Archimedes Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 We ALL have our wishlists and this will probably generate eye-rolls from some of the community (so my apologies if this is not your sort of thing). I am highly interested in what are the top three aircraft that have NEVER been made as a released injection molded nor resin kit in 1/32 or 1/24 . I’m not including 1/35 as most aircraft have not been kitted in that scale. This is NOT about the likelihood of them being kitted, just the aircraft you most want and would HAVE to scratch build to get one right now. Mine are the following (and all are 1/32) 1. Junkers Ju 52/3m - because I want to build a civil version. 2. Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV - My uncle worked for Bristol and I know for sure that he worked on Blenheims and Beaufighters in particular so this would be a shoe in for me if anyone kitted the Blenheim. 3. DeHavilland Comet IV in BOAC markings (please no comments that it’s ’just too big in this scale’) I am highly interested in your thoughts on this subject….and, if there is a vacform of any of the three I am interested in, I would be grateful to know. I am equally interested in any available drawings that are regarded as half decent! Three shall be the holy number. Three; not four, not two and five is right out there.

DaveMorrissette Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 One I would like in any scale 1/48th or better yet 1/32 would be an F-11 Tiger. One can dream. 1/32 Vigilante from Tamiya (HAHAHAHA) Dave Iain, Archimedes, scvrobeson and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 For me it would be He 177, Short Skyvan, and I can't think of a third one. Kev Iain, BloorwestSiR, Archimedes and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Easy….. 1. Avro Anson: I have a Combat Models (now defunct I believe) partially built…..love it….must finish it. 2. Fairey Battle….I’d do mine as a target tug 3. North American Harvard Mk 1. My dream has always been to convert the KH T-6 but it’s a mega task. All of these simply because Dad flew them during his time in the RAF.

thierry laurent Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Difficult to say: Voodoo, Neptune & A-37 are in the top of the most desired planes of my list. Then, there is the Sea King and Sea Knight, then the F-82, then the... I'm afraid you have opened the Pandora's box...

BloorwestSiR Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 CF-100 Clunk would be top of my list. Followed by a CF-105 Arrow and finally the F-11F Tiger previously mentioned. Iain, paul fisher, Alain Gadbois and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 There are just too many missing. I fully agree with Kev about He 177. However being these days into airliners somehow it would be great to have: 1. C-46 2. DC-4 /6 3. Martin 202/404 4. Convair CV 240/340/440 Iain, Paul in Napier and Archimedes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I would take a: 1/24 F7F Tigercat 1/24 Firefly 1/32 HP Hastings (for my dad ) but at the mo I am just building what I fancy free of kitmakers plans Peter Shoggz, Archimedes, thierry laurent and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Interesting - I've been going through this over and over in my head since I've got into 3D printing and design, with the opportunities to do almost anything you desire. 1 hour ago, Archimedes said: 3. DeHavilland Comet IV in BOAC markings (please no comments that it’s ’just too big in this scale’) I'd like to think my P-8A Poseidon project demonstrates that larger aircraft are doable in 1:32 (my standard scale). A Comet would be a wonderful project. My top 3 would probably be: 1. de Havilland Chipmunk (as I own a share in one) 2. Scottish Aviation Bulldog (as friends own them - and I have spent a fair amount of time in them as a result) 3. Handley Page Victor - for it's amazing 'Thunderbirds' shape I have some others on my list - but you did say 3, so I'll behave! It's good to dream...

Lee White Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Hmm, probably a Voodoo, Xf10F Jaguar, and something French from the 1950s. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
