punder Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Plunder, plus eleventy-billion on the 1/48 Dash-8!!! A 1/48 Screamin' Weenie would be cool, too. I spent some time commuting in the back of those noisy little [CENSORED] right before Eagle got rid of them. :D/> A 1/48 F-86A, H, and FJ-3 would be a license to print money if done correctly. Still need the F11F, too. I'd love to see some 1/48 civil subjects, like a Falcon 20 and King Air series. Others on my 1/48 wish list are apparently in the works (T-37, F2H-2, RF-101A/C). Ben I almost died in one, so I've had a soft spot for them ever since. As long as we're doing lists, here are the other top nicknames for the Screamin' Weenie! San-Antonio Sewerpipe Texas Sewer Pipe Death pencil Texas Lawn Dart Swetro (It got very hot in the summer) Baltimore Whore (no visible means of support, skinny lil 'ol wings) Terror Tube "That noisy f*****g thing" Widow maker Kerosene Crowbar Fear tube Necroliner Buzzbomb Metrowhiner Death Tube The other scary thing about them is the Underage Drivers they hire to fly the things.

Ben Brown Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I don't think I've ever met anyone who flew Metros that didn't say, "I almost died in one!" :D/> My best friend was killed in a II many years ago. It definitely wasn't forgiving of crew error/inexperience. Ben Edited August 27, 2015 by Ben Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silmariand Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I second everyone who suggested a 1/48th Su-34, Su-35 and SR-71. I would add a high quality and acurate Mirage F-1C/B/C-200/CR/CT (like AMK MiG-31) and a EC-765 Tigre, NH-90 Caïman, AS-355 Ecureuil/Squirel/Fennec, all in 1/48th of course. I think there could be a good market for a 1/48th NH-90 due to the relatively large number of users (France, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Australia, Italy, Spain, Finland, Greece, New-Zealand, Sweden, Portugal, Netherland, Oman, Morocco). But maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

torchf4 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just praying for Tamiya to rescribe their entire 1/32 F-14A! And maybe add some updates in plastic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 My wish is for Tamiya to scale down more of their 1/48 and 1/32 lineup to 1/72, like the Spitfire Mk.IXc and VIII, and F-16C/N. I'd also like Hasegawa to do a new tool Rafale in 1/72. The Italeri is long in the tooth and the Hobbyboss one is a tad underscale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thegoodsgt Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Before I'd ask for a new-tool anything, I'd look to fill gaps among the models we currently have. For example, a C-82A, preferably 1/144. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'd like to see Revell get off their hind ends, and do two new JU88's in 1/72 scale. I want a "G" and a BOB JU88a1. Then lets tool up a Hudson in 1/48th. After watching the meager attempt at a new tool F100 from Trumpeter, and can only wish for somebody to take their time and do one right. Also on my list for a complete rebuild would be the A26 Invader and Counter Invader. This one's easy! I simply want Fujimi to start marketing their F14's in 1/72 scale over here again. And while they're at it, how about the A6's and A4's again? gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 My Wishlist, all in 1/48: Su-25 (new tool) Su-17/22 (new tool) Yak-130 T-50 PAK FA Su-34 Su-33 (Aviation Art, where art thou?) Su-35S Su-30MKI Su-30SM Tu-160 MiG-29K MiG-35 Ka-52 Mi-8/17 Mi-24 (new tool) Mi-35 Mi-28 SR-71 (new tool) OV-10 (new tool) B-2 B-52 (OK, maybe it would be too big...) Hmmm, seems like my list is very Russian aircraft heavy. Seems most of the American ones I like are already done well enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teeradej Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Mine; 1/48 L-19/O-1, Sharper moulding, better fit and not as rare as Hasegawa/Model USA OV-10A, new tooling to replace dimensional error Testors kit A-1E, better shape wise than Matchbox kit 1/72 A-1E, to replace Monogram vintage HU-16B, again to replace Monogram vintage MiG-23ML/MLD, RV plastic issued by whoever with plastic missile in a box RA-5C, not over riveted and misshapen as Trumpeter one T-28D, improved one over Heller UH-1D/H, new tooling with, or at least Italeri kit with, PROPER plastic door gun configuration and... Accurate shape SR-71/A-12/YF-12/M-21! 1/144 A300-600 airliner, never before as injected plastic kit in this scale B-52D/E/F, never before as injected plastic kit in this scale C-5A/B, better and worth the $$$ than pricy Otaki origin C-141A/B, never before as injected plastic kit in this scale KC-10/DC-10-30, At least, Revell reissue L1011 Tristar, again better and worth the $$$ than pricy Otaki origin Tu-16, corrected cockpit window arrangement which is wrong on Trump kit Tu-95K-22, never before as injected plastic kit in this scale Tu-95RT, correct fuselage diameter which is noticeably wrong on Revell kit Tu-22 Blinder, never before as injected plastic kit in this scale :pray:/> Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
