Aeronut Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'd like to see an accurate kit of any or all of the following; Horsa, Hotspur, Hadrian, Hamilcar or a (I can wish can't I) Hengist gliders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Some more: 1:48.... Chinese J-7 is definitely missing in 48th ( I know there is an AA kit, but that does not really count I think;) ) as is a Fantan.... Spanish Saeta and Super Saeta trainers and light attack aircraft, Italian Fiat G-91Y two engined version... Egyptian / Messerschmitt designed Ha-300 ... Yugoslav Orao fighterbomber Mig-29M2/ MiG-35 MiG-1.44, Su-47... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 All these people wishing for 1/32 4-engine bombers and stuff. There's a point beyond which... But I still want a 1/48 Spruce Goose. (Truth is if I were crafty I could build an electric-powered R/C one in that scale... don't think it hasn't crossed my mind!) bob p.s. I second (or however far back in line) 1/48 Brigand and 1/72 B-23! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're aware that AA Models do this one as well, and I imagine that you'd have the same opinion of it as the J-7. However, I saw one built up at Telford on the MiG SIG stand, and it looked very, very good. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have a B-23 also. I think it was the best looking bomber to sport those beautiful wings. Hughes HK-1 in 1/48=80”ws. Very doable. A couple of local chaps built their own electric Martin Mars, they fly very realistically. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 If the gods could look kindly upon this poor soul I would would over the moon if someone did a kit, any medium of a Piper PA160 Twin Comanche so I can complete(hopefully) my list of RAF research aircraft, XW938, piccy here; http://www.ukserials.com/results.php?serial=XW 🙏😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 A 1/72 Fairey Fox and a DH9. I would also say DH9A but Maquette released a kit of the Polikarpov R.1 which was a Soviet copy. Not that you can still buy it, mind you. Rarer than hens teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout for all three - and I'd add the Wapiti and a proper Wallace too. Can't believe the Fox has only been the ancient Pegasus kit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the Fox has only been the ancient Pegasus kit I think Dora Wings have both a Wallace and a Wapiti planned for the future although they have been on their list for a long time now so I'm not sure if they'll ever surface, a bit like the Special Hobby Canberra.

Anatol Pigwa Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We are certainly missing a Boeing T-7 Red hawk kit yet in any scale. Also a AMX from some major manufacturer in 1:72 would be welcome (particularly the single seater version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I will be a good boy and limit myself to two that have been long-term desires of mine and one more recent: - the Fletcher FU24 agricultural aircraft in 1/72 and 1/48 (with the dream of 1/32). Thanks to my urging Unicraft released a 1/72 resin model of their typical quality and accuracy and then on their own initiative a 1/48 version with new flaws and issues - a proper civilian Hughes 500C in 1/48 and 1/32 with the option of high or low skids in the box - the XP-40Q-2 in 1/48 with USAAF and civil markings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Aviation Usk did a Dominator. I never had one but the rest of their range was injection moulded and I'm pretty sure this was too. The Tu.4 needs little more than a gun barrel change - ok, may gun barrels changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 A 1/48th scale Fuji T-1 is a really good call and a bit of a surprise that Hasegawa never went there. It's indigenous, was used by the national acrobatic team and came in a variety of bright colours. That and the 1/72nd scale version was one of their very early kits. I suppose you could say that it's only recently that we've seen a mainstream kit of the broadly contemporary Gnat but we had the Aeroclub kit bridging the gap for many years. I don't know if there's a similar kit of the T-1 out there. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Av Usk were (I think) a model shop/dealer which branched out into a line of well researched transfer sheets - the instruction sheets were several times the size of the transfers. They then produced a number of reasonable standard kits of small aircraft that were generally considered wanted at the time: the Typhoon comes to mind but I have the IK.3 and one (at least) Japanese floatplane - the Pete but I may have a Dave too. I don't have a full listing of their range, but they did climax with the B-32, which I think was entirely injected plastic but seems to have over-stressed them as they shortly after disappeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Bryon Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 As I'm enjoying making some postwar floatplanes in 1/48 it has come to my attention that, as far as I can tell, no one has made a Supermarine Sea Otter in this scale. Which is a shame. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
