[MikeC]

How about a  Heinkel He 46?

I’d really like to see the Lavochkin La-5, La-7 as well as the LaGG 3 come to life.  I agree the ICM aircraft are well engineered and are a joy to work on.

I would agree with much of what has been written, especially in the pre WW2 side of things (more grist to my personal love of the Spanish Civil War), but how about adding some early 1950’s stuff as well. So, here goes:

 

1).  Westland Wapiti

2).  Westland Wyvern (pretty, pretty please)

3).  English Electric Canberra (preferably the ‘fighter canopy’ variants)

 

Should any of those emerge before I hit my dotage I will spring off this mortal coil a very happy teddy bear.

Combining FAA and interesting is an Oxymoron.  Sorry mate.

All a matter of opinion mate - each to their own.

Lukgraph are working on a resin Wapiti and Infinity are doing the IM Wyvern.

I think the Lukgraph Wapiti is due to be with us by the end of the year.

[Redcap1960]

In which case happy, happy days. Just hope it arrives sooner rather than later. To many unfulfilled promises from other manufacturers in the past, but don’t want to jinx it.

Unfortunately, my attempts at working with resin, rather than IM have proved somewhat disastrous in the last. My bad for not explaining myself, but I was after one in IM rather than resin, although given Lukgraph’s very high quality of production I have no doubt it will be an excellent kit.

Interesting to note the ICM wish list has replaced the Tamiya thread. Seems to hold more promise for any new kit.

 

My wish, why not:

 

Hawker Fury, and also Hind family: lots of variants and interesting schemes!

MiG-15 and 17: we need new kits of these for sure.

I think an He 51, Mitsubishi Pete are in their wheelhouse. A Grumman Duck, as much as I'd like to see one, is not. An He 70... maybe, but not many made. Some US mail service types maybe.

   It remains to be seen if they will expand out of essentially the 1930s.

I guess if were talking more likely subjects in the ICM wheelhouse, I'd love to see ICM put out a PE-2 as their first 2 engined LSP. Not that I think it's likely ICM would put out a large 2 engined LSP, but its plausible

How large of a business concern is ICM?  Large, small, micro?

[MikeC]

I'm not sure how large they are, but they've come a long way in terms of quality since the first 1/48 Spitfire IX.  And here's a thought: they have all three major Luftwaffe twin bombers (Do 17/215, Ju 88 and He 111) in their 1/48 range, so perhaps there's some ready-made research they can put into 1/32 versions?  I'd be particularly interested, of course, if they'd scale up the Do 215 recce version and the Ju 88D.

I think it'll be a natural 'growing up' process for them to do larger subjects in time.

Kittyhawk are venturing out into this area now the smaller ones are being done.

I'd say it's all about confidence in the subject. This one I think is bound to do well if it's ever done by someone.

It certainly gets my vote alongside the Tu-2 also.  Fingers crossed!
