Which one would you purchase?

A designer of high quality models has contacted me and asked which one of the following models would be my first choice that I would purchase when released.
I thought that it would be good to put the question on the forum to get a wider opinion.
All are two engine aircraft and the scale would be 1/33.

Please vote for your first choice that you would purchase. Please one vote only.

Close call for me. I voted for the G4M Rikko, but up until the time I pushed the button my finger was hovering over the Wellington. The Łoś and He-111H are certainly very worthy aircraft. But if I can only vote for one, the G4M has my vote.

Looks like the Wimpy is in the lead and the poor Łoś is trailing by a wide margin.

I will commit to purchasing whichever model turns out to be the one produced. However, I cannot commit to actually building it.

I had to go Wellington. There aren't many models of this one around. But, I just about clicked for the He-111. There's just something about the sleek nose and fuselage of the 111 that I love.

I voted for the Heinkel. I've had a weak spot for it ever since the Battle of Britain movie was first released.

I'm in for the Wellington too...the Los and -111 have been covered by some pretty good models but the Wellington is kinda neglected especially in the larger scales...Betty I can take or leave...

Dear Jim:
I voted for the wellington be fore I looked other folks replys. I just finished reading a very strange Sci Fi book from England where the protagenist flew the wellington.
Interesting,
Miles
