    Easy answer - P-38, especially an early one. That has been a GAPING hole in the 1:32 world for as long as I've been building models (50+ years). We are talking about the plane that shot down Yamamoto, and was flown by the two highest scoring American aces of WW2. The L-5 kit that Trumpeter/Hobbycraft first came out with in 1991 was welcome, but you have to have a conversion to make it an early one, and right now I'm the only one working on putting one of those cpnversions back out there (I own the rights to the Rutman/GMF one). Plus, the quality of the L-5 Trumpeter kit is not even close to your level. You guys are putting out some of the best stuff the industry has ever seen.
     
    I'd say P-51B/C as well, but chances are you'd be competing with a couple of other manufacturers who have announced plans to do that. However, you actually DO get things done, so maybe you'd beat them to the punch! I seriously think whoever puts that out first will sell as many as they can make. 
     
    Those are the top 2 holes I see - there are others, but I don't want this question to turn into a wish list! I totally understand your desire to make Spitfires and 109s, as they are classics and always sell well. I love them, too. Plus, as I said, your quality is second to none, and I applaud your efforts wholeheartedly! Please do keep it up.
     
    I am kind of an odd duck in the model building world, so I'm admittedly hard to please. I have a small stash (maybe 30-35 kits), narrow interests (1:32 only), and a very limited amount of money to spend on this hobby. So, I usually don't build more than one or two kits of a given airframe. I've done Spits and 109s, because there are some very good offerings out there already, so it's difficult for me to justify spending the money on another one that will just sit on a shelf, even though I want to support your efforts. 
     
    If either of those two - P-38E/F/G/H (or a better rendition of a late variant) or P-51B/C were to come out in 1:32 at any price, especially at your level of quality, my money would fly outta my wallet so fast, it would make your head spin!! Even if I had to walk to work for a month to save enough to afford it. 
     
    Again, please keep up the great work, even if it's not what I personally am looking for. Your quality is amazing, and I truly want your venture to be successful. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
