AMXs in 1/72nd and 1/48th.

Pilatus PC-6/7/9/12/21s in both scales.

Embraer Tucano (as opposed to Shorts Tucano) in basic and Super-Tucano version.

EMB-145 with all it's Amazon surveillance options, i.e. Eriye etc....

CASA C-212 Aviocar in 1/72nd.

Swiss Pz.61 and Pz.68 tanks in at least 1/72nd (interesting in 1/35th!)

Austrian armour (exported to all sorts of "interesting" places): Steyr Sk.105 tank destroyer, 4K4FA and 4K7FA tracked APCs, ASCOD MICV with Ulan (Austrian) and Pizarro (Spanish) options, Pandur 6x6 APC.

If any of these already exist in kit form then a) sorry and b) tell me about it!

Aeroclub did/does Pilatus PC-7 & 9 (got one of these) in injection and they also do white metal parts to convert the Short Tucano back into an Embraer (c/w a vac canopy)  If you don't regard them as 'main stream' kit company you might want to read this. When Airfix went down the tube and before they were saved by Hornby, Peter Wright of Aeroclub told me they then became the largest kit producer in the UK.

Wow. All the choices and what I mainly want is a decent injection Scimitar in either 48th (preferably) or 72nd.



Looks as if Hannants will announce a new Xtrakit of a 72nd Supermarine Scimitar F1 this weekend, although no idea when its actually available (price listed at £17.99)

Woo!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks for that - looks like High Planes did an injection PC-6 too.

Couple others I would like to see:
Orion Shuttle from 2001 (reissue of Aurora kit or even a new one in 72nd but not the Airfix version)
Moonbus from 2001 (also a reissue or 72nd)
Nautilus from Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1/350th or larger scale, hmm, how big would that be in 72nd)

How can we forget the Airfix kit?

A company called Masterkit also does/did a Tucano in 1/72

Mu current wish list is topped by the Aeroclub Shackleton MR2 conversion which I 'bought' from them about a month ago and STILL haven't got........  >:( :o

Excuses, excuses.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

A-4 Skyhawk kits:

Italeri (very nice little kit, average in quality)
Airfix (horrible)
Hasegawa
Matchbox
ESCI (did 2 versions, at least the humpback reissued by Italeri)

NH-90 NFH:

I suppose we might soon see Revell modify the NH-90 kit :rolleyes:

Future Lynx:

Can't wait for a kit of this one! But lets see if the real thing gets off the ground first :thumbsup:

F-16E/F

Don't forget the F-16I!

PAK-FA

We don't even know what it looks like! ;D

R2 is rereleasing the old Aurora kit in 1/32nd.  While not as detailed as Bandai, at least it is coming back.  Personally, I wish someone would get permission to do this in 1/24th.  I still have a Futura kit that is planned for this but getting the extras gets costly.

How about the Batcopter in 48th, 32nd, 35th or even 24th.

A high quality styrene moulding of floats and struts for the up and coming Wingnuts 1/32 Fokker D.VII.    Like that's ever gonna happen.   :blink:

Alternative lozenge patterns for WW-1 era aircraft with the alternatives being shape, color, style.  IE: Winter digital cammo for an Albatros D.Va, desert hexagonal 6 color for the Junkers J.I's based in Palestine, and full upper and lower splinter greens when Sweden got a few Dr.1's.    Alternatively, presuming Scotland was never conquered , Sopwith Camels or the like with the flag of Scotland rather than the roundel over clear doped linen.  Or the red cross on English machines for that matter and red dragons on the Welsh machines.


Real World:

Full resin cockpit for the new Airfix B-57B.  Injection moulded styrene to convert the Airfix kit into the WB-57s currently in NASA's employ.
