What Kit Would Be On Your Wish List?

Recommended Posts

Everybody has a subject that they'd love to see, but there's no kit. What is sitting in that mental hanger that is your wish list?

 

Me, Personally, I'd love to see a 1/32 F-111E (77th TFS) and EF-111A (42nd ECS) with beautiful cockpits, great pilot figures (seated), weapons bays, seamless intakes, optional wing positions, slats/flaps, an arsenal of weapons capable of taking out a small nation, BRU's (not MER's or TER's), and a MJ1 Bomb lift truck... You know, THE WORKS.

 

I'm also wishing that I could find a 1/32 SU-27KUB with much of the same features as above. I guess I'm a sucker for tandem seating arrangements in fighter aircraft.

I really like LSP Mike's choices, and especially like those Swedish planes. Is that Swedish Yellow influencing my interest in Yellow Wings?

Did you know I spoke with Sing from Trumpeter once and he told me that they did in fact contemplate doing a 32 scale F-111. They thought the cost of tooling was to high and and now you have the new 48 scale F-111 from thier research. It was a real pity as I was really excited for a while thinking about doing an Aussie F--111C and the F-111B naval version.

We can only hope they revisit it later and take the chance to produce it.

Send them an email and ask for it. You never know!

I've yet to understand this! Cost of tooling too high!?! And what about the cost of the Tomcat or Su27 tooling? This is a moot point don't you think so?

Lots of good choices above, but two I'd particularly second:

- Westland Whirlwind (but probably too little known for mass market?)

- Canberra: surely lots of worldwide appeal, for both variants and colour schemes and markings? Please, Mr Revell of Germany?

 

If Mr Tamiya is making a set of each nation's WW2 iconic single seat fighter, isn't there a preserved Yak 9 somewhere they can use to make the definitive USSR entry?
