Your current wish list

[PR19_Kit]

some of the barns wallace designs such as the swallow, and a R101

Barnes Wallace's big airship was the R100, as kitted by Frog years and years ago. There's a 1/72 scale model of it in the Elvington Musuem and it's 10 feet long!

Seems to me that someone from Revell is reading my wish list as most of the models I've requested have either been re-released or are brand new kits.
I hope they bring out a plastic 1/24 TX4 taxi as the company has gone into administration, I've had a good long look at the FX4 and apart from the glazing none of the parts in the 'real world' were carried over. You'd need major surgery to create the TX4 from a Fairways kit!!
Maybe a 1/24-1/25 scale interior lighting kit for cars,lorries and vans. I'm not too sure on how much heat they would generate when switched on, but on the larger builds interior lights inside a 1/72 C-130 or 1/48 B-29 hanging from the ceiling would look very effective!!

Still waiting for someone to do a 24th Aston Martin DB7.

Do you have a Maplins near you?  They fixed me up with a great set of low voltage LED lights (3v) that can run off of a couple of AA's, or from a fixed 3v mains adaptor.  I specified low heat output, and if run only on 3v or less, virtually no heat is generated!  For added safety, you can wire in some resistors to protect from surges.  Real easy to do !

I built leds into a lancaster YEARS ago when i was a kid and heat was no issue at all... Nowadays they give off even less heat ! I say DO IT !

There's a company in the modelling mags advertising LED's specifically for models "Lightyourmodels.com." It's in the US however

[deathjester]

Fear not - standard 3v LED's will suffice! 

[McColm]

Thanks deathjester

[deathjester]

Has it worked!  We need pictures!!

I wish someone would make a 1/48 747.

I wish someone would make a 1/48 747.

I'd settle for 1/72...injection

[The Wooksta!]

Someone did one.  Can't remember who though.  I remember it hanging from the ceiling in Leisureworld in Eldon Square in the 1980s.

Only 72nd Jumbo is the one from Aircraft in Miniature.  The body and wings are vacuformed (but they are cut out) and the rest is resin and metal.

Keep thinking of getting one to do a Shuttle carrier for my Space Shuttle but not sure my skills are up there yet.

[PR19_Kit]

Atlantic Models used to do 747s in all sorts of airline schemes, but they were designed for travel agents and were in very few pieces. The fuselages were in 2 or 3 parts and the wings were SOLID! I'm not sure if they're still available from that scource thoiugh.

[The Wooksta!]

Kit, do you remember Linzi Mumford's C5 Galaxy Zwilling in 72nd with the Monogram Shuttle slung under the wing centre section?  That was BIG!
