... or maybe even F-35B.

That would be very good to see, i'd probably buy one or two. :thumbsup:

My B-26 Marauder needs are fully met by the Hasegawa kit, but I would go for a new tool Vulcan to complete the V-bomber trio. I have built the elderly Airfix kit but would like a more contemporary version too.
All hail 1:72!

1/48 is more desperately needed though...B-25J/H too.

An updated 1/72 Skyraider kit.  A single seat one.  With a 1/72 scale toilet.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I'd buy that too... The A-1J would be very welcome! :wub:

More likely to see the AD-4W or rather the Skyraider AEW1 as that was the version used by the Royal Navy. Yes I know Airfix did the Skyraider but it dated from when they were still in active use in Vietnam, so they would probably favour the RN AEW version if they decided to do it.

Would be nice to see but would prefer to see a Scimitar and Sea Vixen or even a new Whirlwind first.

Oooh yes please! A Scimitar and a Vixen would go down very nicely, thank you!

Brengun do the toilet bomb in 1/48 and 1/72.

Still waiting for an Airfix single-seat Venom, thank you very much! Don't mind the scale!

Also a 1/48 and/or Tiger Moth would be fantastic.

Problem is a decent 1/72 Skyraider to hang it from.

I take it from these posts that the Hasegawa kit doesn't cut the mustard...haven't built it but can't see anything wrong with it (apart from a usual lack of ordnance).

And when it comes to building a Skyraider that's an awful lot of plastic

Early model Skyraider in overall gloss blue and British Pacific Fleet markings would be nice

I certainly agree with early model Skyraiders (both 1/72 and 1/48). It's not as easy as some reviewers maintain to backdate an H/J...those armour plates are a bugger to remove properly. A really nice new A-1E/AD-5 etc would be lovely :wub:. A-1E is in my top five faves.

I've not seen the Hasegawa one.  Only the Heller/Airfix.
<off to google>
Hmmm, Scalemates says Hasegawa dates from '96.  It doesn't look bad.  Better than the Airfix one anyway.
Fujimi and Hobbycraft also produced them.
I can get a new Hasegawa 1/72 Skyraider from an LHS for a mere $47.  This is why Airfix should do one.
