What would you like to see designed?

[will44]

USS Galena....USS Roanoke......USS Advance (blockade runner A. D. Vance) and several hundred other ACW ships and watercraft. Preferred 1:250, 1:200 and produced to allow even larger scales......r/c boat people are using the paper kits to great advantage......might just generate more interest in the "paper side".

YES I second (or third) a vote for a GOOD Cessna 195 but I would like 1/24......Rich

[dell_zantoz]

Scale figures would be nice. Pilots and tank crews would be great to accompany the models we are building/have built.

...like to see 1:33 worn out german late wwII fighters such as FW 190 (D 9, D 13), BF 109 (G 14, K 4), TA-152 with the typical camouflage RLM 81 brownviolett 82 darkgreen 83 light green...

I'm not normally a ship modeller (those guys are obsessed, not like us rocket modellers ;-), but I would love to build a model of the mighty USCG Mackinaw (WAGB 83). She was an icebreaker who kept shipping moving on the Great Lakes for 62 seasons. She is now a museum.

Armstrong-Whitworth FK8
DeHavilland DH.10 Amiens IIi and/or IIIa
Handley-Page 0/400

The "Windsock Data File" series are probably the best references for all of these.

Kampflieger (Roman) has great RE8 Possibly already on Chris`s site
Roland CII by Janx, is already out there and very good too
Halbestadt CL...Kampflieger again
Dolphin, Lad n Dad and Fiddlers Green

FK8....Good call, none out there to my Knowledge
DH 10...Our very own Bruno (Scissors and Paper) very cool !
HP O400 Bobs card models...And i`ve had a sneak preview of one by Janx...but don`t know if it`s available.

hi,

If you want to do a panzer, t34 or sdk, there plenty of good kits, some Japanese, few Italian or English tank but surprisingly, there only the b1bis from wak (from orel too but very simple and an old r35 from the 80's)
I would definitively love to get a somua s35, r35, hotchkiss h35, fcm 36, etc.. or a laffly w15 that would be fun !


bye

Thought of another I'd like to see combining my interest in old trucks and track laying equipment: a late 20's-early 30's Linn.

[sparrowhawk]

I would like to see the Spitfire PR.MK.XI. Cleanest Spitfire variant of all, because no guns and a windscreen without inset of armoured glass. Add a paint scheme of PRU blue overall and you get the pure shape.
2nd on my list: The Spitfire prototype K5054, the one who started it all.
Cars: Citroen Traction Avant.

Cheers, Martin
