What should be the relevant release in 1/32 scale, after Italeri's Macchi 202?

Ya know I got a feeling that GWH may just surprise us with a P-51B/C, they've already came out with an early P-40 , I know that probably doesn't account for much but they do play their cards close. 

We know they are working on a new LSP for some years. I think this will be another WW2 US fighter. Personally, I think this will be the Hellcat. However, P-51B, Wildcat or Lightning are also possible.

Anybody asking for a wish list?

Maybe a state-of-the-art kit of the Arado 234 B/C? Or a Ta 152 C? Or new-tooled and finally accurate out-of-the-box Bf 109 K-4 and Fw 190 D-11/-13?

I want a Schneider trophy racer!  Italian model company, historically relevant Italian aircraft.

Trophy, was cup. Cup not elaborate enough.

Yes, definitely one of those, and Porco Rosso's seaplane too. 

 

Or any Cold War jet, whether a derivative of an existing kit (Mirage IIIB/D, Tornado ADV) or something new and not so big that's desperately overdue (F-84F, RF-84F, Gina)

I agree with @Tony T.  A 1/32 Fiat G.91 Gina is definitely Italeri territory

I think the initial question should have been which LSP release do the bean counters think will make the most money. Our wishes and dreams unfortunately do not count that much.

I'll second that emotion, the Gina AND the F-84F/RF-84. Interesting that no one has gone after the Gina as it's been used by several different countries, a cool little jet.

Logical, but can I pick you up on one thing?  It's the Schneider Trophy, I think it's somewhat more elaborate than a cup.  I'm sure someone's seen it, no doubt we've still got it somewhere... 

Oh and yes to a kit of any participant, but I think that's probably a long shot.

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned the Blackburn Skua or Fairey Barracuda. 

Shocking in some respects ,in that no one here has mentioned them , but not shocking that no mainstream company has produced them , maybe a little too esoteric. The average "joe 6pack"wouldn't know a Skua from a Mack truck, We know because we're into things like that, would it be cool to have them? yes! Would I get one? Maybe. I got a feeling that that is the reason no one has come out with an AD-5 fat face. The average shmo is used to seeing Skyraiders as single seaters , throw a Fat Face in there and it's "TILT". I think this  is one of the things the main stream companies look at ,they have to, they're in it to make money  So I get it to a point. We are seeing a" branching out" now to different types .

Rest assured. You’re not the only one who knows what a Fat Face is.

Oh I know , but I talk with the "casual" modelers and they generally aren't quite as up to speed as WE are[ they're the ones I was speaking about]
