Steven-434888 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I can't wait to see what follows the 1/24 Typhoons. On that basis, I can only reiterate my plea that the first 'Super Kit' gets a super makeover, so a completely new Spitfire Mk.I would do it for me.Having said that, I'll require hospitalisation if a 1/24 Beaufighter becomes reality. Mmmmmmm........Beaufighter....Steve von Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Kavanagh Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Being selfish and wanting really nice kits for my Battle of Britain obsession, I'd like to see new tool Fairey Battle, Handley Page Hampden, Bristol Beaufighter MkI, plus a Junkers Ju88A-1 (A-5 at a pinch). 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Kavanagh Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 While a Ju88A-1 would be great, an A-5 would be okay. The airframe is the same for the more numerous A-4, with just engines and other minor details different. But that's enough of my obsession!

If you're interested Heather, Zvezda do a fairly decent Ju-88A-5, although an Airfix re-tool would be better of course.By the way, the A-5 airframe was almost identical to the A-1, but with the A-4 extended wingtips.

If something better turns up, I might look at it again. So, the basic family resemblance between the early-ish Ju88 marks might play into a kit designer's hands. One tool for the basic fuselage, perhaps options for wings and tail... Dream on! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth ONeill Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 1/24 Spitfire IX or XIV (low back) please? I know some people keep neeping on about another early 6-stub Spitfire but I'd certainly be more likely to buy a 12-stub Merlin or Griffin variant.

Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I would still love to see the following all 1/72;Avro ManchesterAvro LincolnAvro Vulcan (New Tool)Junkers Ju 88A-1/5Buccaneer S2 (new tool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Paul B Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Some interesting ideas here. Some more 1/72 Jets would be great (Hunter, Buccaneer, Sea Vixen and a new Vulcan) and some of the neglected WW2 subjects already mentioned (Ju88, Hampden, Battle).Beyond aircraft I would love to see vehicles make a comeback - D-Day 75th Anniversary is in 2019 sonew toolings of the Sherman, Panzer IV, Panther, M3 Half Track, Sdkfz 251 and others would be welcome - maybe in 1/72 rather than 1/76 along with a 'V-Bomber Resupply set' to acompany the Victor and desired new Vulcan.Finally how about taking all that 1/24 experience and putting it into a Tank Model - I suspect it would arouse interest and sell an initial batch of 6,000 (I doubt I could afford one or have the space to display it but it would certainly turn heads). I reckon a Sherman would be good (Tiger 1 is just too obvious a choice but) or maybe a Comet or Cold War era vehicle like a Chieftain, M60 or T55/62. This wold be an interesting new scale for AFV modellers and could catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonF Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just a quick short list (as the true wishlist which is rather longer).WW1 - New tanks, Camel and F2B (I was hoping for 2018 anniversaries but hey ho!)Between wars - Avro 504 (obviously could also be backdated). Bulldog, Fury, Hart family.WW2 - LCM (to proper 1/72), Sherman (also for the LCM) Hurricane II or IV (double appeal with accuracy for older modellers, and bombs/rockets/big boom sticks for younger ones). Meteor I (which then covers up to Mk.IV), Aichi Val (which was noticeably absent from the Pearl Harbor sets)., Mid/late P-40s, pointy tail B-17s... Postwar - Single seat Vampires (dare I ask for NFs?) small scale Meteors, ASW Seakings, small Javelin, ...and that's just the tip of the iceberg, ... Finally as ships and vehicles have been barely whispered how about new WW2 small boats and Airfield vehicles that could do with new 21at century moulds.

taurus12 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 What'd the chance of theShackleton being scaled up to 1/48th? Or the Whitley, come to think of it. Being as I'm here, my wishlist extends to Halifax, Stirling, Hampden and mk14/18 Spitfire as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2B Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 What's a BAE cannbre? That's a new one on me.Sorry I mispelt it I ment to say Canberra But that's me I guess Airfix did a new tool EE Canberra B.1(8) in 2009 which was probably 1 of the first new tools following the Hornby take over. This was followed by the Canberra PR.9 which was the same kit with new parts. Admittedly the kits are not as good as the most recent new tools, but they are still far better than the original Airfix Canberra. With these recent kits of the Canberra it's not likely Airfix will do them again, especially with so many old tool kits that are in desparate need of re-tooling!

Philip Creasey Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 You will all have seen the prices achieved on a certain auction site for some Airfix kits of well known aircraft. Why don't Airfix cash in on this & undercut those prices & boost profits by reissuing the 1/48 & 1/72 TSR2 ; 1/48 Javelin? ; 1/48 Sea Vixen ; 1/72 Vickers Valiant. The demand is there still surely?

rafale Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yes Paul, I agree with you. I think they should include maybe a UH 60, an Apache, a Kamov, a Wessex UH5 and a few other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafale Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 A Mirage III, a Mirage 2000 and a Dassault Rafale in 1/72 would be great too. I love French aircraft. The Rafale is one of my favorite modern aircrafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
