Global Scale Modeller

Hi All,

have a question I would like to put out to you, If you could ask any model company to build any subject from any time period in plastic what would it be ?


For me I would love DML to make 1/35 world war figures and the armor



what would you wish for ?



tell me what you think,


Shane.

I know that they exist, but I would like to see more availability of the C-47 Skytrain. I've been dying to get my hands on one, but they're a rare find and when you do find one they're really expensive.

I think a good Blackburn buccaneer in 1:48 would be great yes I know there is the airfix one but its a but of a nightmare so a modern tooling would go down very well.

More trains.

WHAT!?!?

Every WWII aircraft kit released in 1/35.
I'd love to have my armour and and aircraft that I build in my favourite scale.

I know they've been done (not very well) in the past but I'd like to see a decent company like Dragon or Tamiya do some things form the film Aliens.
Like a 1/35 APC
a 1/35 Ripley in the Power lifter
and a 1/48 or 1/35 (would be huge) Dropship
and of course a full set of the Marines in 1/35 with some aliens too.

That would blow me away.

I would like Airfix to make a 1/48 Angel Interceptor and Eduard to a PE set for it as well as the whole range of spectrum vehicles and characters in 1/48.

I also think World War One is underrepresented in 1/35 as are British WW2 Troops

If they came out I would be a happy and poor man

Id love a drop ship in 1/48 be awesome.

I quiver with the thought.... Can I change mine?
What he said!!

Some modern British troops in 1/35 would be good. There are numerous 1/35 modern British AFVs, but no troops to go with them on diorama's. I think an Afghan themed Warrior IFV, full RPG mesh etc, pulled up with a section of troops busting out the back would be awesome!

The whole Aliens universe (inc Prometheus) in model form

Some more civilian aircraft.

Just had a thought all the transformers from the 80s would be great been watching them with my son we have all 4 seasons and we love them.

Ooh yeah the Prometheus would be awesome - loads of clear bits lol

Is anyone writing these down? We should start a commission. Haha

I'd second the Prometheus stuff

Also in 1/32 Aircraft, would like to see a new tool GR1 Harrier for memory's of my teens in RAF Wildenrath in Germany, new tool GR-4 Tornado, Buccaneer, Jaguar for my current memory's near RAF Lossiemouth, where I'd put them I don't know ? but would worry about that later.

What about a 1/32 Sea King too? with folded rotor blade option it would be doable and displayable.

Tamiya 1/12 Blue Rizla Suzuki MotoGP Bike and lots more 80's street bike Superbikes like Honda CBX1000 six and same in 1/6 too.

I don't ask for much do I

One things for sure, Tamiya, Trumpeter and co don't have to worry about running out of new subject matter for a very very long time.

I'd like that too.

Defo stuff from aliens, the marines dropship and APC and the loader robot machine thing. I know the kits exist but they are rare as hell and costly.


For me I would love to see some 70 & 80's fords mk1 and 2 escorts, mk3 rs1600i, series 1 and 2 rs turbo's etc.

The one kit I would love to have is revels mk2 escort, I remember walking past one a few years ago in hobby craft and kick myself for not buying it as they are rare now and fetch over £50

I would like to see a douglas c-47 skytrain with full interior, and some paratrooper model to go with it.

Lee wrote:The whole Aliens universe (inc Prometheus) in model form

The Prometheus. yes please....
Unfortunately I could never ever do it justice. It would take someone with skills to bring that to life..

Esci used to do a Mk 2 Ford Escort RS rally car in Eton Yale blue and Rothmans white, and a clear skin one too, but rare as they come,
I doubt they could do the Rothmans one any more cos of the advertising
but would love to see one in 1/24
and the 70s & 80s JPS F1 cars, with the full gold decals , certainly wouldn't make me start smoking lol
would be good to see a series of rally cars from the 70's to present day, I know Tamiya did quire a few but not so may about now, Quattro is another like gold but it was a but of a crude kit, ho hum we can all dream

Thinking of civil Aircraft, in 1/72 how about a 737 or one eleven or even some Lear jets or some older like the Electra or DC 4

that would be awesome!! What about a de havland commerce or a tri-star.

some nice ideas fellows, certainly can see the trend for big models here

what of a WW1 1/72 Zeppelin that would be so cool on the shelf or hanging on the ceiling



thanks for sharing gents



Shane.

A nice new tooling RAF Chinook in 1/48 scale.

From one of the better kit companies the Italeri really doesn't cut it without a lot of work.

Not heard good things about it.

Which is a shame as its quite an important aircraft for the RAF.

I´d like to see in plastic a Panzerkampfwagen III A (there is only an expensive resin model available). Apart from that i´m happy already, Most brands still present us new Wehrmacht vehicles every year.

It would be good to see that Mk 2 Escort released again. The Revell model is a re-release of the old ESCI kit.

I would like to see some old British Trucks released in 1/24(1/25 even). Emhar released the old Bedford. It would be good to see some more types to go with it.

I am somewhat surprised that there has never been a 1/24(1/25) Morris Minor. Revell could always make use of some of the engine parts from their Mini Cooper to use for a late model Minor.

A 1/48 Dragon Rapide would be rather nice.

Kawasaki zrx1200r Eddy Lawson rep in cars triumph tr6 they do the tr5 cartina lotus and a mk2 jag

I think world leader aircraft would be a good idea. Air Force One and Marine One for examples. I do like the idea of a zeppelin too though!

Just thought of another couple
1:350 Leander Class Frigate
1;350 Amazon Class Frigate
1:350 HMS Fearless
1/350 HMS Ark Royal (the 70's one)

And just to be really daft
1/24 Lancaster with lights, motorised engines, sound,

some very nice ideas their lads




shane.

I'm a huge starcraft fan so I would love to see any figure or even a ship (battlecrusier, carrier, etc) in either 1/24 or 1/35 scale. I've been coming across a lot of paper models of these, but a plastic one would just seal the deal.

A 1:32 Hammerhead Fighter and Chig fighter from Space Above and Beyond would be great

1/350 HMS Fearless would be cool.

I'm going to plump for the Babylon 5 universe, the White Stars in 1/35, all the heavy cruisers in 1/350, Babylon 5 in 1/700

Lol Babylon 5 in 1:700 would be about 7 meters long - what a kit that would be

With full interior detailing

PE to make you go insane

I only said I'd like to see it in plastic, wouldn't be able to afford it, or the pallet of PE

Also don't think I'd be married to MrsModeller very long ...


Mind you if DeAgostini did it as a part work magazine (complete in 1000 monthly episodes @ £12.99 a month)

Ah... now that's more like it.
Sign me up!!

I'd like to try my luck a figurines, so some Metro Last Light, Dark Souls and Diablo III.
Maybe they are out there, if so point me in the right direction please.

or imagine a 1/72 Bismarck ! with superstructure interiors

longlance67 wrote:or imagine a 1/72 Bismarck ! with superstructure interiors

Math is an alien language to me but would that be the size of a mini van? Or 70's era American station wagon?

about that I would say, you'd have to build a purpose built shed to just to display it

Love a 1:48 Thundebird 2 with all the vehicles. Oh and a garage to display it.
