1/48th Westland Scout DHC Beaver Bell 47G (Sioux) Auster AOP 9 1/35 Any series of British Softskins/Trucks OO/HO Re-Issue of Play sets: Zoo, Fort Sahara, Sherriff of Nottingham's Castle etcD

1/48 Westland Scout, 1/48 DHC Beaver Judging 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

There are some great subjects, some of which Airfix have done in days gone by in 1/72 scale, that would be very well received as new tools in 1/48 scale. I think Airfix would be on a winner with a 1/48 Fairey Battle, 1/48 Westland Scout, 1/48 DHC Beaver. And how about a 1/48 Auster AOP 9? The only game that was ever in town was the now almost impossible to come by Hallam-vac vacformed model and a 1/72 Armstrong Whitworth Argosy, Blackburn Beverley and 1/48 Saunders Roe Skeeter. As you can see I am biased towards the 1950s/60s stuff in British RAF/Army use but these aircraft were part of our aviation heritage and, in the case of the Westland Scout, the last helicopter ever built using all British components. I can only dream, I suppose.
