Jonathan S Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) My dream list of kits has been reduced greatly lately, such as 1/48 Su-22, Su-33 and Su-34. But I still have some I'd like to see... Injection molded 1/32 EA-6B Injection molded 1/48: P-3 Orion X-15 X-29 Tu-22M3 Backfire (not the Tu-22 Blinder) New tool revisit in 1/48: B-17 F-16 (more blocks from Tamiya would be best) Ships: USS Midway (any era) 1/350 There's more I'd like to see, but think the list above would be better sellers. What kits do you want to see? Edited June 21, 2018 by Jonathan S spelling correction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hard to argue with your choices. I am pretty surprised the B-17 has not been re-visited in 1/48. The only kit I would like to see which is reasonable would be a new tool 1/48 Blackbird family. Everything else I would like to see borders on the absurd.

Raptor01 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 1/48 Hasegawa F-111 Series. 1/72 tooling is 30 yrs old and one of the best series kits released by them. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The old Monogram kit is actually pretty good and very affordable. I always thought Trumpeter/Hobbyboss would do it back when they were releasing 10-12 new kits a year. They seemed to be doing new kits of just about all the monogram classics, and doing new kits which had been requested for years. I have no desire to build one, but I do enjoy trying to understand the industry and guess which company will do what, and when. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathan S Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 I forgot to add that I think a 1/18th scale F-16 would be a huge success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I echo the sentiment on the F-86A. Heck, even an F-86E, seems only the F model is available in 1:48 or 1:32. 1:32 P/F-82. All the Century Series in 1:32 not already extant. 1:32 Cessna 15x or 17x or 310 New-tool 1:48 A-26 Invader 1:32 T-38 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'll second the X-15 and any other X craft, Navy, NASA, USAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Siga Models did the AM-1 Mauler and MPM did the FR-1 Fireball (also the XF2R-1) in 1/72 scale. Czech Models did the FR-1 in 1/48 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
