Richard Graham1707820255 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Getting harder as Airfix are working their way through my wish-list each year! So I'll switch to prediction mode based vaguely on their pattern of subject choice in different "ranges" that I would reasonably expect to see in 2022/23:1/72 Jaguar GR1/3HP Hampden Consolidated B-24 LiberatorConsolidated PBY Catalina1/48Supermarine Scimitar F1DH Sea Venom FAW / Venom NFNorth American T-6 Texan / Harvard IIBBeechcraft T-6 Texan II / Texan T1If Airfix were really feeling especially generous the might additionally consider thinking about the following from my wish list:1/72Canberra B2HP Hastings C1/C2Bristol Belvedere HC1Westland Whirlwind HC10Westland Wessex HC2Avro LincolnTwin Pioneer1/48Martin BaltimoreWildcat HMA2 / AH1Apache AH1/2Whaddya think - in with a chance?

Kenneth ONeill Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Of those, not sure the Jaguar needs re-tooling rather than just reissuing in a "Vintage Classics" box.A retooled Hampden would more or less complete a range of RAF 1930s-WW2 light and medium bombers.I'd love some new Westland Whirlwinds, a "Twin Pin" (and indeed a Prestwick Pioneer too).

For example, add the Albion chassis for the refueller, with perhaps alternative GS body; Include a Commer Q tractor unit for the Queen Mary trailer; replace the Austin ambulance and crash tender with the Albion heavy ambulance and maybe a Ford WOT tender. I know. It’ll never happen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopres57 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I think the Renault 50 trucks were known as the RB 44 in British service, built by Reynolds Boughton. They didn't seem to be all that popular and weren't used for all that long. It would be good to have a 1/72 or 1/35 kit of one though, they came in a few different versions.

Kenneth ONeill Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Well yes, but I did a deep link of the web page under its own name. It's true that they weren't popular, but they were there (also TCVs, but normally they were used to move personnel rather than as tow vehicles for launchers and/or Blindfire.

It looks like its been given a new front bumper but no-one has bothered to put cammo paint on it - not unusual in my Army days. I assume the bumper is in the colour that the whole vehicle was in when it was new. Does anyone know what the exact shade is, and whether or not it was used widely throughout the Army in recent years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both available ready mixed from ayimat.I'd like to see a good gloss deep bronze green available as well, I've had a 1/76 Centurion on the shelf for a while awaiting completion. Just to mention again that it would be good to see the Cent and the Chieftain re-released. Even better would be a couple of new 1/72 kits, also a British ARV or AVRE is overdue from a mainstream manufacturer.As a new kit I would like to see a 1/72 (preferably) or 1/35 Bedford RL. I mentioned this about three or four years ago but there's still no luck. The vehicle itself came in a wide variety of versions and was used by many nations. As a kit I would have thought its an obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticky fingers Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The RL / S type seems an obvious choice and it remained a bit of a mystery as to why it had never appeared as a modern 1/72 or '00' offering that could be mated with various options. There is a die-cast RAF liveried model scheduled to be released in 1/76 scale for 2021/22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1707820714 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 How about a 1/72 or 1/48 Jaguar GR1. An important aircraft over 4 decades for the RAF and a void in the market to fill. Markings and accurate weapons load for Gulf War 1 and markings for 226 OCU with CBLS 3kg bombs. Future markings can include countless RAF Germany or Coltishall squadrons or the black cat 16 sqn display aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 It must be about time someone did a Tornado GR.4 in 1/72, there are many Tornado GR.1 but no GR.4 kits ( apart from one Airfix did from their GR.1, which wasn't that good).while I'm at it, why not make the moulds so that the original type bomber and the F.3 fighter can be made? Maybe even the F.2, no one's ever done that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
