DH 60 Gipsy Moth  (with DH 82 donor)

DH 83 Fox Moth     (with DH 82 donor)

 

DH 110 Sea Vixen FAW 1

Consolidated PBY Catalina

 

The first two might make it to completion in this life, but I think a Sea Vixen and a Catalina needed starts thirty years ago, maybe forty..

 

 

 

Don't HPH make a 1/32nd scale Catalina? 

[Christa]

I had long thought the HPH Catalina-5a is a sectioned kit.

 

The centre section piece I have just seen indicates the whole aircraft is available. Amazing.

 

Cheers

Miiiiiiike, Miiiiiike! That Fw187 looks like the illegitimate offspring of a Herschel Hs129 and a Westland Whirlwind! Niiiice.

@Shoggz The Firefly would surely sell!  - great choices.

@Christa Oh Chris….More or less all of DeHavilland’s output should be made by someone! Impeccable choices from you there. Tip of the cap to you Sir! 100%

1/24 F4U-1a Corsair.

1/32 F-106 Delta Dart.

1/32 B-26 Marauder.

1/24 Sopwith Triplane.

1/24 Sopwith Snipe.

Now @Model_Monkey Steve….”3 shall be the holy number” so you can have the Corsair, the Delta Dart and the Marauder (such a ‘right’ looking plane) but now your re really pushing it with the the Tripehound and the Snipe…. . A little part of me thinks all WWI fighters would be best in 1/24 but what do I know?

 

@Erwin totally agree with you and others who want a Defiant! 

[Dennis7423]

These would be my three:

 

1/32 B-26 Marauder

 

1/32 F-111 Aardvark

 

1/32 G4M Betty

 

All very significant aircraft, and all missing in 1/32 (at least as far as the injection molded/resin stipulation in concerned).

The F-111 would be huge in 1/32nd scale wouldn't it?

 

How does it compare in size to something like an F-105 or Su-27?

It is a large airplane, absolutely. It is larger than an F-105. However, it's about the same size as a 1/32 B-17, so if one can be done, the other can as well :-)

A Do215N..of course...

 

 

 

Hkrevelloura, Wake up!!! I am going to start mine...

That‘s easy:

1) SB2U-3 Vindicator

2) Fairey Battle

3) Lagg-3

Hello there!

 

In this totally unscientific review here is the list of aircraft that have more than one vote apiece

Ju 52.                                    2

Bristol Blenheim.                  2

F11 Tiger.                              3

Anson.                                  3

Fairey Battle.                        3

Heinkel He177.                     2

Cessna A-37.                       3

Fairey Firefly.                       2

DeHavilland Chipmunk.       3

Boulton Paul Defiant.           3

Auster J-Series.                   3 The Austers and Chippie get three each because ‘I likes ‘‘em’ and I made this nonsense vote up! ‘

 

Interesting

 

Kind regards,

Paul

Oh, ok. Put me down for a Blenheim, a Defiant, and a side of Battle. Will have the Firefly for dessert. 

A bottle of Castrol 40 weight for the main course and some glycol for after dinner.

Speaking scratch building, as what I would like has little chance of being kitted in any form:

Martin Baker MB 2, especially the first version without any fin!

Lockheed Model 9 Orion, a beautiful and fast little airliner.

Have Blue stealth prototype, the cute little one compared to the F-117.

Wow! I'd never seen this aircraft before Mike. It's a great candidate for a scratch build. 

It looks like someone threw a Helldiver, Thunderbolt and Skyraider into a blender and this is the result. 

 

I Like it. 

 

The Chipmunk would be on my list too as would a Folland Gnat/HAL Ajeet. I'd even go (1/24th for that tiny aircraft)

The mauler is one big son of a gun! 1/3 bigger than a Skyraider, with an R4360 under the hood! It wasn't a very successful design but ,man it is impressive. I want to say they built about 150 or so.

Would like to get 1:33 card models of the following three to use as patterns for scratchbuilt styrene versions:

 

1:  Su-15TM Flagon

2: RF-101C Voodoo

3: Fairey Delta FD.2 

 

Unfortunately I don't believe any of those are available as card models.

Hi Tony,

 

I think Tigger did a 1/32 Su15…

 

Kind regards,

Paul

Quite a few of the aircraft mentioned are available from Tigger or the Combat range (although the latter is no longer producing) vacs. I have a F-111, Catalina and Sea Vixen in 1/32 and all are an excellent basis for a good model - at least the basic vac shapes a good starting point and negate the need for a total scratch build.
