Would like to see a retooling of the 1/72 scale Airco DH4. I am finishing one now and it was a very good kit when it was released in the 1960s. A new kit could incorporate the several different types of powerplants as well as the two types of landing gear and firepower variations. One could also incorporate an Airco DH9 by developing a fuselage and engine or having Blue Rider reproduce their DH9 fuselage/engine again. Both aircraft were produced in the thousands and many were used post WW1. The only other 1/72 DH4 available is the limited run Pegasus kit which is hard to get. No DH9 kit exists that I know of. A wide variation of decals could be made available to match the different engines and promoted in one kit so that the modeler could have many build options. The DH9 could be promoted as a separate kit. Also consider revamping the Sopwith Pup. The only other one available is by HR model and is out of production. Finally as a new product consider developing a Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b/d. 1900 of these were produced during WW1 and yet no model exists. All of these are well known WW1 British aircraft. The BE2c that Airfix developed is a great model. There is little to no market competition for these projects at this time.
