Lee White Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) 2 hours ago, Archimedes said: 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. There are actually 2 out there in the wild, the best being the Schmitt-Modellbau kit, and the Combat kit. The Combat kit might be more readily available (in a relative sense), but the Schmitt kit is a gem. https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=608 Edited March 24 by Lee White Iain, LSP_Ray and Archimedes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Indeed Lee. The Combat version is a copy of the Modelbau Schmitt kit - I have both. Iain Lee White, Paul in Napier and Archimedes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigH Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Easy for me. Always in 1:24 but I'll accept 1:32 as a poor second 1) Handley Page Halifax 2) Boulton Paul Defiant 3) sorry but Avro Lancaster IN 1:24 PLEASEEEEE Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY IVAN5 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Well, my picks would be[ in no particular order], F11Ftiger, Bristol Beaufort , and a Pe-2. Iain and Archimedes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Paul Let me see where I've put the Combat kit Paul - it *might* be available. The Schmitt kit I started a looong time ago - but I suspect I may have 'file thirteened' the fuselage/wings... Iain Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold them off, though, as this is one kit I would prefer in 1/35th for obvious reasons. My 3 aircraft: Fokker G.I F-102 ( I have the vac, but its still 80% Scratch!)

RadBaron Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 #1) Auster series. Preferably a J1b, but all of the J series would be splendid. #2) Beechcraft Staggerwing series. (The ITC/ Staggerwings Unlimited kit doesn't count, one look at it and you know there is literally nothing accurate about it, or could be used to help a scratch build. #3 Grumman Widgeon. I'd love ALL the grumman amphibs in large scale, but if only one, the G44 Is MY dream plane. 4th runner up, and i agree with @Iain, a Chipmunk would be fantastic! My father owns one and getting to fly him in it recently was a monumental occasion that I'd love to replicate in model form Denzil Iain and CRAZY IVAN5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldbaldguy Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Mine would require tailhooks, so: Big Banjo, Curtiss SBC Helldiver bipe, any anti sub airplane from Grumman. As an aside, I’m more than a little surprised that we see many of the same airframes pop up, which tells me that most of what we want is already available somewhere.
