What if a model kit were made.......of your what if model?

[kitbasher]

I'm going against the grain as I don't want ANYONE to do kits of my stuff as that would make it commercialised, mainstream and exploitative.

Thankfully when I exploit you for kit ideas it is in a bespoke, niche and handcrafted manner

🤣🤣🤣

I wish someone would come out with an affordable, injection-molded MAJESTIC/COLOSSUS Aircraft carrier in 1/700, depicted late in service with angled deck, larger elevators, etc.  I have scratch-built several but it would be great if we had more options for a later service BONAVENTURE, MELBOURNE, 25 de MAYO, etc.

My scratch 1/700 ex-MELBOURNE in 1982 Royal Navy Falklands service.

Not a bad idea. A sinking and burning 25 de Mayo, with either several Buccaneers circling it or a surfacing British sub would make for a good diorama.

Well probably the easiest one of mine to do would be the Me 623. Just persuade the new owners of PM Models to put out the P.1111 again, with a decal sheet based on the captured Me 163 Komet that Eric Brown test-flew. IIRC a cleverly designed bit of resin could give it intake sidewalls and a better cockpit all in one piece. Turned brass instumentation test boom and pitot tube, PE test boom fins, undercarriage doors and dash. If you want to get fancy, throw in a couple of Colin's Ruhrstahl X-12 AAMs.

Price? About £15 for the plastic, the resin cockpit tub and a basic decal sheet. £25-ish for all that plus the PE, brass and a multi-option decal sheet.

my TAM alike if also fairly easy,  it is was a Tamiya Marder apc, with a tamiya Chieftain turret on top....   as both are slatwart models of the tamiya range ( the cheiftain is as old / older then me)  it wouldant be a far run, cost would be £20 -30 at a guess  simaler to the prices they go for now, and with the normal ease of assemby that Tamiya have, in 1:35 ( for display ) and 1:48 ( for wargames use).  with the box art being it in its mismatch camoed glory in a very post WW3 city scape.

Now I'm wondering whether you could make an actual TAM from a 1/35th Marder hull and a 1/48th Leo-1A4 turret...

I'm not really a "cut and shut" modeller as I don't have the skills, but one of the few I've done and one I'd like a couple more of is my Westland Whirlpool. Maybe AZ/KP could tool it up ? Especially if I could provide the necessary tea stained napkin 

[PR19_Kit]

Oh yes Chris, that'd be great as a kit!

It'd also provide endless Whiff-fodder for people wanting to build other 'prop-in-the-middle' projects.
