Earlier single seat Lightning in 1/72 would be nice, so would a 1/72 Hunter and Scimitar

I would be happy to see all three of those on the airfix roster
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Sadly, can't see them doing an early Lightning, more's the pity.  Especially as the alternatives are hideously expensive or OOP.

Ooooh yes!   A Scimitar, please!  I have in mind a Supermarine Seax    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seax  two seater Scimitar      And a cheap Sea Vixen too, if possible,  for mangling purposes.

I know I sound like a broken record, and I'm in a minority here as a 1/48 builder, but given the quality of their recent releases like the Hunter I really wish they'd do a new-tool 1/48 Jaguar or Bucc. Two of my all time favorites because of memories of seeing them frequently in the wild as a kid and there just isn't a decent 1/48 lot of either.  A 1/48 Scimitar would be lovely too. And a Venom...And a JP...And a Tucano...
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

I have the 1/48 Dynavector vac kit, it's very nice and you can see it was
definitely a beefy aircraft yet still fairly elegant.

I was looking at a magazine ad for the Vintage Classics Jag 420 the other day and it said something along the lines of "the Vintage Classics range includes aircraft, soldiers and ships and we will be adding more subject types soon".

Hopefully the 1/16 motorcycles and the 54mm horsemen.

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

Contrail, Sanger and Nimbus also made the Scimitar in 1/48, all mastered by Gordon Sutcliffe

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

All the same kit under different labels, and it's much cruder than Taro's rendition.

I bet I know what you've asked them for.......  ;D
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! :)

I've asked for the Fairey Rotodyne to have Australian decals, the Boeing B-29 to include RAF decals for the Washington B.1 and if it's possible to release the 1/24 TR7.
