My proposals are:

1/35 FV432 APC: http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/179/


Nice one - I hadn't noticed that!  Voted! :thumbsup:

Of course I'd prefer it in 1/72nd, but then Revell have a good record of transferring AFV stuff between the scales.


Speaking of 1/72nd armour, may I draw this one to people's attention please:

As far as I know, the M-18 Hellcat has NEVER been made as a 1/72nd model for some odd reason.

1/48 Iskra suddenly got 3000+ votes from nowhere, something shifty going on there..... :unsure:

Think I've successfully submitted an idea for F-106.  Despite many attempts yesterday from the works computer, it didn't want to happen.  Second attempt from my home computer seemed to work, first attempt didn't like the photo. If I just about understand the German, your photo needs to be less than 1MB.
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.

Added a couple more, two Viggen variants. AJ-37 and JA-37.  With the F-106, I'm thinking of popular aircraft that have missed the modern treatment so far and are crying out for a state of the art kit.

I'll post links as and when they go up on the page.

My Leander photo is only 68kb but it won't load: must be more to it than that....

Just created a new idea for a new-tool F-101A Voodoo in 1/72nd. I think that both new ideas and changes to ideas have to be manually approved, so it won't show up yet.

As far as I've found, changes to your existing ideas show up immediately but new ideas seem to need to be manually approved.

As far as images go, it may well not only be a size in bytes but also format and/or size in pixels.

Well tried to register but it won't let me on - apparently I don't know my own name

Hope they don't think I was getting greedy!! Oh, I notice the Consolidated B-32 Dominator is suggested. Voted for that. Given Revell's willingness to tackle fairly esoteric subjects, this might not be so unrealistic. Voted for the C-130 as well.

Somebody's beat me to this morning's bright idea: the F-16XL:

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/237/

They've put it as a new development and not stated a scale, but didn't Monogram do a 1/72nd one, in which case it would just be a matter of reissuing it?

The Wooksta!

Think they did.  Sure Nick got one a while back.

Not  that simple perhaps , aren't Revell/Monogram and Revell De two seperate companies ?

Okay, I've put another idea in: HAL HF-24 Marut in 1/72nd.

Yes, but they frequently share/swap/loan mould tools. Revell Germany have often put old Monogram things out before now.
