Crazy Snap Captain Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 New tool 1/48 Su-22 M4, 1/32 Mirage 2000, 1/48 MiG-31 (accurate) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 do wish lists still make people angry? ...it depend on where they are put... (in a "new model available" thread, it's an irritating habits that too many members have...) but doing a thread to do so is exactly what should be done if you want to tell the world (hopefully, someone working for a model company) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 They only make me angry when people don't wish for a 1/48th scale FJ-3 Fury... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Airfixer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Wishlists?! <irony> Slightly less annoying than "XYZ load-out question #178" or "Can the F-22A hold its own against a Bf 109?" or "Realistic weathering of a Galaxy-class Starfleet vessel?" or "Actual shade of RLM 99?", and so forth... </irony> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erik_g Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I am too old to get easily angered about stuff on the internet, and there are far more stuff to get angered about on the internet and in the world today than anything that might be posted on a model building forum. That said, I find it a bit unnecessary to post "Why do they do a kit of A when they probably would sell more if they made a kit of B". Most of the time the very same thread is full of people who´d love a kit of A. Given that Pilot Replica say they will release their SAAB Sk 60, a J 29 Tunnan and a J 21, and that HobbyBoss is working on a J 32 Lansen and also a J 29 Tunnan, and that Tarangus/MPM will release the other Viggen versions I don´t need new releases as much as I need more money. However I´d like to see the SAAB B 17, B 18 and the J 21R in 1/48 too. But I can wait one or two years for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Wish lists are fun , just as long as it is not a thread hi-jack, or posted weekly. I would say I agree with you on the 1/48th black bird family. I would be happy with a re-issue of the Testors kits, but it would be nice to see what could be done with modern tooling. If Kitty Hawk ever releases the 1/48th RF-101A/C then all my reasonable model kit wishes will have come true. Edited February 23, 2015 by Kurt H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Wish lists are funny to me because I'm not sure that the people who post have an idea of the kit development cost and could give a realistic expected sales figure. but doing a thread to do so is exactly what should be done if you want to tell the world (hopefully, someone working for a model company) If I was working for a model company, I wouldn't tell the world too much. Telling that you're going to release this and that without giving the release date is often vaporware that doesn't leave a good image of the company. Yet wish lists are a way for companies to know what some potential customers would like so... in any scale... Yak-27/28 (bomber,recce and EW versions) Su-17/22 family Su-34 MiG-21 Bison Su-15TM MiG-29 9.17 AD-5 Skyraider F7F Tigercat 1/72 CAC F-7s Mirage 2000s Etendard IVP & Super Etendard Mirage F1 (1/72 MPM ones should be good) Mystère IVA Super-Mystère B2 ...

Spectre711 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) F4H-1 kit in 1/48 and/or 1/72 scale. Decal sheets of this would be great also since the Cutting Edge stuff is hard to find. Edited February 23, 2015 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonbryon Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 F7U Cutlass F11F Tiger FH Phantom Supermarine Scimitar Supermarine Swift ...all in 1/48. Su-15TM But Trumpeter have already produced one. Oh wait, hang on... Trumpeter Su-15TM Wishlists are all well and good, but these days what's more important IMO is who makes it...

Joe Hegedus Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 True dat. The "who makes it?" is at LEAST as important as the "what?". Given the track record of certain companies regarding getting the shapes right, having one of those companies announce a kit is very frustrating - especially at the prices they list at now. An expensive kit that has major shape problems is no better, to me, than no kit at all; I'm not willing to fork over $ for a poor value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beingthehero Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Someday they'll make a 1/72 MiG-35...someday.... I also wish upon a wishing star for a Su-30SM and MiG-29SMT 9.19, but I don't see no Fairy Godmother and Jimminy Cricket bringing those to me any time soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teeradej Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) 1/144 large Aircraft...

Berkut Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Someday they'll make a 1/72 MiG-35...someday.... I also wish upon a wishing star for a Su-30SM and MiG-29SMT 9.19, but I don't see no Fairy Godmother and Jimminy Cricket bringing those to me any time soon. First they need to make a real MiG-35... :P Trumpeter is working on 9.19 SMT and so is GWH. So we should have it in 1/72 and 48 eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Said it before and I'll say it again, 1/48 Falcon 20! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) new tool 1/48 F-111 series. AD-5D (32 and 48th scale) Yak-27/28(48th) UH-1D/H Huey (35th) AH-1G Cobra (35th) P-2 Neptune (48th) DC-3/C-47 (48th) Edit - Add these. No chance in hell they'll ever be released but I think they are pretty cool subjects: Convair C-131/CV-240 and especially the might CV-580 (48th) C-140 Jetstar (1/48th) Edited February 23, 2015 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 No, I think they're fun, even though I doubt they have much influence on manufacturers. Mine: 1/48 F-86A F-86H FJ-3 F11F Scimitar (even though I have the excellent Dynavector kit) King Air 200 Falcon 20 (+ eleventy-thousand to what falcon20driver says!!!) 1/144 Dash-8-100 CRJ-700 Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vfma115 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 What about a decent F-82 Twin Mustang? In 1/48 of course. Regards, CG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think wish lists are fun. In addition to me getting to add my wishes to the list, I get to read what other people are wishing for. That can serve to give me a good insight into why models that I don't need are getting sold, but, ones that I might want aren't getting produced. As for "marketability" of any certain aircraft, I don't worry about that,,,,,,,it should be obvious that each company is going to come out with "some model" or another, or they wouldn't be a model company. So, why not try to get your favorite brought to their attention. I too care about which company announces a model, for two reasons. I don't want or need a "wrong shaped" model, I have a stash, so I can wait for a "good tooling" to be made by someone that gives a rip about getting the shape right. And I get tired of waiting for announced models to actually change from vaporware into plastic that can be bought. two examples,,,,,I really don't expect any "great things" from the Trumpeter/Hobby Boss Skyhawks when they come out, if they ever do,,,,,,,,,and many people have forgotten, but, Academy announced an F-4B Phantom in 1/72 before they talked about a 1/48 F-4B Phantom,,,,and now that we are seeing actual plastic, that "Academy quality F-4B" is actually a "Snap together F-4J", at least it is according to their own signs at the show announcement. In the meantime, the Sword 1/72 Cougar is sneaking in practically under the radar,,,,,,when those Photo Cougars come out, I am going to convert one to a fighter, to have the first "Sword Cougar fighter on the block" (noses are already in the spares box) All I really need are two models,,,,,and I could live without either, one is a new tool plastic 1/72 AD-5 series, the other is 1/72 FJ-3/3M Fury, with the different wings in different releases.

ChesshireCat Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 well, I'd love to see Revell do a 1/48th scale Hudson in the same quality as their two Venturas! Secondly, I'd like to see an accurate Counter Invader as well as the A26 Invaders from Korea and WWII in 1/48th. How about a 1/32 Kingfisher? gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yes, because there is not a new 1/48 Skyknight!! :fight:/> I.Martin I'm really surprised nobody has announced one. I finished the Czech Models kit last summer, so you'd think there'd be a new Tamiya or Hasegawa kit on the shelves by now! :D Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
