Plus almost all their 1/48 kits are roughly WWII era, only announced Mirage IV is an exemption from the rule. If I had to bet, I'd bet on something from the American XP series, or maybe a lightweight P-51. But TBH beauty of companies releasing short run kits is that they have a much wider choice of subjects, so this can be anything, including biplane Spitfire with laser guns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 After the success of their Twin Mustang, they have probably discovered the little known variant The F-82TRI, with three fuselages controlled by the pilot in the middle one*. It was a recon plane and unarmed, but the USAAF had invented a superb countermeasure for defence. The pilot could jettison the outside fuselages and part of the wings, and they would fly off at tangents to the central main plane, and that would confuse the enemy and prevent our hero from being shot down. As there has been no wreckage found, it proved the concept.

tony.t Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 An XF-84 turboprop Thunderscreech or butterfly tailed XF-91 Thunderceptor would be groovy, but I'd rather it were a mainstream jet like an accurate Su-15 Flagon. If it's WW2 props it's not my bag but doubtless it will please many. I must confess I've not yet bought any of their kits so the Mirage IV will be my first.

Phas3e Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 While the moonbat is the logical pick I'd love to see them do an XF-85 Goblin (though I think 32nd if the perfect scale for it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullofit Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 What is this prejudice? Any scale is beautiful, especially when it’s 1:48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The F-82 was nice. In keeping with the theme of USAF nighfighters, a "T*rd" ie Douglas F3D-2 Skynight would be a top seller. It was the first jet fighter to shoot down another jet at night. It also served in the unpleasantness in Vietnam. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats for me, I'm fine with 48th I just think with the small size of the Goblin makes it a perfect candidate for 32nd scale without taking up too much space.

Fullofit Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It is all good fun and you are perfectly entitled to wish for one, but I think the scale’s already been spoken for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then that Mirage needs a bridge--a Grumman F11F-1! The only 'mainstream' F11F is Lindberg's, which is really an under-detailed XF9F-8 It was a Blue Angels aircraft for a decade.
