nmayhew Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wonder to extent it’s even possible to bring their old kits up to today’s standards? for a new tool kit, I think anything German like a 109 (E, F or G series), 190 (again anything) or 262 which would be epic...and if a Brit subject then go for the Spitfire Vb - served in lots of theatres with myriad schemes A Hawk would be commercial insanity in my view, as would be a Gladiator (I would buy them but can’t see anyone outside of UK doing so) Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUROK Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'd like a 1/24 early P-40/B/C. It wouldn't be too hard to also do a P-36/Hawk-75 using same wing and firewall back parts. Alain Gadbois and RNoAF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adameliclem Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Per previous comments, I think a single-engine aircraft is more likely than another twin, and a Corsair would make a lot of sense. Used by multiple nations in the Allied Forces (and after WW2) , and they've already taken a stab at an R-2800 engine. Then again, the Thunderbolt carried the same engine, and was also used by multiple nations in the Allied Forces (and after WW2).I agree that another Hellcat variant is most likely in the short term. Personally, I like the idea of Airfix revisiting something previously kitted and bringing it up to current standards. An FW 190A-8 would be welcome. I'll get my coat.

I'll vote for that! JerseyChris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rob Colvin said: 24th Sabre Jet. Not that we have any influence with Airfix, but I like that idea too. Not a very large aircraft, iconic with classic lines. It was used by the RAF, so there's the UK connection, the USAF, and dozens of other air forces so lots of colourful schemes. Of course the RCAF aircraft were the best looking. Richard PS: I know many will roll their eyes, but I would still like a 1/24 Mustang IV (P-51D/K) done to the new Airfix standard.

Lothar Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) I'd love a Fairey Firefly, I love the design of this aircraft, even though paint schemes and markings are limited. But it would make a great dispaly on any show table. Lothar Edited August 21, 2019 by Lothar R Palimaka and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite truthfully i can't get a Trumpy one for a decent price so god only knows what the price of a 1/24 would be lol. But as for space..... i'm working on that GusM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger16 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 How about a late version F4F wildcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The likes of the P47 is already out there so why would they produce a kit where they have competition, surely market sIzes need to be a consideration, I am surprised the Tiff did so well in the USA as its not exactly a well known type over there... Mk14 Spit would be my choice as there are no large Griffon Spits about and they are sadly lacking in any scale.. But for the US market perhaps an A1 SkyraIder, though the thought of a Grumman Duck would tickle my fancy. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
