I'll start the ball rolling with some from Airfix.



What other sets would people want to see

1) post WW2 aircraft support vehicles

2) Home Guard set

5) Japanese Airfield support set

6) Luftwaffe support set

7) Italian airfield support set

Dunkirk set - reboxing of existing vehicles with vacuform beach or mole  Bedfords and maybe Ambulance  and boots set

1/35 CH-53D - from anyone (in styrene) ... except, maybe, Dragon/DML



Oh, & a 1/35 Namer APC/IFV (AFV Club/Meng, preferred)

[AeroplaneDriver]

Tamiya quality 1/48 Jaguar. 

[zenrat]

Well, as your asking...

1/25 full detail injection kits of Australian Fords, Holdens and Valiants.  Also a Triumph Herald and a 1966 Ford Econoline van (US model).

1/72 modern injection kits of Schneider Trophy contenders (from all nations), Saunders Roe SR.A/1, Sea Vixen and Javelin.

1/48 Panzer IV Ausf D,  In fact, more armour in this scale, particularly post war Soviet stuff.

[PR19_Kit]

A Ukranian mainstream injection moulded 1/72 version of one of Dizzy's amazing builds, done in the fond belief that it's a REAL aeroplane. 

[tigercat]

I can see the film now PR's Nineteen or how a group of  modelers came together to convince the world that a  what if  model was actually an obscure variant from behind the iron curtain .....

[NARSES2]

Mainstream 72 injection:

Spitfire mk XIV
DH Mosquito B.XVI
Supermarine Attacker
Blackburn Skua

Would like to see all of the above by Airfix together with new tools for :-

Hawker Tempest Mk II
Hawker Sea Fury

[The Wooksta!]

I'd think we're more likely to get the Tempest II from Eduard in 72nd - they're doing the family in 48th, so no doubt they'll scale them down in due course.  If I were being honest, I'd rather Eduard did the Tempest rather than Airfix because they might then do the Spitfire XIV I'd much rather have.  The bloody Czechs are out to bankrupt me vis a vis Spitfires and Hornets.

Airfix *might* do a 72 Sea Fury, but Trumpeter have one out so they may not bother, competition and all that, although the Trumpeter kit makes no money for Airfix and they have all the LIDAR data from the 48th kit.

Given their current form, I'd put money on either a 72nd Scimitar or Sea Vixen to go with the new tool Brick and F4s.

[PR19_Kit]

An modern Airfix tooled Scimitar would be wonderful, even though I have a couple of Skybirds examples.

A modern Puma would be good too, and in the car world I'd love a 1/24 and/or 1/32 Jaguar XJ6. The 1976 XJC Coupe for preference, but otherwise the later X300 or X350 series.

[The Wooksta!]

I forgot about motors.

24th Aston Martin DB7 GT Coupe.
24th Jaguar XK

[kerick]

Is there an up to date V-22 out there?
The latest versions of a large number of aircraft and armor vehicles would be awesome.

[tigercat]

Some more variety in 1:72 small craft would be nice 

Dog Boat and maybe some of the Italian M.A.S boats  in  injection plastic

[kitbasher]

1/72 Sea Vixen (preferably an FAW2), Scimitar, Javelin (preferably an FAW9), Canberra B2/B6, Islander, Otter.  A well-engineered Hart providing scope for follow-on kits of (or conversions for) variants (Demon/Audax/Hart Trainer/Hind/Hardy).

All been done before but not without shortcomings.  And the earlier offerings are mostly now ancient.
