What kind of new models to expect from the big names.

I'm not into floaty things, but a model of HMS Beagle would be nice. One of the more important ships in history, with a nicer legacy than... (stops before it gets political...)

Always wondered why the Saladin/Saracen family weren't made by Airfix or more readily available. VAB/AML series. Always thought the XM808 would have been a good one. There's loads

If my marketing ideas go to plan within the London Headquarters of the Coca-Cola Group for 2025 then you should see the Revell 1/144 Airbus A380 in the traditional red and white or red and black livery or a separate sheet of licensed Coca-Cola decals sold independently.
This could encourage sales of the 1/72 Mach2 DC-9 as FIFA was sponsored by Coca-Cola for the World Cup.
Other 1/72 aircraft model kits could also be painted with the Coca-Cola decals for real world or whatifs.
I'm also pursuing the 1/72 Avro Lincoln freighter, Argentina used them to refrigerate their beef, so a possibility for a cargo transporter for zesty drinks. It's a big ask if I can get Revell on board for my way of thinking as they have connections with VW in the plastic model car, van and truck department.
All I'm asking for is 1% of the annual sales.
As it's the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain (oh no not another Spitfire kit!) All the Spitfire marks of  model kits should be covered by now or at least updated. The efficient should be applied to the other aircraft that took part.

I think there are about 5 years missing there...

Coca-Cola painted airliners sounds cool! There's the diet red and silver scheme too. Something with a narrow fuselage perhaps.

Surely Coca Cola airliners would have to have an area-ruled fuselage.

Not really expecting anything new, unusual or even imaginative. That way I won't be disappointed. If I'm wrong, it's a bonus.

Similar thinking here.

With the new Azur/Frrom Fairey Battle coming out, it would be nice to see some aftermarket companies turn out mods for the bazillion different engine types that it was a test-bed for, but I'm probably stretching my hopes.

De Havilland Dragon and the Rapide probably in 1/48 scale but I don't mind 1/72 as loads of countries flew them as airliners and used in the military .Potential whiffery if the wings or engines are changed.
