gavingav1 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I wonder if airfix would consider a 1/72nd douglas skyraider for 2018, there is the hasegawa kit that seems perennially unavailable and the equally hard to find hobbycraft kit that was so-so , other available kits are all sixties era toolings like fujimi, airfix and mpc with battledamage parts, ripe for a retool i would say and they could do what tamiya did with their 48th kit- a-1h/j to squeeze two versions out of the same basic tooling with different armament sprues . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 A T-6/Harvard in 1/72nd would be an excellent choice, and could roll and roll for Airfix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful design of the moulds would allow for long and short canopied versions, if they only do one canopy can it please be the long version because it's the most appropriate to British and Commonwealth versions and, we already have the short canopied versions by Heller and Academy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
