CharlesMetz Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've said it before, but I'll say it again: We need a 1/32-scale Fairey Barracuda, the only airplane that camouflages itself by mimicking a crash victim: [credit: An excellent 1/48-scale build by Rafi Ben-Shahar at IPMS/Stockholm ] Charles Metz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've said it before, but I'll say it again: We need a 1/32-scale Fairey Barracuda, the only airplane that camouflages itself by mimicking a crash victim: Charles Metz Never an aircraft that would win any major beauty contests, but it does 'squish up' rather neatly I think! As much as I like this plane I think if I had a choice between this and a Fairey Firefly as a next new kit subject the old 'Cuda would lose everytime I'm afraid. You might have a rather long wait for this one I fear, but who knows? Still, as they say, stranger things have happened at sea!!!! Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didiumus Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 For me, I would like the following in 1/32 scale: Grumman F6F Hellcat (I know we have kits but I want a nice one) Bell P-63A KingCobra P-61 Black Widow Hawker Typhoon Hawker Tempest Westland Whirlwind Fiat CR.42 Messerschmidt ME163 Komet Scott Gentry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royboy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 My wish list is sooooooo long you wouldn't believe, but my top five for here are these: 1/ Lockheed F94C 2/ Fairey Gannet (All marks) 3/ Gloster Javelin 4/ Gloster Meteor (All marks) 5/ Blackburn Buccaneer S2 There are tons of others but these I think could be really good sellers.

B - Man, that thing looks like its standing still and moving 500 knots at the exact same time C - Put the F-111 on my list as well I lived in Germany when I was but a wee lad...................Right near Ramstein afb. Out of all the memories I have watching the 4 and 5 ship F-111 formations use the church steeple right near where I was staying to line up for landings every weekend, was the one that stands out by leaps and bounds Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Metz Thanks Charles. Forgot about those. I had read about them a while back but to be honest I was thinking more Hasegawa state of the art. Those look ok but a bit crude. I'd love one in 1/24th too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
