IanC Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Sticking to 1/72 Allied WW2, I think the P-47 has to be a likely new tool at some point. A Harvard, Boston, B-24 and Halifax too. Less likely would be the Battle, Hampden and Stirling, and I'm not sure we'll ever see a Lincoln or Manchester. My preferred headline new tool bomber (at least tonight, as I'm reading about them..) would be a B-29. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd then have the complete set of the Whitley, Manchester and Wellington, and the Manchester would take up a lot less space than the considerably larger Lincoln. I would be just as happy with that as I would be with a Lincoln. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hopefully this isn't a wingy thing exclusive thread, so I'll throw this one in. One of the most used post WW2 vehicles, a Bedford RL in 1/35th. I'd even accept one in 1/48th. But I think that I'm more likely to have a night on the tiles with the Pope. And while we're asking for the impossible, how about a 1/24th Spruce Goose! John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I can confidently predict that there will be a rebox of both the Mossie XVI and Meteor F8 as the PR variants as I've purchased kits, conversion sets and decals (and in the case of the latter assembled the kit). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I predict there will be some plastic model kits Some fresher ones for the Vintage Classics No new ships, no new or re-issues of 1/32 cars or re-issues of the 54mm Collector Series figures But a 1/48 HP Hampden and a 1/48 Gloster Gladiator Good game this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3DStewart Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I think there's room for a 1:72 Ki-21 Sally in Airfix's range. As far as I'm aware there is no full-run tool in the world after the only previous one sunk in Tokyo Bay many decades ago. It's just what Airfix need to establish dominance in the Japanese market. This suggestion isn't entirely serious, but I'm always surprised that one of the most important of WWII bombers keeps on being passed over by manufacturers.

TonyW Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 A B29 with Washington markings included as well as US, would please a lot of people on both sides of the water. A Stirling would make sense, given the other heavyweights that have been updated. A 100 to 1 outsider would be a 1.48 Mayo Composite, I probably won't have a bet though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'd like to see the re-release of all the RAF ground vehicles, but in new 1/72 scale. 1. RAF Emergency Set 2. RAF Refueling Set 3. RAF Recovery Set Add to this any other British vehicle they originally released in 1/76 scale. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Good calls on the P-47 - high and low back (separate boxings!) and Boston. Not as if there are no available examples or schemes. I’d forgotten about re issues. Skyvan would be nice. Bird Dog, Bulldog and Piper Arrow wouldn’t use up much plastic either. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I'm glad to see lots of love for a new 1/72 scale Javelin and Sea Vixen. I've been banging on about them since the sublime 1/48 kits appeared from Airfix. I just hope they appear before my eyesight goes and the RRP becomes more than the original 1/48 scale kits!
