I'm going to be really pragmatic. My favourite Airfix kit is the 1/72 hurricane XII which comes in the club kit operation torch double with a swordfish. That gives the option of a sea hurricane or land version with 8x or 12x .303 OR a 4x 20mm wing (2 different wings in one kit). Also TWO tropical filters because that's on each wing sprue. With that kit and your parts box you can do so many later war hurricanes it's not true.... That kit should be reissued on general release.

also do the same with the 1/72 Spit Va kit and include a type C wing and a tropical filter. Rather than being a cynical reboxing of the Spit IIa kit this would let you do Malta spits, Soviet spits, New Guinea RAAF spits... All for 5-7 extra parts that Airfix were making previously. If they're really generous toss in 2x 250lb bombs.

I've just finished "another manufacturer" hellcat. A mini version of the new 1 /24 would make sense and complement the zero and wildcat too. All of these would be relatively cheap.

If a larger more complex kit is on the horizon id love a B24 of a type that could be adapted to coastal command or USAAF of the same standard as the new tool B17 or Lancaster. 

A B25 G (with possible gun ship variant) would be nice too. The current D kit hints at the possibility Airfix have thought about side gunners but it'll need a new fuselage sprue to pull off.
