Besides the Ju 52/3m and He 219 I can think of the early Do-17 (before the Do-17Z issued by Airfix) - multiple versions possible. - used in the invasion of Poland - used by Luftwaffe, Yugoslavia, Croatia, Spain, Romania and Bulgaria. - used by Luftwaffe as transport and courier after replaced as a front line bomber. - only recent kits are the limited run kits by RS Models.

It makes sense to be able to lock the doors open or disengage the springs when you are to inspect or load bombs into the small bomb bays underneath the wing. Having to pry the doors open while handling bombs seems like a recipe for incidents.

There is a new Pe-2 from Zvezda - so less likely. What about a Tu-2? The ICM kit isn`t bad, but getting old. There are airframes on display in Krakow and Warsaw - and they can release several versions. A He 219 would also be nice.

I have been a customer of https://modelsua.com both before and during the war, never had any major issues (had to wait a few weeks for a kit to be back in stock)- a parcel may take 2-3 weeks from Ukraine to Norway. You can also order from Modelsvit Bulgarian branch in Plovdiv - https://www.modelsvit-eshop.com

The RNoAF P-8s are in the same light grey as USN and RAF aircraft - operating at higher altitude than the P-3 aircraft.

Hawk 75A-6 24 Built for Norway Captured by Germany, sold to Finland Similar to H75A-1 19 in the initial batch, most of them had reached Norway in April 40 and eight were seized intact by Germany and sold on to Finland 12 in a second batch, ships carrying them were rerouted to France and the UK in April/May 40. P&W R-183-SC3-G engines Hawk 75A-8 36 Built for Norway never delivered Re-designated P-36G, Lend-Lease to Peru Similar to H75A-4 Delivered to "Little Norway" training camp in Canada and used as advanced trainers. (picture above) Sold to the US government for sale to Peru when more suitable aircraft became available. Wright Cyclone engines Besides engines and armament, radio installations and antennae are among the external differences. Curtiss sold airframes, customers had to source suitable engines, radios and armament.

I had a good look at the sprues on Airfix stand, and got to peek into a sample box with the complete? kit, It is an impressive example of toolmakers art (same guy did the B-24 in 1:72) and the person who prepared the molds for the clear parts did an excellent job - they were really clear. When shown the box with the full kit inside, I asked if a SOE version would be available - the answer was that they always planned for as many versions as possible - but it would not be released in 2025. I did also notice that Wingleader Lysander photo archives seemed to disappear quite fast from the sellers tables. To me, it looks like a winner for Airfix, can we have it in 1:72 as well, please?

BV 222 V2 has been located at 300 m depth in Trondheimsfjorden along with a He 115.

The set is growing - but still no Dyak engine option? 🤗

Is the F-35 on page 15 the old Italaeri kit with the taping represented by 2mm thick raised paths?

P-36 / Hawk 75 in 1:72 made to Arma standards is most welcome. The latest from KP/AZ isn`t bad, but is lacking in details For me, it will be P-36A-6 to represent the aircraft that were assembled, but not test flown before the invasion in April 40 and the P-36A-8 that were used by the Norwegian air arms in exile as advanced trainers. Arma can make several releases with small changes in engine (and cowling) as well as armament. USAAF Pearl Harbour markings / colourful prewar exercises. Finnish (Germany sold them ex-French and ex-Norwegian airframes) French 1939/40 markings Dutch (East Indies) RAF Chinese Peruvian Iranian And the size if the aircraft makes it possible to scale up to 1:48 sometime later. Here a row of Norwegian P-36A-8s in Little Norway training camp (Canada) - some of these airframes went to Peru afterwards.

There is a He 111P-2 in the local aircraft museum that I am quite familiar with. No prominent rivets on that airframe which was scanned by Airfix for their 1:72 kit. https://flysamlingen.no/utstillingen/flyene/heinkel-he-111p-2/

The Royal Norwegian Airforce never operated the F-84F, we had the RF-84F and the straight wing F-84E/G. The same story in Denmark. It would be nice with an RF-84F from Special Hobby made to the same standards as their F-84F.

All Nordic countries have former SAS Caravelle aircraft in museums, so photographic documentations is relatively easy. My local science museum has "Finn Viking" on display, the interior is complete and I have been inside a couple of times.
