Geoff_B Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 An interesting one would be there 1/600 scale ships especially the Post War ones such as Victorious, Daring, Devonshire, Leander, Amazon and Fearless, probably best re-scaled to 1/700 although 1/350th would be interesting although somewhat more expensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 1/48th Buccaneer! It's really about time we get a new Buc in quarterscale. Reg. Jeroen Couldn't agree more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Re-tooling their HO/00 vehicle sets especially the RAF ones into 1/72 would go down a treat, done to the same standard as their bomber support set, and possibly with different body options. That would open up a whole host of potential displays. The rest of the range could be redone in the corrected scale with new technology track solutions for the tanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
March Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) 1/48 Buccaneer, although the one I'd really like to see them do, in the same scale, is the DH.88 Comet. That truly is a beautiful aircraft. Oh, and Concorde, I think the world is crying out for a decent kit of this majestic feat of engineering. (1/72).

Stuart Wilson Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Buccaneer S2, B-25 C/D (there's no modern kit of the earlier version and it saw a lot of RAF service), Me262, Wellington. I think all the above would sell well and could stay in production for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 In 1:72 the Yak-9, Spitfire Vb, Yak-9, Spitfire Vc, Yak-9, P-39, Yak-9, P-40E, Yak-9, Pe-2, Yak-9, Il-2 and then we sorely miss the Yak-9, in case someone hasn´t noticed yet. They have never done the Bristol Beaufort so I can´t wish that one as a re-tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did that, I'd love them to revisit the Bloodhound SAM kit and bring it up to 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Vulcan & Halifax B.III would be top of my retool list. To be followed by; Lightning F1/F3 H P Hampden Dornier DO-17 (still a pretty decent kit) Vickers Wellington Dornier DO-217 Junkers JU-52 FW-190D ( still have the 80s retool! Another nice, if basic model) F-80C F2H Banshee F-86D F4D-1 Skyray F4-Phantom (Spey version only please!!) C-130 B-29 B-24 B-26 Marauder (this 1974 veteran is still, in my view one of Airfix's finest) Buccaneer (either scale) Javelin T3/FAW9 (1/72) JP-5 TSR-2 as the FTPTT version - (Fits Together Properly This Time). Well, I think that is enough to be going on with. Oh, hang on, I nearly forgot the F-84G Thunderstreak! Allan ps - how about the Fairy Rotodyne & 1/72 Concorde? pps - just remembered the Super Mystere B2 !! ppps AND the Mirage IIIC Edited January 12, 2016 by Albeback52 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Albatross DV, RE8 and Sopwith Camel from WW1, The Hawker Hart, dh88 and HP42 from interwar. Boston and Mitchell (note I'm not calling them A-7 or B-25 because I want RAF versions) from WW2 along with a Wellington, Hampden and Battle. However what I want the most just now is the BN Islander with a choice of piston or turbine engines, and in 1:48 as well as 1:72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denford Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 In 1/72 a Grumman Avenger, with folding wings of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I suppose a Buccaneer in either 1:72 or 1:48 is a good candidate. But what I would love even more and which is something nobody has done for ages is a new tool, accurate (including accurate surface detail - LIDAR I scream) 1:144 SPACE SHUTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes - with Boosters and External Tank. And for 1:72 scale a new tool Concorde without flimpsy gimmicks that do not work anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 For me: Westland Whirlwind fighter in 72nd and 48th. Take Trumpeter head on and really make a statement about being a serious contender to the world. Another piece of the BoB collection. The 76th airfield vehicle sets in 72 and 48th scales. Huge conversion potential and a lot of casual interest from Rail road modellers and transport fans DH.88 Comet racer in 48th. A beautiful aircraft that wouldn't be to hard to build as an impulse purchase. Possibly in 72nd as well but 48th would sell better I think and make more profit per kit sold. Much as I'd love a Rotodyne, Saunders Roe sr.53 and so on I really think there are other companies better set-up for lower volume sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyverns4 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Well, since you asked, Buccaneer 1/72& 1/48 Firefly Boston SR53 Lysander Anson Hurricane (metal wing) Hawker Demon Hawker Fury Whirlwind (proper & egg-beater) Battle Hampden DH 88 Comet Kingfisher Walrus Dominie Chipmunk Bulldog, (both types) Probably more, but brain fried at the mo' and in both proper scales please, (1/48 & 1/72).

Seahawk Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Harvard II (not a T-6G, please!), Walrus, Boston. Wellington, Hudson, Battle, Anson, Buccaneer, Canberra B.2, Jetstream. With the exception of the Buccaneer and maybe the Canberra, the kits of all of these are real old fossils, some quite cringeworthy, from the 1950s/60s. Some of you have been asking for retools of kits that, while maybe 30 years old now, actually still shape up (pun intended) quite nicely - if you can find them. And, as an act of penitence, they could replace the ghastly recent Sea Harriers, Hurricane IIc and MiG-15 with models bearing a less vague likeness to the real things.

Those kits have been around since time began. I would like to know whether Airfix intend to carry on with a range of tanks and vehicles, in my opinion if they do then they need to replace all those old kits very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
