airscale's next kit - Your vote please

[airscale]

With the 1/32 Boulton Paul Defiant heading for production and a Spring release, it is time to start thinking about what is next. I have two subjects that I think would be popular, but of course will listen to options (sorry, no Jets yet ) please choose one, or drop a comment with what you would like to see

No promises, but if the Defiant sells, I definitely want to bring more 'MIA' aircraft to 1/32

 

Thanks in advance

Peter

Voted….Typhoon obviously! The Henschel 126 is an interesting and neglected, some say under-rated aeroplane but can’t compete in any way with the brute force of the Tiffy. I’m not prejudiced at all of course!  It will be fun to watch how this develops….and thank you Peter for the vox pop.

Hi Peter

 

Interesting proposals but I’d prefer an Avro Anson please. 
 

Kind regards, 

Paul

I have a firm conviction that Kotare will do both a Typhoon and Tempest. If Peter is only looking at single engine types (and I can’t have an Anson 😭) then I’ll vote for the Hs-126. 
 

Kind regards,

Would you ever consider upscaling the Defiant to 1/24?

Here's one I would like to see as a 1/32 kit:

 

Focke-Wulf Fw190C V18 'Känguruh'

[Kagemusha]

I voted for the Hs 126, Special Hobby have a Car Door Typhoon listed at Hannants, though no photos of any developed kit have ever been released, it would be a shame to spend time, effort, and money developing a kit, which is usurped by an IM release, which has happened countless times with Silver Wings, and HpH with their Ar 196.

Fairey 111F please

 

With floats!

And how long has it been listed there Andy?

What a beautiful aircraft. I’d buy that in a heartbeat.

I've been hoping ICM would upscale their 1/48 Scale Henschel so that's where my vote went.

I know, but the Yak 3 was listed for longer, did eventually see light of day, it's a tough call.

[scvrobeson]

A Henschel would be fantastic, had to vote for that one

This is a worry for sure, I guess all manufacturers have this problem when choosing subjects, so while my turnaround may be months, not years, I don't want to be in a bad place with it.. the same may apply for the HS126 for all I know too - maybe ICM? That said, I am determined not to not do something because someone else might

a twin might be a bit ambitious right now, but at some point who knows

Yes, when the production run is done and I don't need the machines running 24/7 - by commission only I would

 

interesting aeroplanes for sure... one brute force, sleek and pretty straightforward..

 

 

..the other, surprisingly large, intricate, unusual and probably bloody hard to kit with all that bobbins going on ...
