T2B Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I have only just found this thread but don't think even in December 2019 it was too soon to start the Wishlist thread. In reality the product planners will already have started on the projected new tool releases for 2020, possibly as much as 18 months ago? Anyway onto the wish list, lots of good shouts in the previous posts but my personal favourites would all be in 1:72nd scale .......... Avro Anson Fairey BattleHandley Page Hampden and Bristol BeaufortOf course I would happily accept an Avro Vulcan but I don't expect that yet as until recently the old tool was still in the product line up!!

AFspook Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Would like to see 1/72 Wasp/Scout and Gazelle helicopters. New tool, please, the old ones just not worth a re-release. And fit them out so they could be Falklands War, ie. door guns, missiles,etc. A Puma would be nice (although still haven't built my original one) as well as a HC 4 Sea King from Falklands era....early rotor blades, removal of port side airflow strake, 'plain' nose, etc. And put the mesh grates on front of the main rotor housing. Even the 1968 kit had them! Re release of FRS 1 in 1/72.And it would be nice for some decent crew figures especially for the helicopters. I'd buy them if sold separately, like with ground support or even carrier based support equipment. I hate empty aircraft, especially helicopters.

lee_smith1 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'd love to see not only a new 1/72nd shorts sky van/ USAF C23 sherpa, which I saw for the first time at BAe Hatfield doing airfield calibration flight tests, also a new 1/72nd DH Mosquito,and finally a Bristol Beaufort to go with the new Blenheim and Beaufighter.

So let’s call it an updated AD Skyraider.I think we're all in agreement about wanting an early USN version?I've not found any more detail on the Gabonese AF machines than that they existed, and have very petty national markings.

LeonF Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 A proper 1/72 Me262B-1a & CS-92 Trainer as you can't make them from the current B-1a/u1 2 seater box. Pity Airfix got it wrong as the NF version looks very nice. Maybe next year? Maybe also tweak the single seater with marked cutting lines and alternative noses for reconnaissance, big gun, and 6 cannon versions...although I'm thinking the glass nosed versions might be a cut too far and need a while sprue.

LeonF Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Aichi D3A1 Val 1/72Westland Lysander Mk III SCW 1/72 Hear hear !I've been waiting for a new D3A since the Pearl Harbor anniversary that bought the Zero, Kate and P-40B...so only a few years overdue (we didn't even get the old mould).How about a couple more Japanese types? Doesn't have to be rare or exotic just some of the more recognisable types such as the Ki-43, Ki-44, A6M5c, A6M2-N. Alongside a new Lysander you can also add its German equivalent Hs126, both Airfix oldies that are long overdue retools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanyiko Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 2020 will be the 80th anniversary of the 'serious' war (as opposed to the 'Silly' war), so I would like to propose some appropriate releases: - 1/72 Fairey Battle (correct new mold instead of a rebox of the inaccurate vintage one)- 1/72 Blackburn Skua and/or Roc- 1/72 Gloster Sea Gladiator I/II- 1/72 Westland Lysander- 1/72 Henschell Hs 126 (rebox)- 1/72 'early' Messerschmitt Bf 109E (E-1 to E-3)- 1/72 Curtiss H-75 Hawk A modern Aichi D3A1 would be welcome, but 2021 seems a more appropriate date for that particular one (80 years since Pearl Harbor - with a P-36 Hawk derived from the above-mentioned 2020 H-75 kit...? 😉 ) Not wanting to skip out on some more 'modern' British Classics, I certainly would like to put forward the De Havilland DH.103 Hornet and De Havilland DH.112 Venom, and perhaps some scaled-down versions of the Gloster Meteor and Hawker Hunter toolings...

Dark Earth Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Here are a few that I think would be very popular . . . I'd buy them !Any variants of the 1/72 SBD Dauntless and 1/72 P-38 Lightning. Even a re-pop of the old Dauntless would be nice.Sure - there is tooling out there - but neither Hasegawa nor Academy seem to have produced any in years.I would also like to see a full set of 1/72 bomber crew figures for the B-17's or the Lanc's that have come out in the last few years. Kinda surprised no one has done that - even in aftermarket.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
