Valued members & brain cells..    

 

A little poll to help with product development if you can spare a minute

 

If you have alternates, I am all ears

 

Many thanks

I picked the 1/24 Stuka because I think it could use the help the most.

But if you had a selection for "All of the Above" I would have picked that! After all, I have all the kits you listed!

It's a good shout Ray as it's about to be re-released (though no changes to the mouldings)...

 

interesting prospect

[LSP_Ron]

I followed Ray's lead.

I chose the Avenger, though any would be great.

Definitely the ju87. First big kit I ever built in the early 70s. First kit I built on my return in 2010. Would love it to get raised to the next level with a "Peter touch"

Almost went with the Ju-87, but wasn't this kit surpassed by the Trumpeter release ? As I know Trumpeter , they probably messed up something, yet I don't know.

 I would say F-4 phantom would benefit of some Airscale TLC. But again, my first thought was naturally leading towards Stuka in 1/24.

 

Voted Phantom , thinking Stuka LOL

The Trumpeter Ju87B is pretty bad.  A number of issues, especially with the spinner and nose section, and the ancient Airfix kit is actual more accurate.

None of the above Peter I’m afraid unless it was a comprehensive enough upgrade to a British Phantom! Asking rather a lot I know……but you can do it! 

[dennismcc]

Now that my eyes are fixed and a hand fix is coming soon I intend to build some USN kits and I usually build in threes, the Dauntless and Avenger figure large in my building schedule after the Devastator, the Val may just sneak in there somewhere. Hence my vote went for the Dauntless.

 

Cheers

I would propose a well forgotten kit, the DH sea venom. improvements to the cockpit, landing gear bay, would be more than necessary for the old Revell/matchbox kit. Enough to give it a new youth.

I went with the Hasegawa stuka, because as much as that subject isn't of great interest to me, it does seem to be the most mainstream of the kits listed. 

Would *I* like detail sets for others of those kits you've listed? Absolutely, but as much as I'll bet the Val, for example, will be able to use an upgrade, I'd be utterly shocked if that turned into a sales success for Airscale. 

 

 

On a side note, does this give us a glimpse Into upcoming builds from you?

Voted Val but would be very interested to see some WW2 single-seater options as well (or is the plan to stick to multis?)

 

Either way looking forward to more sets!

I thought the same thing! Voted Phantom (and stand by that) but the Hasegawa 1/32 Stuka is another very good choice for yours truly.

why not alternate between a prop and a jet?
