  1. 1/48 injection molded F-86H; parts to make the .50 machine armed block 1, the block 5 and block 10 20mm cannon armed version, and appropriate wing configurations (6-3 unslatted wing and the 6-3 slatted wing).

    1/48 Gulfstream 550, 650 and 700. I know, executive jets kits aren't known for selling well, but the 550 and the 700 would be a dream come true for me.

    1/48 L1049G Super Constellation

    1/32 scale F-111, preferrably the F-111F but other variants would be acceptable.

    1/32 scale B-58A. It would be about 36" long which would be outside of what many modelers could display when finished, but oh what an impressive model it would be.

    1/72 XC-99

    And this is what customers are looking for. A specific version, specific marking - they buy, they build, they put it on the shelf.

    Maybe some time from now there will be "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" boxes, but it won't be soon.

    It's interesting that you mention 2 in one and 2 in one because years ago, (post dinosaur), companies like Monogram produced such kits. Their 1/48 P-38 let you build a J, an L, an M and a photo reconn model I can't recall the designation of. Those kits made for some interesting model. A return to that practice would, I firmly believe, be most welcome.

  3. I've been an airplane nut (aka airplane enthusiast) for many years now and if there's one thing I've learned it's that if a manufacturer wants to produce a new model kit badly enough, they'll take the gamble and produce the kit. I've seen kits produced of airplanes I've never even heard of and not seen kits that, to my way of thinking, should be produced (1/72 C-124, 1/48 F-86H). At times, there seems to ryhme or reason regarding what a manufacturer produces while at other times, what is produced appears to be very calculated. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's wise not to write off the potential for a new kit of whatever airplane you like. I just might happen. We modelers have been greatly surprised in the past, so why not now and in the future.
