Jay Chladek Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I think it is going to be.... A model kit! (what do I win?) As for AD-5, Matchbox did one (A-1E specifically) and I've seen some nice kitbashes done with it and Monogram Skyraiders to correct its shortcomings. Indeed a 1/48 AD-5 would be a nice subject.

braincells37 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well, it should be a PV-2 Harpoon DITTO!!! Or a B-23 Dragon. Or a Capelis XC-12. Terry :wacko: :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'd like to see them do a 1/32nd A37!! gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog 09 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) How about a MH-53J PaveLow or a CH-53D. Man would that be nice. Dave Fassett Edited October 25, 2011 by Bulldog 09 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondback Six Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 How about a 1/48 MH-53J PaveLow. Man would that be nice. Especially if it was built around a revamp of their old HH-53C, updated to modern interior-detail standards... really, I'd like it if they did an Academy/Hasegawa/et al. and retooled the kit so that they could do the entire Sea Stallion/Super Jolly/Pave Low/Ya'sur 2-engine "family tree" just by which "add-on" sprues were bundled in with the "core kit". And added pre-notched droptank sponsons instead of making you cut your own and hope your cuts are good enough... I have enough trouble cutting along panel-lines, never mind "unguided".

muswp1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'd love to see a run of Skywarrior/Destroyer kits. Although a Stallion family series of kits would be cool too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 However a 1/48 B-47 would be interesting. Jari I did hear some talk of a 1.48 B-47. This was to be A-model doing the airframe components in fibreglass like their massive 1.72 kits and then all the engines / cockpit etc being done by Paul Fisher, not heard any news on it latley though.

RedHeadKevin Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) How about a T-37? It's never been done before, and it's probably "close enough" that they would use some moldings from the old A-37 kit. (Before you laugh, they figured the A-6, EA-6A and EA-6B were all close enough that they reused too many parts.) As for someone who sarcastically mentioned teen fighters, I don't think they should be so sarcastic. Revell's recent teen fighters (Strike Eagle and Superhornet) have been really nice representations of their type, at a much lower cost than the competition. Although, I still put in my vote for a 1/48 B-2, with one-piece wing halves (maybe vacuum-formed with injection-molded internal structure for rigidity.)

nightiemission Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 3rd vote for a 48th PV-2 Harpoon. OR, hows about a 48th B-32? Cheers, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 how about they make 2 tomcat kits one that is a real f-14a with all of the f-14a parts early to late. then they make a f-14 b/d kit where u can make a f-14b or d from one kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afspret Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Hows about a B-32 Dominator, or maybe a B-45 Tornado? As a nod to our cousins across the pond, maybe an Avro Lincoln or a Hawker Tempest II? New tooled B-47 and B-52 would be nice as well. With the BUFF, I liked to see one with options for a C-E and possibly an F version. Since someone brought up about a new tooled B-17F, I liked to float the idea of a 1/48th scale B-17C/D (including markings for a Fortress Mk I). Almost forgot, why not a 1/48th F-86H?

dmk0210 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I'd love to see a B-45. That would be very unique. Edited October 26, 2011 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With the BUFF, I liked to see one with options for a C-E and possibly an F version. While this thread is for 1/48 primarily and the BUFF is 1/72, I agree--like my thought on the H-53s, the tall-tail BUFF would be another great place for a "family-tree" toolset with variant specific detail-sections around a common "core".

I can tell you what it won't be: It won't be anything that was solely operated by the US. Given that the majority of the market for models is based in the far east, there is absolutely no business case to be made for making one of the jet aircraft above (as much as I'd love to see a 1/48th B-47). I don't think the average Japanese or Chinese modeler has much, if any, interest in a US cold-war jet aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 a 3rd vote for the F-35 here! (i'm a Jet guy...) if they are smart, they'll know that soon, we're going to be submerged by F-35 images everywhere (in the west) which is a great help for sales... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grenadier37 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ooh! How about a re-tooled Messer-schnittzle, with recessed panel lines, photo ethed and resin parts in 1/24th... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waylandcool Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 As we are talking about Revell Iam not expecting much. They better should reissue their F/A-18E. You mean the 1/48th Super Hornet that's currently out. I saw two at Hobbytown last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 You mean the 1/48th Super Hornet that's currently out. I saw two at Hobbytown last night. Probably means the one that actually came with weapons, not the later empty pylons version. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChesshireCat Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 From the spru shots of the ventura, I have an idea that the next kit will be a glass nosed version, and maybe a Hudson down the road gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I want an AMX. With single and twin-seat options, and a huge decal sheet full of exotic special schemes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I want an AMX. With single and twin-seat options, and a huge decal sheet full of exotic special schemes! If a mainstream AMX kit ever surfaces, my money's on Italeri. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 To be honest, I would love to see a 1/48th scale classic propliner. Ideally a DC-6/7 or even a Connie. They've got international appeal, pretty much every western nation flew these back in the day, hundreds of colorful markings to choose from and they are some of the prettiest planes ever flown. If the size is an issue, maybe a Martin 404? Of course none of these planes had swastikas so it will never happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
