Rafbanter Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi All After being chastised (quite rightly, too) in another thread it seems that some of us would like to throw our hat in the ring for a Wish List from the newly announced Kotare Models company, so here goes. www.kotare-models.com Heres what we know so far: They are made up of some of the key players from the now-defunct Wingnut Wings. This company had a reputation for extremely high quality …. Wait…wait … I’m gonna say it … kitsets (!). They seem to be producing in 1/32 scale (at least for the time being) 2 images posted to their home page seem to indicate a subject hint of some kind. And that’s about it so far. So what would you really like to see boxed in high quality in 1/32 scale? And/or What do you think the subject images could indicate? Although this is meant as a fun post, try to keep within limits of what you would actually like to build and what you think would actually make some money for the company in order to stay in business. Everyone’s opinion is valid, so no arguing please. Over to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul in Napier Yeah, Fly Models have released I think 3 versions in 1/32 but I hear they're not that great apart from the general shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Avro 504 in 1/32 perhaps? There’s plenty of reference material in NZ and this was a very important aircraft back in the day. Loads of different colour schemes possible including a wide variety of commonwealth air arms and some bright post-war barnstormers. Also Qantas’s first aircraft. I’ve heard whispers that an Eastern European manufacturer is working on one though, so that might count against it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Some 20's-30's-period RAF fighters - sorry, the Silver Wings company kits are a bit expensive for my budget. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its in 1/32nd then I’ll one up ya with the late model Corsairs. The -4,4B, 5, AU-1, and -7. Tamiya’s got the early series down but no one has anything for the later birds. That or early model P-51’s with Allison engines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Anything that is pre-ww2 and not something we've seen zillions of times already. This will not stop folks asking for a 1/72 Spitfire V, a 1/32 P-51D-16a (because that block of four aircraft hasn't recently been modelled), a 1/48 Lancaster (because kits already out there aren't made of the right kind of plastic) and sundry other tedious, repetitive, ubiquitous stuff. My choices: 1/24 Vickers Bullet 1/32 BE.2e 1/32 Bristol Scout 1/32 BE.12 series 1/32 DH.6 1/32 Boulton-Paul Overstrand 1/32 Berliner-Joyce P-16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieW Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Here are a few I would dearly love to see in 1/32. From WW1 Short 184 BE2c Bleriot XI Nieuport 11 A couple of interwar racers DH88 Percival Mew Gull. Finally another shout for a Hurricane mk1.

dov Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Well, I would mind to get the models ready, which WNW started already. No idea if files are by hand. On the other side, WW1 many of the crew know well. So continue! There is plenty to do. Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dov Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Consider the other stupid idea: Every bomber from the RAF bomber command in 1/32! Later on in 48! Or civil airliners of interwar period? Special designs of WW1 there, the aviation history is full of topics of intetest. I supose we all, no matter which type it is, will be happy! Happy modelling & future will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
