Mark B. Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Maybe the Grumman F9F-2 Panther, Grumman F9F-8 Cougar and the Grumman F-11 Tiger. Then you could do all the AC flown by the Blue Angels.... Just saying... coogrfan and LSP_K2 2

BoxArtFan1961TBunch Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Hi Guys, When asked what a/c I'd most like to see made available in 1/32 scale, I immediately think of the HAWKER HURRICANE. I could not make myself stop at one subject only. After all, we are then thinking of a dividing line between propeller driven and turbine driven a/c. But wait a minute Ginsu Fans, there's more! How about single engine a/c and multi-engine a/c? How about an a/c with both piston engine(s) AND turbine engine(s) ? I think i'll stick to the subject matter and shy away from trying to say something humorous or witty. The harder I try, the worse I do. Here's something I just though of. I'm sitting on the edge of my couch using my laptop sitting atop a small end table. My wife and one of our cats are quietly watching an Abbott and Costello movie marathon on TCM. Yes, my cat watches TV. NEXT: I could not help but start off by saying, "Thanks", to some of the kit makers for bringing certain a/c kits to us that we had long awaited; all the while filled with hopes and dreams. NOTE: I'll stick to injection molded styrene kits. Otherwise, I'd be obliged to thank HPH for creating the F7F-3 in the Mixed Media arena. THANKS HPH! POLYSTYRENE: I wish to thank KITTY HAWK for producing the P-39 Airacobra. This is one a/c that I had hoped to see long ago. It is a good thing that I did not hold my breath. I wish to thank both ZOUKEI MURA and TRUMPETER for producing the Douglas Skyraider in 1/32 scale. Now, this is cool! I digress. Sorry! DREAM BIG! I am really hoping that HK MODELS, ( it seems the most likely ), are at least CONSIDERING to produce the B-29 Super Fortress in 1/32 scale. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just don't care that the B-29 in 1/32 scale will have a wingspan of four and a half feet! I should tell you guys that my other love affair is with 1/96 scale, radio controlled ships and submarines. I have a 1/96 scale Charles F Adams class DDG that measures to 56.5". How about the Convair B-58 Hustler? I don't know that I would need four complete J-79 engines, but maybe a single engine to "show off", with optional placement. Now here is where I could get lost in fantasy; thinking about quite a few Cold War jet aircraft to be seen in 1/32 scale. I'm thinking of the F-101 Voodoo, the F-102 Delta Dart, the F-106 Delta Dagger. Uh oh, here goes . . . how about the B-47 Stratojet? OH MY! HERE'S ONE: The HOBBY BOSS 1/32 Douglas A-26 Invader. I bought one. Yes I did. When I did my own personal critique on this kit, I never made it past the engines. Before I pulled the trigger, I studied the online images of the sprues. I could not believe my eyes. And. . . . . I still bought one! It's been a long while since I posted on any message boards. My last post being at warshipmodelsunderway, and that was in 2015. It's nice to be here, and I've been building 1/32 a/c since I was about eight years old. Six weeks ago, I became a 60 year old. So, I've built quite a few REVELL models. I sure did love those old models. That, and I'm a box art fanatic. Faithfully submitted, Philip A, "Tony" Bunch "You guys make this hobby fun !" LSP_K2 1

Tony T Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 Ten years ago, I wrote: WWII RAF / FAA Bristol Beaufighter VI.f DeHavilland Mosquito Avro Lancaster BI/III Post-WWII USAF / USN Grumman A-6 Intruder Grumman EA-6B Prowler General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo Convair/General Dynamics F-106 Delta Dart Lockheed SR-71A Lockheed TR-1A/U-2R or S Post-WWII RAF / Royal Navy McDonnell Douglas FG.1/FGR.2 Phantom II Blackburn/Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2 Sepecat Jaguar GR.1A + T.2 BAe Sea Harrier E E Canberra PR.9 and T.17 Post-WWII Russia Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25RB/P Foxbat Post-WWII Canada / Europe Dassault-Breguet Mirage III/V Dassault-Breguet Mirage F.1CR Dassault-Breguet Étendard/SuE Lockheed TF-104G twin-seat Starfighter Saab J.35 Draken 5 have since appeared.

Cheers Alan I anxiously awaited both the Hs 129 and Ki-45 kits, and have bought neither, and may never do so. I expect the Me 210/410 would be the same for me, as was the gigantic B-17 Smokey 1
alaninaustria Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Still waiting for a SAAB 1/32Drakken - which accord8ng to JetMADS is a future release! Also, still interested in seeing a 1/32 Me-410! That’s about it for me! Nirvana achieved! Cheers Alan

Apart from some teasing from, nothing. A JetMADS Draken would appeal, but if a styrene kit was produced in 1/32nd I'd buy three to start with, then every boxing that ensued. Such a sexy looking jet. I cannot understand why this has eluded kit treatment (or why Revell never released the twin-seat Hunter they are alleged to have tooled). Tony
alaninaustria Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Hey Tony, I agree - an injection molded kit of the Draken would be awesome! But, I’ll take a well tooled and engineered resin kit too! Cheers Alan

Smokeyforgothispassword Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 I’d love the following in 1/32; Westland Lysander Bristol Beaufighter (preferably a Mk 21) GD F-111 C Pilatus PC 6 Pilatus PC 12 Pilatus PC 21 Pilatus PC 24 (it’s not an obsession, just a love of Pilatus’s products) CAC CA 15 a Tweet, trainer or attack version, either will do Ryan STM Beech Staggerwing Waco YMF5
