If I had to make a wish list, it would be :

  • 1/48th T-38C
  • New tool Mirage IV in 1/48th scale
  • New tool Falcon 10 in 1/48th scale too
  • 1/48th Falcon 20
  • 1/48th Falcon 50, Falcon 900, Falcon 7X (Did you say Dassault planes fan ? :lol:/>/> )
  • Nice decal sets for NASA planes in each scale.

In fact, kit makers have already or are about to fulfill my wishes (new Mirage 2000 and upcomming Alphajet from Kinetic, new Jaguar A and upcomming Mirage F-1CR/B from Kitty Hawk ... Santa Claus do exist ! :woot.gif: )

Hmm if I had to do a wishlist:

All in 1/48 scale:

Bell X-1A

North American F-107A

Gemini Spacecraft

Beechcraft 18/C-45

Aero L-29 Delfin

Supermarine Scimitar

Nice decal sets for NASA planes

And ditto this sentiment! But also some nice Air Force Flight Test Center and Naval Air Test Center markings.

These may seem like wild choices but then again if I had asked for a new Supermarine Attacker two years ago people would have called me crazy so lets see what happens.

Hmm, I wish some of the decal companies would scale up their decals in 1/32. Stencils for one, a lot of large scale modelers would love to have some of their 1/48 sheets in 1/32. It's pain to see cool marking in 1/48 but large scale modelers get passed over. Not cool... :bandhead2:/>

Okay Ill say the same response I always do. A new tool 1/48 F-111 family that actually looks like an F-111. And in 1/72 a new tool B-1B or B-58. And I don't mind paying over $100 for any of these if they are done properly!

If I were a model company, I'd look at the market for REALLY POOR kits that people pay silly money for, and then spend even more for update kits to improve. How about a 1/48 OV-10 to replace the Testors, an A-1e to replace the Matchbox - can you think of some others that fit that description?

More suggestions - a 1/48 Mig 25/31 to replace that poor (is it an ex Lindberg? ) kit, an AH-56 Cheyanne helicopter in 1/48 to replace the old, rare, Aurora. Might even be time for a really good Osprey.

Roden seems to have caught on with the Mohawk and the T-28.

I think that it's an excellent idea. I would add to your list, for example, all the models proposed by "Fonderie Miniature" : awful kits that are sold sometimes up to $250 on eBay.

Some of these may be fairly "pipe dream" sort of things, even so, these are some of the things I'd love to see in modern-quality kit form.

I'm not real picky. Just these:

1/72:

1) ACCURATE C-130J's - As many variants as you can make.....especially the lesser known ones like the EC-130J Commando Solo.

THE C-130J LINE IS WAY OVERDUE....REVELL. :)

2) A retooled RC-135V Rivet Joint. WITH CORRECTED, ACCURATE WINGS.

That's all for now. More later probably. Not yelling at anybody. Just making a holiday rant. LOL...
