CorsairMan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We live in wonderful modeling times. Personally I can't get enough of what is available - but here is my top 5 list of kits I'd like to see: Model Airplane Maker What about you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwestforests Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hmm ... Has been a while since I've really looked in to what is currently available and there is so very much more than there was in 1970s and 80s; from what I do know, it sure does look like right now is a good time to be an aircraft modeler. Because as my health declines I have been putting more in to trains than planes there has to now be much available which I do not know of. I had intended to give a listing but it is turning out that my brain just won't do that at the moment, sorry. Well, here's a thought, talking along the "What if Tamiya did a ..." theme, What if Tamiya did a 1/48 and a 1/72 Buccaneer? Have recently seen a 1/48 SAAB J29 Tunnan, so there's one earlier wish fulfilled. Don't know that I'll ever get one and build it the way things are now though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 1. For ICM to actually do the A26 series! 2. A A6m3 zero in 1/32 from Hasegawa 3. Somebody please do a new A20 series 4. Somebody please do a P51h in 1/32!! 5. Revell please reissue the He162 in 1/32! 6. How about a new large scale Lysander? Glt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viperguy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 1/48 thin wing RF4B that I can afford. New Phantom kit prices are getting out of hand! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

New Frogfoot in 1/48 would also be awesome... And maybe a new tooled 1/144 KC-10. I'd buy all of that. -Ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knowing them, they'll eventually do the entire series. I'd love one in 32nd but regardless, I'd say the A-20 box is now firmly checked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurt H. Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) These threads are fun once in a while. It is a great time to be an aircraft modeller, lots of long neglected subjects are being kitted. In a perfect world, I would love to see the following as modern new tool kits, 90s Hasegawa quality or better 1/48 F-86H 1/48 Blackbird family 1/144 C-133 1/48 A-26K 1/48 thin wing RF-4B It is not my dream kit, but I really think the time is right for a new 1/48 B-17 ... Ultra super detailed like a Zoukie Mura kit. I also think it might be a good time for an all new tool 1/32 Phantom family. Edited January 4, 2019 by Kurt H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
