Don’t know about you, but I could do with a 1/144 or a 1/200 Tupolev Tu-144… [:p]
What’s the airliner you are dreaming about???
I wouldn’t mind seeing a 1/144 DC-8 series come around. How about it, Minicraft?

i was talking to a friend and he says its been announced that a DC-8 series will be done. I can’t remember if its minicraft though, but probably.
I would like to see a nice short version 727.
Hmmm… Maybe a Illushin 86 or 62… Or maybe the 747-400 in Air India livery…
Cheers,

Eagle334, you can always try the VEB 1/100 727-100… I started one a couple of years ago. The basic shape is there, and then there’s your talent and plenty of opportunities…
A 1/72 or 1/48 BAe 146 has been on my wish list for a long time.
I’d like to see a lot of the smaller short haul birds scaled up to 1/72 from traditional 1/144
Convair 240/340/440, Injection molded 1/72 or better (is 1/48 too much to hope for?). Dad flew C-131D’s and has been after me to find and build one. I know about the Proteus release, but it’s a bit steep. I see it made it into FSM’s suvey again, so maybe there’s a chance. D. Blackwell
Just saw that Minicraft is releasing a 1/144 DC-8 and 727-200, which makes me very happy!
Are there any Constellations out there?
Built a little 1/144 Connie many moons ago, but can’t remember the maker…Revell? Molded in white, as I recall.
The Revell & Monogram Connies are box scale. Probably come out to 1/131st or something like that. Minicraft’s 1/144 Connies are nice little kits. If ya want bigger, Heller’s 1/72 Connies can be built up into impressive models…
In the Centennial Year of the Ford Motor Company, it would be nice to have a decent 1/48 Ford Tri-Motor. It is as important as the DC-3. How about that Revell/Monogram ?
I like the idea of a 1:48 Ford Trimotor, too. How about a 1:48 Lockheed Electra? (I keep picturing a P-3 conversion).
FITTER out
uhmmm… 1:72 Braniff B747SP.
Cheers
1/72nd Concorde
OPS!
My favorite airliner would be the marvelous DC-8/71F just like the one i used to fly (ha ha ha [}:)] ) ( XA-MAX, N871MY)
My Best Regards
Hector.
As an airliner? Heh heh heh!
Monogram has had the bomber version out for years in 1/48. B-24D and B-24J.
Yep, I’ll go for Tu-144.
The 1/72 Concorde and 747SP are on the market and have been for a while. It’s a UK company that produce them. I can picture their ‘logo’ but can’t remember their name… (I’ll get back to you on that!) It’s vacuform, though, (with a few metal bits) and a lot of work is needed… They are also rather expensive kits!
DJmodels, I think that’s Aircraft In Miniature. Their website is:
I want their DC-10 with the KC-10 conversion kit. Also wouldn’t mind having their 747 with the extra hardware to mount the Space Shuttle on top. That would be most impressive in 1/72!
The expensive price would be one thing, but then I’d have to pay to ship 'em to the U.S.
