In 1/24th Scale I'd like a new tool Spitfire Mk 1, the origional was good for it's time, but it's not upto modern standards.

A 1/24th Mosquito Mk 4 Bomber would be very welcome.

A 1/48th Bristol Blenheim Mk4 Bomber

Any possibility of re issuing the old Multipose Africa Korps and 8th Army?

In 1/72nd scale, my personal interest is Mediterranean campaign, so I'd like ;-

Gloster Sea Gladiator (There are very few kits of this aircraft in this scale,and all are rare and have faults)

Hawker Hurricane Mk 1 with an Akbour filter

Hawker Hurricane Mk 2 d

Bf 109 f2/4

An accurate Bf 109 G6

New tool Fiat G50

A Macchi 200 (the only other option here is a very old Revell kit)

Indeed any WW2 Italian aircraft, just because they're cool!

Bristol Beaufighter Mk 1 (also useful for the Battle of Britain)

Bristol Beaufort Mk 1/2  (only options being the old Frog and Azur kits)

A new tool Spitfire Mk5 b/c

I know, I'm probably fantasizing, but with some of these kits, the Gladiator and the Beaufort for example there are no real alternatives and I think that they would be commercially successful.

1/72   

Westland Lysander would be nice. Only options currently dated need work to put right, detail lacking.

but mainly  some new helicopters: Whirlwind, Wessex, Dragonfly, Wasp, Chinook.

New WWII pilot + ground crew figures -  (got to have better proportions than the last figure release). Look at the Preiser/Revell ones that are now impossible to find as a starting point.. 

1/76

Tanks: a new Centurion + Tiger / Panther / Sherman / Crusader all could be re-done (all with decent tracks, link and length preferably but if have to be vinyl cheaper end still at least th  like the 'recent' King tiger, not the horrible  flash-covered dark grey rubber bands! and something less prone to rotting). The old Churchill / or the Panzer IV aren't bad but still deserve much better tracks.

Could go on for something new - a Valentine, or some interesting Italian tanks,..

Some decent 1/76 tank crew figures / riders. USA, Russia, GB. All Hat's tank riders are pretty crude (look at the sprue shots on Plastic Soldier Review). Millicast 1/76 resin figures have wonderful detail but expensive (worth it) so something in between i.e polythene figures or the nice plastic that Caeser use with decent sculpting would be nice.

Westland Whirlwind 1/72 scale fighter/bomber. I know that Special Hobbies do one as does Pavla, but they're incredibly expensive and I gather from a friend who built the Airfix one (Starter set A50096) that it was a really well produced kit and all the parts fitted, unlike the SH version which was apparently a nightmare. I'm trying to build all the RAF aircraft that were flown from RAF Warmwell during WW2, so the Whirlwind - as flown by 263 Squadron (Code HE- ) in 1942 and again in 1943 would be a great addition.
