What are your top 5 dream model kits?

1.       A kit that was properly researched. So, that the finish model shape and surface match the real thing.

2.       A kit that its parts are well thought out. Joints and part seams are in logical location and does not require a ton of attention to properly finish. The same goes for how parts are laid out on the sprue.

3.       A kit that does not have access panel open. Just mold them shut and if one wants to open them, have them cut it open.

4.       A kit with clear and well thought out instructions. I wish some of the newer kit manufactures would take some time and study the instructions from any Tamiya kit. 

5.       With the knowledge and understanding of 1-4, a new tooled 1/48 scale F-111 series would be nice  🙂

Agreed, including the new F-111 series!

Plus in 1/48:

Su-25

Su-30SM

New tool Phantom FG.1 and FGR.2 (I believe Z-M are supposed to do them eventually)

B-26 series

All 1/48:

1. New tool B-26 Marauder - along the lines of the Acc Min. B-25.

2. AV-8A

Dont even need a 5th.  These 4 would make for the best year of modeling EVER!

32 and 48 scale Canadair Sabres 2, 5 and 6 as there are exterior and internal changes that make them different from their North American built cousins.

48 scale Spitfire F21

32 scale Spitfire FXIV - c or e version

5) scarlett johansson  in g-string (1/1 model)

 

Hell, YYYEEEAAAHH!!!, Nachjager! YYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHH...!!!:punk::punk::punk: That's my mate!

Beggars can't be choosers, but could it be Jessica Alba (or Jessica Biel), Jaime Koeppe or Sommer Ray instead?

Not a g-string, but a common thong in fluorescent yellow/green colour, please.

Cheers,

After some consideration... 

 

i would love to see a new Tamiya 1:48 A-10. They could do an early one, one with LASTE mods, and a C.

 

I know HB and Italeri have done the A-10 somewhat recently, but that doesn’t make Tamiya any money. And if the Gold Standard did it, it would be right.
