Model Forum / General / Models / June 2006Friendly survey - What 1/48 aircraft kits would you like to be newly tooled?
For me it would be the F-100 Super Sabre, the SAAB Viggen, and Jaguar (both French snd English), EH 101 Merlin, Mirage F-1, and Tornado GR1/F3. Can you imagine what these kits would be like if Hasegawa or Revell came out with new kit designs for these planes? I drool just thinking about it. > For me it would be the F-100 Super Sabre, the SAAB Viggen, and Jaguar > (both French snd English), EH 101 Merlin, Mirage F-1, and Tornado > GR1/F3.

Very nice list. I totally agree, but i'd add a Hawker Hart. Dennis sounds good to me , I would add a bugatti racer ( aircraft) to go with the DH88. I think Special hobbies or someone has the Boomerang listed for the future. regards JimboD >>> For me it would be the F-100 Super Sabre, the SAAB Viggen, and Jaguar >>> (both French snd English), EH 101 Merlin, Mirage F-1, and Tornado [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Dennis I would like to see some of the development types: Douglas B-19 Boeing B-15 Tony > I would like to see some of the development types: > > Douglas B-19 > Boeing B-15 To go with your collection of 1/72nd scale Zeppelins, no doubt?

But seriously... somewhat PBM Mariner PB2Y Coronado AM Mauler B-17D and earlier B-10 or export version, e.g. Dutch versions in SEA during WWII B-50 Keystone Bombers Navy Curtiss Small/Large Americas Flying Boats from Dubya-Dubya-One Grumman Duck Grumman Albatross Grumman Goose Lockheed Hudson Lockheed Electra Lockheed Ventura Lockheed Constellation (mil, civ - doesn't matter) S2F Tracker and COD versions E-2 Hawkeye and COD versions Douglas DC-4 Fairchild C-123 Provider S*k*rsky H-57 S*k*rsky H-34 (wouldn't hurt my feelings to get that in 1/35 either. I love this chopper!) Vought A-7 Corsair II PT-17 (another great big scale 1/32 candidate too) Piper J-3 Cub (ditto on 1/32) X-Planes - X-1 thru X-15 and beyond Curtiss SC Seahawk and the Curtiss (SO3C?) Seamew - for those days when I need to upchuck but can't ;-) Just off the top of my head... WmB -snip- > But seriously... somewhat -snip- > PT-17 (another great big scale 1/32 candidate too) Lindberg already makes a more than decent 1/48th scale PT-17. The mold is ancient but the kit is pretty accurate in outline and dimensions and goes together fairly nicely. As befits a kit of that age, the detailing is pretty basic but scratch-built details can be added easily enough if that's your thing. There's not a lot in a PT-17 cockpit after all.

I would be more than happy if they would replace the damaged worn out molds with new ones (or at least fix the old ones) when they reissue an old model. Case in point is the Revell B-29. The front glass canopy has been worn down to the point that you can barely make out the alum frame. Some years back they (Revell) sent me three of the same with the same problem after I complained, but to no avail since the problem is a worn out mold.

Can you imagine what these kits would be like if Hasegawa or > Revell came out with new kit designs for these planes? I drool just > thinking about it. Re the 1/48 kits I'd like to see. I agree on the re-tooling of the Revell-Monogram bombers (B-17F/G, B-24D/H/J/M). That said, I'd like Hasegawa or Tamiya to do them given that they do a better job on the detailing. Other's I'd like to see - mostly from the Vietnam era - by Hasegawa/Tamiya (in no particular order) A-26K (B-26K? Vietnam era attack aircraft) A-37 C-47 (WWII and Vietnam variants - there were some changes) CH/HH-3 helicopter (Was one ever made in 1/48?) CH/HH-53 DC-3 (with the correct landing gear) F-100D/F F-105D/F/G H-34 (R)B-57D/F/G T-28D O-1 O-2 OV-10 Ed >> For me it would be the F-100 Super Sabre, the SAAB Viggen, and Jaguar >> (both French snd English), EH 101 Merlin, Mirage F-1, and Tornado [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > F-100D/F > F-105D/F/G Can we please have decent versions of those last two in 1/72 as well? Pretty please? SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. I guess what I'd like to see is some of the unsung heros of aviation. Having grown up and served during the cold war, the support aircraft need recognition. C-7 C-121 C-123 C-124 C-131/T-29 XC-99 Also bring some of the airliner airframes that saw military service DC-9-30 / C-9 B737 / T-41 B727 I just picked up a 1/48 Revell B-ONE at Hobby Lobby...used the 50% off coupon and a gift card from my kids for Father's Day...I built one years ago for a local hobby shop to hang in their store. I wish someone would either aftermarket or manufacturer provide flaps/slats for the 'dirty' configuration. It just is wrong to have a plane hanging with the gear down and the wings clean. The one I did for the shop is clean with an AMRAAM being launched from the weapons bay. The one I picked up will hang in a stairwell in front of a mural of a runway as if on final. It will be a neat forced prospective which allows you to walk under the aircraft as frozen in time. >> For me it would be the F-100 Super Sabre, the SAAB Viggen, and Jaguar >> (both French snd English), EH 101 Merlin, Mirage F-1, and Tornado [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > A-26K (B-26K?

That's probably what you saw in a Testors box. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. I'd love to see a quality Grumman S2 family, S2F, COD, Willy Fudd all in 1:48 scale. How about it Accurate Miniatures, you have sample in great condition a short distance from your plant. Just a reminder from our discussion at the ATL NATS.

This is an interesting thread.i would like to see the following WW2 subjects kitted in 1/48:A-31/A-35 Vultee Veangence, Vultee P-66 Vanguard and North American NA-64.A little obscure,i know but but the Vultee products found employment in other nations airforces.

And I was being silly. The 1/200th kit made for a somewhat largish model. 1/48th would just be too outlandish > there are 1/48 ju 88's, how mucj bigger would > a 188 be.? Not a lot. and the ju 86 was smaller, i believe. I don't think so based on once owning a Supermodel kit in 1/72. That thing was much longer and wider than an 88. > think of how cool a condor legion 86 would be with a guy > hanging over the dustbin with a row of mg holes stitched > across. and a rata flying cross beam. That sounds good but it would take up considerable space when finished. OTOH you could use a 1/72 Rata and force the perspective. Outside of dabbling now and again in 1/48th I stayed with 1/72 almost exclusively from 1964 'til now. The size just always seemed right just as HO always looked 'right' for trains. BTW, the movie was great. There was some disturbances in the soundtrack during the opening credits but that disappeared and everything was great. I enjoyed the movie too much to pick at the dialogue this time - maybe on the next viewing. ;) Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> >And a Spruce Goose........;) >> > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > >Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. i'm still looking for a vhs copy for you. glad it was ok. i would hang the 86 dio...too big anywhere else. > >> In article <CsHng.6859$Ud4.6133@bignews1.bellsouth.net>, "Art Murray" > >> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > hanging over the dustbin with a row of mg holes stitched > across. and a rata flying cross beam. There already are Ju-188s in 1:48 scale. Dragon does an A and an E version. (I don't think they are in current production, but you can still find them around...) I'd love to see an He-115. Ju-86 is a good one, too. Others I always cast a vote for in the polls: Martin B-10 and Douglas B-18. The B-23 would be good, too. And more Japanese twin-engined bombers. As cool as a 1:48 B-15 and B-19 would be, that's a might bit too big. 1:72 would be great for those. - Sean F. Eduard needs to do a the Salmson 2A2. It's far too important a plane to leave unmodelled. I think that you can get a 1/72 pegasus kit, maybe merlin. There aren't any Salmsons in 1/48th injection molded, maybe not even resin or vac! Why wouldn't Eduard do it in 1/48 and in 1/72 like they did with the Sopwiths and DH-2?
