dsahling Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 With a fairly large number of new 1/32 aircraft being released, Trumpeter's MiG-29 line, TanModel Su-33, does anyone know about any plans for either a 1/32 EA-6B or at least a conversion? What about a 1/32 Su-34? 1/32 MiG-25? And why doesn't Tamiya release some of the two-seater F-16s, I mean the kit is engineered so you have to attach the front fuselage, or do maybe styrene conversions for F-16B, D, I, etc?

Zactoman Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Let's not forget the F-22 Raptor. I know, it's boring and gray and has dull repetitive markings, but it's kinda shiny. Seriously though, it's been in service for 14 years and we don't have a kit of what is likely the best fighter in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 been some talk about AMK scaling up their F14D, and I thought I read somewhere that somebody was interested in doing the A37B in 1/32. I'd be all over that A37! Zero interest in a large scale Tomcat. I'd like a large scale F5 / T38 personally. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup even though I normally don't build in 1/32nd I would love a 1/32nd Prowler. That is such a great looking aircraft and probably why I have 4 of the silly things in 1/48th. Of course my favourite aircraft is the A-4 Skyhawk so I have several of these in 1/32nd but they are not that big in that scale. As for Tamiya not releasing the 1/32nd two seater F-16 (even though it looks like the kit is set up for it) I think they do this on purpose so it gives them options down the road. The thing with Tamiya or for that matter Hasegawa too I think, it seems they work on their own schedule. Look at how long Hasegawa took to release the two seater A-4 or the two seat F-104. Time and money I guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I guess a good MiG-15/17 is really needed. Also Su-17/22. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've actually always really liked the look of the F-22, I did one in 1/48th a few years back, I enjoyed doing the camouflage as since the sheen weathers and reflects light differently at different angles it can actually be a lot of fun to airbrush. I'd love to see 1/32 F-22, and you're right its been out for 14 years...why don't we have a big one yet? I mean Italeri is going to be releasing that ugly, stubby looking F-35, how does it go Can't run, can't climb, can't turn? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah there was that two seater from Hasegawa years ago but needs some resin love. Trumpeter has their single seat A-4s and since those are the most recent releases then they are probably the next one to do so. However never say never. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'd be down for a 32nd EA-6B too. Its always been a favorite of mine. I'm building the Trumpeter A-6A kit now and am having a blast with it, but man, is it huge! A Prowler would be even bigger! However, a new tool 32nd scale F-5E/F would be number one on my hit list. Supposedly Kitty Hawk is releasing one next month. We'll see... Fred K. I'd also be interested in: F-101B F-102A F-106A TA-4J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Ive actually been moving away from 1/32. Currently, I'm gradually finishing up kits that have been sitting for years in a partially finished state and I am avoiding buying more. Cost is a significant factor when I like the 1/32 details, but I always end up with aftermarket pumped into the kit to give it "more". The other factor is room to display.....Those are large kits for the most part and I just haven't got the room. But...I see a 1/32 Su-33 in my future.....I don't think I'll be able to resist.

Many years ago my friend built the Combat Models (or was it ID Models?) F-101B Voodoo. It was huge!!! However if that came out in 1/32nd I would be sorely tempted to do a CAF CF-101B with the grey scheme and the go fast striping. Saw those fly way back and they blew me away with the noise and power. JP4 yeahhhh! And yes a newish TA-4J would also be great as the Hasegawa kit needs some love. I do have the Avionix set for the cockpit and that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I listed these five aircraft on my blog not too long ago. Waco CG-4A glider Martin B-26 Marauder Lockheed Martin F-22 Lockheed Martin F-35 Lockheed U-2 series It’s not what I necessarily what I want to see, but I think they would sell. http://www.scalemodelsoup.com/2016/09/scale-model-soups-aircraft-wish-list.html Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcatfreak Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 A new and correct!!!! F-14A-B-D would be a big seller. I hope Tamiya or AMK are blowing their 1/48 up to 1/32 scale... This would be my biggest wish, a correct Tomcat in 1/32... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
