1/144 XB-70 Valkyrie and 1/200 (or 1/144) Tupolev Tu-144 Charger… Looks like Edgar and I have similar tastes…!

Then, a re-issue of Hasegawa’s egg-planes…

22

Had an XB-70 in my ear[cough]lier years, the real thing is immense, but I would really love a Yamaha XS-650 vertical twin(need to make a small replica).

Planes that match the same scale as the rest of the Military stuff

Trumpeter, are you listening? I would like to see the following subjects. You are the only company that I think would do this…

  1. 1/72 Gato or Balao class fleet submarine with the same quality as the Amati U-Boat. One that I wont spend the next four years working on. [:D]

  2. 1/48 scale 78’ Elco PT Boat, and late model 80’ Elco PT Boat. Same as above. I don’t want to end up with the same effort as I’ve made on my Bluejacket kit. I need a break! These are great subjects because of the kit bashing possibilities.

  3. 1/24 scale F4U-1 or F4U-1A.

I’m counting on you Trumpeter!

The kits i would love to see the most would be (All in 1/72 scale) a RAM Kangaroo,a LAV3 Coyote ,any CMP Trucks.

26

1/144 B-1A. I’ve seen a pre-production B-1 in this scale but not the production model.

27

Being a true Vietnam buff and wanting so bad to own one myself, I would love to see an injection molded 1/32 scale A-1H Skyraider. The predecessor to the plane that I currently work on for the AF and one fine sounding machine. Saw my first one up close and personal at OshKosh and absolutely fell even more in love with it!

Dead right, Edgar!
I’d like to build both and see. Been wanting to build the Valkyrie ever since the day I saw the Valkyrie - Starfighter collision and the resulting crash on ‘Wings’.

Add the B-1 to the list. Me thinks that a lot of inspiration for that beautiful bomber came from the XB-70.

What say you?

30

A 1/48 B-32 Dominator

31

I’d like to see Bandai produce any Gear from the Heavy Gear license in 1/38 scale.

32

A new tool of the 68-72 Opel GT.

33

1:48 scale B-26 Marauder

34

I would be interested in any scale Convair 580 Metropolitan. I used to travel on this plane in the US and in Finland. What a blast.

35

An Aprilia racing bike. The most amazing crotch rocket i have ever seen! [:p] Anyone else in here not into planes or boats?

36

How about a 1/72 douglas B-18. I can think of at least 4 versions that can be made just by changing the nose. My other choice is the Douglas C-54/DC-4.

37

First, I want to get another Tamiya T-55. IMHO, it’s the best armor kit produced!!! I would like to see these kits done in plastic:

T-62
Chieftain
Centurion
Saracen
Humber
FAV (once on the way from DML, but canceled)

The next kits I buy will be the Trumpeter MLRS kit and the Challenger 2.

38

A Russian BT-7 or British Crusader by Tamiya or Dragon. I’ve always liked the Maryland class BB’s of 1941 era and would like it in 1/350 scale.

39

What I would like to have.

1/72 KC-10
1/72 C-141
1/72 747-400
1/48 P-3 Orion
1/48 Vulcan
1/48 B-57Canberra
1/48 B-47
1/35 Mi-24 Hind
1/32 X-15

I guess the top 2 for me would be a 1/48 E-2 Hawkeye and a 1/35 M-4,5,or 6 high speed tractor.

Tamiya are you listening???[:D]

A new 1/48 S-3 Viking would be nice too though the old esci isn’t bad for it’s age. An HH-53 and an OV-10 Bronco in 1/48 would be cool if Tamiya did it too.

Did I say 2 up there?[:D]
