Mark-372935 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 How about the Antoine De St Exupery range!He wrote the greatest ever books about flight and you can, if you try really, hard, gather enough of the aircraft he flew and crashed through Wind, Sand & Stars. Trained on a Sopwith Tripehound. Experimented and crashed in a Latécoère 25 seaplane. Flew for La Ligne the Breguet XIV. Crashed his Caudron C.630 Simoun F-ANRY into the pristine desert sands. Began WW2 flying the Potez 637 and the Bloch 174 reconnaissance aircraft. Ended his life in the souped up Lockheed F-5B-1-LO.Some of these Heller made years ago, one is in resin but what a poetic undertaking to bring them all together for aviation's greatest writer.

Peter-373791 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 HMS Exeter in Pacific configuration in 1/600 scale to commemorate the tragic sinking and the disgrace of the wreck salvage.HMS glorious aircraft carrier with gladiators and hurricanes in 1/600 configuration when sunk off norway , would fill in a gap of British carriers being one of the first, no doubt one of the 2 current ones is A likely option as wellA class destroyer 1/600 with options of HMS Acasta or HMS Ardent to complement Glorious above and historically fit against Scharnhorst / Gneisenau relaunch1/72 Whitley mk5 in colours of Special Duties 138 squadron with drop canister load, as used to help French resistance, this would compliment Lysander model and commemorate brave pilots of the "moon squadrons"One can always hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorman Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 It all depends on what you want out of model making. If things continue as they are going manufacturers will soon be putting completed builds into the boxes....The whole fun of building a model is building something that is "personal." I still get a kick out of building the vintage classics where you have to scratchbuild all the details......... but that's me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter-373791 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I agree with sailormans comment about the satisfaction of scratchbuilding, I have partially scratchbuilt hms Glorious on an airfix hms repulse hull and am quite pleased with it...but I plan to make another one only better.

I still get a kick out of building the vintage classics where you have to scratchbuild all the details......... but that's me! Talking about manufacturers making things easier these days, I always think about some of the early kits from sixty years ago. An old favourite of mine from my younger days was the Frog F86 Sabre. It had a grand total of 14 plastic kit parts, plus a lead weight for the nose and a two part stand, I still have an original in my stash. I think there were several kits like that back in the day. Needless to say you didn't have to be an IPMS champion to put them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spfparker Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Sure Airfix would get good mileage out of a 1/24 BAE Hawk - Just thinks of the schames - (not just red) weapons configs etc and it would be reasonably small... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat_Ern Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Aside from my usual Leyland Hippo and a Vickers Warwick I would add a 1/35 Valentine (British and Russian marking schemes), a British Duplex Drive version would be a cracker.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpodski Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Be great to see Airfix producing bigger scale kits of those they've already released in smaller scales. To compete with other companies that haven't released similar. Airfix are outstanding at present. And some re-releases but with new tooling and decals options would be fantastic.1:72Blackburn BeverlyA.W ArgosyAvro YorkAvro Manchester1/35thBedford RLBedford 4 Tonner1 Ton Landrover1/48thPuma HC2GazelleWestland Wasp/ScoutFairey BattleFairey SeafoxSupermarine S6Westland Whirlwind (Helo)Bristol Bulldog1:24thSpitfire MKXIV/XIXHawker TempestFairey SwordfishBolton Paul DefiantHawk T.1Harrier GR.7/9Retools1:72 Jetstream (With RAF/RN Decals & revised engines)1:72 Dehavilland Dove/Heron (With RAF/RN decals)1:48 Hawker Fury (Biplane) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
