Dennis_C Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Speaking about exotic projects - I would personally prefer to build some US or British prototypes of the 50s-60s. For example, those crazy VTOL designs such as Bell X-22, Bell XV-3, Fairey Gyrodyne, Lockheed XH-51, AH-56, Curtiss-Wright X-19, Hiller X-18, LTV X-42, many more of them. Seems most of them are available in resin only. Those are of interest for me as they were actually built and flew although never reached mass production giving way to more conventional designs.

The wooksta V2.0 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 A decent injection AH56 Cheyenne would certainly fill a gap, and both the Hawker P.1052 and P1081 in injection would also be very welcome. The tooling for the Hawker pair would only need two fuselage sprues and everything else is common to both types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I would like to see an injected Fokker T-V. I'm still hesitant to tackle the resin kit I have. It's a good-looking 30s design and it had lots of combat exposure, even if it was over a period of just four days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I`d just love to see the Legato Hurricane Mk.IIc kit altered to include a set of wings for a Hurricane Mk.IIb and maybe with a better canopy and propeller too? The Mk.IIb had lots of interesting colour schemes and was extremely widely used throughout the Far East, Middle East, UK, Russia etc,...etc. Cheers Tony Edited June 22, 2015 by tonyot 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroubos Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It would indeed be good if a manufacturer would do a series of good Hurricanes for once. It's really strange there is no series of modern toolings of one of the greatest fighters ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolibri282 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Meng models have brought out two Japanese project aircraft never made before in injection plastic, both 1/72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsmekanik Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I would like to see the MB200 done up agian, in fact I'd like to see a few of them ugly French thingies brought up to a higher standard...... Now that I'm getting on with my G-6, and looking at my Joypack of same, I think that the spiral decal idea is a nice one, but what I think I would have preferred was the instrument panel decals, and maybe a set of stencils. I really like the Joypack concept and I hope that these continue to make an appearance from time to time for most subjects.

AaCee26 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I wonder what Airfix has in the pipeline? Airfix has a newish Mk IIB but so far only in the Club kits. It is the some years old IIC with a new wing. I agree with the others that a state of the art and accurate Mk IIA and IIB are sorely missing!

sroubos Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 A BoB MkI is a priority for me... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hopefully one of the manufacturers will come along to do a series of good Hurricane models. Definitely will buy a lot of kits. I did presume one was produced during my long break from the hobby but reading the comments posted confirmed otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Airfix MkI is a fine kit but the fabric wing makes it a bit of an oddity for them to have released it so close to the BoB anniversary year. I think many of us had expected them to follow it up this summer with a metal wing, it would have been a license to print money. Perhaps they still will but I kind of doubt it now. Eventually, they must surely release one. Edited June 24, 2015 by sroubos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testerchild Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 My preferences: RAF D.H. Chipmunk including decals for the "yellow stripe" for the 'fifties, the "dayglo orange" for the 'sixties and the red scheme for the 'seventies. I'd buy all three. Jet Provost III/IV incl. C.F.S. decals Kirby Cadet T31/Mk III GLIDER and a Sedburgh T21 GLIDER, both including yellow stripe and later decals. There be lots of old (very old?) ex-cadets buying them.

KRK4m Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Vazeny Pane Petre, Half of the 2015 already passed and we still have no AZ Cessna UC-78 and Ki-61-1Tei, no KP Miles Master, Bf 109F and L-29 Delfin... What's even worse, we still have neither KP La-5FN nor Arado 96B you have promised us for May-June What's going on? Would you mind uncovering the current timetable?

We've got nothing! Deadlines have been broken! No kits to build! It's not even like there are other kits of other planes either. It's an outrage. No, it's worse - it's a threat to model building humanity! And now we demand to know what's going on! Sheesh, man, get a life and a sense of proportions...

Relja Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 My wish: French Curtiss P-36/H-75 from 1940, with all those colorful French unit emblems, tactical numbers and underwing codes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relja Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'm aware of that - I have one of those in my stash, bought it last weekend The markings on this one are so plain , compared to other French examples which wear escadrille emblems, stylizied numbers, large underwing codes.... The prices of aftermarket decal sets are close to the price of a full kit, and I also want to build more than one... So - a new box with a richer set of decals for French Air Force, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Vazeny Pane Petre, I have to express my thanks for the beautiful KP La-5FN and AZ Bf 109G-10 Diana I have purchased last month. Would you mind uncovering the current timetable for the AZ Cessna UC-78 and Ki-61-1Tei as well as the KP Miles Master, Bf 109F, Ar 96 and L-29 Delfin? There are rumours about KP new moulds for MiG-19 and Il-10. Can you confirm this? S pozdravem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Since this topic has been bumped anyway... I'm mainly looking forward to the La-7 and the 109G-10 Erla. But I'm not demanding anything, just curious if there are updates Is a 109K-4 planned to complement the extensive Gustav range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
