Just sorting through my 3-view folder, and I thought I'd get some opinions...

Possibility= design it! or Overdone= Been there done that

*A-10= Possibility, or over done?

*P-61 Black Widow= Possibility?

*Beechcraft C-45= Possibility?

*Westland Lysander= ??

*Short Skyvan= Anybody want one?

*F-14 Tomcat= Do we need a new model?

*Dehavilland Vampire= Possibility?

*F-104= Should I?

*Anything SAAB (Viggen, Gripen)= If I build it, will they come?

Just finished and uploaded 3 versions of the Douglas F3D to ecardmodels. Next up is the Lake LA-4 Buccaneer.

Nice choice to do the Lake! Fun little bird. I've seen them a few times.

I was just commenting to Chris the other day that ecard models (and the online digital model offering in general) is severely lacking in detailed kits of the "4th generation" of fighters. F4, F5, F14, F15, F16 - there are very few if any moderately detailed or better models of these available in digital format. Your choices are either simple models, or pre-printed full detail kits (with the exception of Model Art's F15 kits). But even MA's are as expensive as the pre-printed stuff.

I'd like to see a line of these 4th generation fighters, especially those mentioned above, around 1:48 or 1:72 scale, with armaments, gear, and cockpits. Similar to the F-18 kits that Chris Stahl has recently developed, at a reasonable price on par with the other ecardmodels offerings.

So that all said, my vote is YES on the F-14!

Edit: I'm also very interested in your recently offered F16XL models on ecardmodels. I plan to buy one to see how it looks - it sounds to be exactly the quality of kit I've been describing. Any plans to modify it to a production F16 kit?

Just clicked on Oddball Productions, Facebook says it isn't available just now!

A p-61 would be nice, the Fresno/Yosemite Internation Airport was orginally Hammer Armhy airfield, was a training base for b-24's and P-61's, used to live near Fresnop, my dad was stationed at Hammer for a bit in WWII
