ads Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So i was thinking the other day - i am interested in most aircraft pretty much from 1940 onwards - are there any that haven't been kitted by a major company in Injection Moulding yet? I wanted to do a poll and submit it to some major companies to get them thinking - i had my own aircraft in mind until recently when someone went and kitted it!! What would you guys want to see?

jester292 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Wishful thinking if you ask me. But I don't have any ideas of kits never before made in 1/48. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 SU-33, B-47, ACU-130J, and an updated Mig-25. Thankfully the Chinese have hooked us modelers up over the past decade. Su-24, Mig-23, Vigilante, Demon, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 How about the F-101A/C and RF-101A/C Voodoo? Monogram just made the two seater B versions. I think there is a real need for the single seaters, especially the RF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightymax Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 How bout a Grumann Tiger. Or a McDonnell Banshee or Phantom I. Yeah there was the old Lindberg kit of the Tiger, but we need a new one! I keep wishing for a nice B-26K Counter Invader in the same league as Revell's Ventura... Max Bryant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xavi84 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I would buy a 1/48 PB4Y Privateer in a heartbeat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 here's a few Sukhoi jets that comes to my mind(and aren't already named) : Su-9, Su-11, Su-17(20),Su-17M2(22), Su-34, Su-47... Also, a special place for a MiG-31... and some more fulcrums : MiG-29M,K,OVT,M2,KuB...SMT(917,919...)to name only a few variants... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 YF-23, F-16XL, Mig1.44, possibly T-50. T-2 is pretty rare. B-2 would be nice. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 F-15SG! Come on Academy, you know you want to! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vimana Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'd be happy to see someone produce a Yak-11, a Yak-18, and a Jet Provost in 1/48th scale, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen. I know most modelers don't share my interest in trainers. Also, as I've mentioned before, a 1/48 Mi-8 helicopter would be welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny2174 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not in mind any that have never been produced in 1/48. But I would really love it if someone came out with a new release of a 1/48 F-4J Phantom II. Most of the Hasegawa F-4J's are OOP, and nobody has really released any ones yet. I know Revell has a decent F-4 C/D, and Academy will release their 1/48 F-4B sometime this year, but I'd like to see a lot more choices for J model since I'd assume the F-4 is a very popular aircraft among modelers.

MikeC Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 F9F-8 Cougar and an accurate Spitfire XIV/XIX series. Also +1 here for the Grumman Tiger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 F9F-8 Cougar and an accurate Spitfire XIV/XIX series. Also +1 here for the Grumman Tiger. Same here, please! Also, someone mentioned a Banshee...! Ohh, yeah! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrysumner Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The B-36!!!! That would be a 57.5" wingspan..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mlicari Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'd like more early US Navy jets in 1/48. The recent releases of the Fury and the Demon were great, so there is obviously interest. An F11F Tiger, an F2H Banshee, and a F9F-8 Cougar would be awesome! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wh1skea Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'd like to see an injection molded B-52D/G/H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USMC Herc Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I will speak for the Marine Transport Guys and say a KC-130 F/R/T and a KC-130J w/ Harvest Hawk Upgrade. Has anyone made a C-17 in this scale?? Edited July 23, 2012 by USMC Herc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pigsty Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Crossing to the other side of the herring pond for a moment ... I don't believe there's ever been an injection-moulded 1/48 Gloster Javelin, Supermarine Swift or Supermarine Scimitar. Nor a Vautour. I'm a bit unsure about the Super Mystere and the Mystere IV - they may have been done by a small French manufacturer. There have been IM kits of the F9F-8, F11F-1 (both Fonderie Miniature) and P-63 (MPM), though I wouldn't want to claim any of them was top of the range.

William G Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I am guessing this is for the major makers to do an Injection Mold right? if so then X-29 Have Blue F-16XL Accurate YF-16 Lavi F-4CCV Vought XF8U-3 Crusader III William G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Single seat F-101 series F-107 F-86H FH Phantom F2H-2 F2H-3 F11F (since the Fonderie kit is so hard to find) F9F Cougar (see above) Falcon 20 King Air 200 Beechjet (T-1A Jayhawk) T-37 Scimitar (even though I'm happy with the Dynavector kit) UH-1F HH-3E P1Y Ginga (Frances) YF-23 Dash-8 Canadair Regional Jet EMB-120 SAAB-340 My list goes on and on....

braincells37 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 After the early B-17 (B, C, D), I'd really like to see a kit of the B-23 Dragon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dekon70 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I'm going to go the odd aircraft route(and yes I know the first two were kitted in resin): 1. AF-2/3 Guardian 2. AJ-2 Savage 3. B-26K 4. F-108 Rapier Edited July 23, 2012 by dekon70 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Things on my 1/48 wish list: FJ-2/3 Fury (Esci's prototype doesn't quite count IMHO) F-86H Folland Gnat (Aeroclub did a multi-media one, but it is very tough to find) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
