1:48 westland Scout / Wasp helicopter, ( two kits out of one / simular moulds ), 1:48 Gazelle helicopter, Well used aircraft and not really covered by any manufacture, Fujimi made kits but they were under scale and not detailed.

You guys could make such a good job of these and i'm sure they would sell.

Also new tool Buccaneer, come on guys, if you want Airfix to become rich quick. Make this as a new tool !!!!!! Would sell in the masses :0)

5. IA 58A Pucara

The list above look very like the 2018 wish lists but I would second and third the call for a new 1/72 Ju 88, but please try the C series or the BMW engined night fighters, as the A series seem to be a dime-a-dozen with every Tom-Dick-&-Harry and their cousins doing it almost to the exclusion of other marks.

 

Basically any 1938 to 45 german aircraft would sell, after all how many Bf 109E does

I definitely think there would be a demand for the scout/wasp. Airfix has produced a scout with numerous re-boxings (about five) over the years, however I think only one manufacturer has ever produced the wasp, which was Fujimi. Also, this moulding is more of a 1/50 scale than 1/48, and is out of production. There are several conversion kits floating around though, to convert the scout to a wasp.

I would like to see a DeHavilland Venom FB4 or FB5 in either 1/72 or 1/48 scale, as there has not been a kit readily available since the old frog series of 1950s jet fighters, there would be much scope in markings....... Venuzuela , Chilli, Iraq, Switzerland  RAF Suez campaigne and of course the other squadrons such as 28 serving in Hong Kong. Would not like to go as far as to say it would be a money spinner, but you never know.

BSA C15

James Bond Aston Martin  DB5

SR N1 Hovercraft

Black Prince and any others of that series of historical figures

All ones I made as a kid and stupidly broke or lost over the years.  Any one of the above and I would be so so happy.

How about the YB-70 instead? There is an XB-70 kit, and there are significant differences in appearance between the 2 airframes.

Either would be great tbh.

I've seen the Italeri kit around a few times, sometimes extortionately priced, sometimes not, but have never really been tempted by it. An Airfix offering would be wonderful, but I don't think it's quite in keeping with their current range.

Well, when I bought my XB-70 it was priced lower than the present price of the Airfix Victor(s), and it's bigger (display area used) than a Victor or Vulcan (I have an unbuilt Valiant).

I would like a lot of the kits being released in 1/72 to come out in 1/48. EG, New tooling Buccaneer, Mitchell, etc. Completely new Hampden, Whitley, Beaufort, etc etc the list could go on and on. And going up to four-engined, , Shackletons, (Revell has beaten you to a new MR3 in 1/72), Halifax, Stirling, and one I'm sure would sell really well, the PB4Y-2 Privateer. You are blowing the trumpet a lot for the 1/24 Hellcat, how about doing the same in 1/48 scale?

I am a new member and I would like to see a 1:32 or 1:24 scale Westland Lysander.  My partner got me a matchbox 1:72 Lysander from eBay but the person never said they had part built & broken a part or two.  After I carried out repairs and completed the kit, I  wanted a 1:32 scale version but they hard to come by now.  I think there is a market for the Lysander and a 1:32 or 1:24 would be top of the bill.
