Ratch Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I to would love somthing more obscure like the buffalo plus the flying boats because there are hardly any early war american planes for things such as the pacific/media/tinymce_upload/b635bcda545a53e695d53f5f02a33071.jpgific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 I guess with the 2020 range announced we should have a wishlist for next year.I'll start with:1/72 Junkers Ju 88A-11/72 de Havilland Mosquito NFII1/72 V-bomber Ground Supply Set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kavanagh Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'm always up for a wish list! Now, the Ju88A-1 is promised from A N Other manufacturer this year, so I don't think it'll make the Airfix Top Ten.Now the Beaufort is coming, surely its time for my regular battle cry of "1/72 Fairey Battle"! While I'm about it, what about a Blackburn Botha? Avro Manchester?Time for some fantasy wish list items:A 1/72nd Handley Page HP42Any varieties of interwar RAF biplane fighters and light bombers, even Fleet Air Arm types, would be lovely.Some new airfield support vehicles in the smaller scale.I reckon I would be very tempted by a 1/24th Gloster Gladiator.

Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I second the ground support set for the 'V' bombers Ratch, with the proviso that it should contain 'Blue Steel' handling vehicle.Also would like to see Avro Manchester, Fairey Battle and Lincoln. The Gannet AEW 3 is available from another manufacturer in 1/72A new tool bomber nose Canberra in 1/721/72 Skua, Roc, Firefly and Sea Gladiator (slight mod/ extra sprue for current Gladiator kit, so Malta aircraft can be produced)1/72 Javelin1/72 Jaguar1/72 Scout, Wasp, Whirlwind (helicopter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Frame1707819990 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 An easy one to start with, re release the Do 17 in 1/72,Then scale up that marvellous kit to make a 1/48 Do 17.Also scale up the Me 262 to 1/48, I think they would sell well.A 1/48 Blenheim IV.Looking forward with no patience whatsoever for the Beaufort to arrive..

Sy Winship Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I've said this before, but what about some 1/48 helicopters that haven't been tooled either a) recently, b) in TRUE 1/48 scale or c) both? A Scout and Wasp. A Puma. A Lynx HAS.2/3. A Gazelle. A Sea King HC.4/Commando. Surely I can't be the only person in the world who'd buy a couple each of those kits if they were out...

Britkitbuilder Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 1/48 Westland Scout, 1/48 DHC BeaverJudging by the popularity (and scarcity) of the 1/72 Scout, a 1/48 scale ACCURATE version of this iconic helicopter would be a best seller. The Beaver in 1/48 scale would also be bought in large numbers. The only other game in town is the now out of production and impossible (almost) to find Hobbycraft model, which was basic to say the least.Other goodies would be an Auster 9 AOP in any scale, re-release of the FN Rifle and Tommy Gun and a whole series of WW2 British softskin vehicles in 1/35 scale.Fingers Crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 A bit of thought and a Westland Wasp uses most of the same parts as a Scout... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigD6 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'd love to see an updated Civilians set in !:72. Figures to provide colour to diorama's from WWII onwards. Model railway sets are generally quite static, soft in detail and expensive, so a decent set to replace the old Airfix railway figures would be very welcome.

Ratch Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 But what scale? Airfix have done the Shannon and the Mary Rose in their small ships.A nice 1/180 HMS Warrior would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezzie29 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 But what scale? Airfix have done the Shannon and the Mary Rose in their small ships.A nice 1/180 HMS Warrior would be good.1/180 might work for the Warrior and Shannon, but Ithink the Mary Rose might end up being a bit small in that scale, maybe 1/72 to match the Golden Hind or possibly 1/87-1/100?Or even add Warrior to the series one ships, and add a few more to the range, like Great Britain, Great Eastern, Bounty, Discovery, USS Constitution...

Kenneth ONeill Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Well, this has been discussed before, but the Capri tool was more or less destroyed to make a "Kustom kar" in the 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCD Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Time to reissue some of the models that that been ignored for years (assuming the moulds are still available!)DUWKCenturionChieftainand the JBmodel range especially, the Vickers VII always fanced doing the paddle steamer Great Western.As for the 'bread and butter ' large aircraft range if it has to be yet another Ww2 German lets have something different rather than the usual FW 190, Me110, 109, Stuka - say Do24, FW Condor (several sets out of it!). Someting completely different would be the The Blohm & Voss BV 138 Seedrache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
