F-86D

 

Already capably satisfied in 1/72 by Hasegawa; in 1/48 by Revell/Monogram, and 1/32 by Kitty Hawk.

 

If I could have a wish list it would be to plead with Kotare to do nothing that was in service after 1938...

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

I’d be happy with a decent Halifax and Stirling in 1/48. I keep hoping HK will try the Halifax anyway. Airfix is probably due to do both of those subjects in 1/72.

Not sure those a currently available though 

[Jo NZ]

Just saying, but Kotare will have all the information they need on the Manchester....

[B.sin]

They'll never make, what I want!

 Then again, nobody will ever make what I want!  🥺

There’s a small manufacturer called ‘Scratchbuilt Models’ that makes exactly that very selection and in whichever scale you want!

[Phas3e]

I'll take a 1/32 P-51B/C, MkV Spitfires or Hurricane family

I'm pretty sure they are showing on ZM's website, and I've certainly seen a Ta 152 H-1 on ebay.

 

I haven't looked around other model shops, though.

 

And yes, I am aware that showing in their website doesn't mean there are boxes out in shops.

An accurately shaped DH103 Hornet in collaboration with the local 1:1 reconstruction.

...........also, it would be worth having a very nice number of words with our own @John Aero They'll have to take a number, as the top of John's 'job's to do' list is his 1/1 MG rebuild.

Can Kotare issue some of WnW's WW1 kits? If thats possible, it will be wonderful.

Probably they are stopped by the ownership of the moulds which would be owned the previous company , WNW . 

Any type of new mould costs a great deal , especially with tooling and all the paperwork involved with instruction leaflets .

[Alan P]

According to their Facebook page, their first release is a real step into the unknown, a totally original subject that nobody has ever thought of producing before...

 

Of course not, it's a Spitfire 😂

[JohnT]

You can do all the aircraft from the Battle of Britain period now - well almost now they are doing the Mk1 Spitfire that nobody else does - except

No Defiant

No Dornier 17

No Blenheim 

stopping up that gap would be nice

 

While I doubt it’s for Kotare I have also thought it can only be a matter of time before a manufacturer does a Martin Marauder in 1/32. It’s the remaining major USAF type not kitted (kitsetted ???) in that scale. Maryland and Baltimore excepted also both Martin products. Conspiracy theorists to the front please

 

Last no one does a 1/48 Stirling or Halifax. No one dare mention the FM product as this is a family friendly site and we don’t want to scare the children

 

In a way I hope Kotare don’t just do pre WW2 types. I’d like to see a sustainable WNW Part 2 as their models are quite magnificent but I have a nagging doubt as to whether there is a mass market out there beyond us enthusiasts large enough to keep a manufacturer commercially viable. Having said that the world was certainly a better place for having WNW in it and I really wish every success to the guys at Kotare whatever kits and era they produce from

 

Now Kotare about that 1/32 Fairey Battle with VC winner decals………..

 

 

[Scimitar F1]

P-51B

Griffon Spitfire

Sea Fury

F-86 Sabre

F9F Panther

All well known, lots of markings, no modern kits available in 1/32

[Bandsaw Steve]

Interesting that on the very same day that Australia announces it’s building a fleet of nuclear submarines, New Zealand should announce that its building a fleet of plastic Spitfires…🤔

 

 

[Welkin]

The Kōtare is the New Zealand Kingfisher, so maybe a Vought OS2U KIngfisher?

[MikeC]

A good series of Allison Mustangs, complemented with a P-51B/C;

Avia B.534;

A 1/32 Chipmunk;

As someone else said, a DH.60, and perhaps a few more Moths while they're at it.

That'll do, I'm not greedy.

[tank152]

Bf109 G-6/14.

Bf109 G-6AS/14AS.

Bf109 G-10(From all 3 factories)

Bf109  K-4.

Fw190 Radial engine series.

Fw190 D.

Ta152C/H

Ju87B/D/G

Ta154.

Bf110 G-4.

JU88 G1/6.

Ar234.

Me262.

In other words almost anything from WWII with a Swastika on it!

Spitfire Mk XIV, Preferably highback.

BP Defiant.

Hurricane.

P51 B/C.

I'm very greedy!!

I realise most of these have been done before but most are aging Hasegawa kits that need bringing up to date with the quality of today.

 

[gunzo]

Does a merlin Spitfire suggest the are half way to a Hornet?😉

[Peter Browne]

Simple for me.

 

Spitfire Mk. V

 

Hurricane Mk. I

 

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 and E-4

 

Despite the situation of the market being saturated with 1/32 BF 109s a few years ago, you cannot now find any accurate Bf 109 E-3 or E-4 kits now that Cyber Hobby kits have dried up.  Quite astounding actually.

Hobby 2000 are re-releasing the Cyber hobby E-3, E-4 and E-7 soon if that helps.
