Wishlist for 2022

[Ratch]

A V-Bomber re-supply set would be great, with a Sentinel Blue Steel carrier, a GPU and a Sentinel Tugmaster with towbar.

Wasn't it an AEC Mandator MKV half-cab truck that carried 'Blue Steel'?

[Ratch]

Could be...

[chris_dorrington]

Ummm, where to start,

1/72nd Canberra B.2 or B.6

1/72nd Avro Lincoln

1/72nd Argosy (replace the Mach 2 kit)

1/72nd Blackburn Beverley - think of the size of the box and box art.

1/48th Supermarine Scimitar

1/48th Fairey Gannet AEW3

1/48th Blackburn Buccaneer S.1 and S.2

1/48th Gloster Meteor NF.11

1/48th Sea Venom & Venom

1/48th Hawker Hunter T.7 or T.8

Thats enough to bankrupt me for now.

[stokefan24]

How about a Beaufort in 1/32 and some WW1 aircraft in 1/32

[Kenneth ONeill]

1/72 Handley Page Hampden, as being the only WW2 period RAF medium bomber to not have a new(ish) tool.

V-bomber resupply set(s); split it a bit and you can get separate bomb trains for physics packages, 1_000lb bombs and Blue Steel, an aircraft tug, a bowser and a crew bus. Some of them will work for a whiff of a TSR2 in squadron markings as well.

[Hailshamlad]

It seems that Airfix is not issuing anything in the current or future list of RAF aircraft.

eg F-35 or Poseidon

But there are also some of our Allies aircraft which are not being covered.

eg Rafale or AMX

There are not many or any other makers of these kits, so there is a gap that could be filled by Airfix.

All in 1:72 please

 

[Robert-821063]

1/48 Gloster Gladiator accurate Malta option.

[Kenneth ONeill]

1/48 Gloster Gladiator accurate Malta option.

Faith, Hope and Charity were Sea Gladiators in period normal Mediterranean camouflage; The 4th one (B100dyator) was field modified and never properly documented that I know of.

[edward_langley]

I'm really struggling to get hold of a decent Canberra B2. S & M do one but they're like hens teeth. So can we please have a new tool of the Canberra B2 PLEASE!

[Ratch]

Canberra B2 in 1/72 is a good shout.

[ian_rutland]

1/48th Dragon Rapide. So many schemes for this beautiful aircraft.

1/48th Austin Tilly van. Widely used vehicle.

All very solid suggestions in my books.

[theplasticsurgeon]

Well thanks for asking Ratch.

My suggestion a 1/72 Andover. A subject that has never appeared as a mainstream model, and for which there is a subject aircraft to scan at Cosford.

 

[Refusenik]

Brunel's Great Western.

The HM Coastguard Sikorsky.

Regional Air Ambulances (I would choose Cornwall or London)

[Dad Paul B]

I still need an Anson XIX in 1/72nd (British European Airlines for preference)

Other than that some more 1/72nd WW2 vehicles for wargaming

[dogsbody]

1/72 Blackburn Shark with alternate part to build an RCAF Shark III.

1/72 Handley-Page Halifax B.III. Please! We need something better than Revell's junk!

1/72 Handley-Page Hampden with alternate parts for the TB version.

Decent paint.

[twinpin]

Westland Whirlwind helicopter and 1/48 scale

North American F100D Super Sabre

[Heather Kavanagh]

I'll add my voice for 1/72nd Avro Manchester, plus new tool HP Hampden and Fairey Battle.

Did I mention the Fairey Battle? I'd like a new tool Fairey Battle, please.

Those three would happily complete my selfish 1940 Bomber Command fleet, and would fill some serious gaps in the market. Airfix would also have the full set of late 1930s RAF light and medium bombers.

PS: A Fairey Battle would be lovely. smile

[Pretty Mediocre Modeller]

 

 

I agree with all Heather's choices, especially the Avro Manchester, which has never had a mainstream tooling. Could I also request an Avro Lincoln, and York, which have also never been tooled?

I'd love both of these, with Coastal Command colours, I've been on a mission gathering kits to re-create the aircraft my grandfather flew during the war and these two are the top of the list and have so far been the hardest to find at reasonable prices.
