      Okay I'm begging for a 1/48 Ju388 and a Do217K or M and throw in a He 111Z ! As for the 1/12 Moto's a 85/86 GSXR750 is direly needed along with some TT sidecars!!!

        I am currently working on the 48th scale Ar-234 B-2/N. Modified for pilot and radar operator as well as added some panel wiring, I can't wait to see how it will look once together...

          Allyne - they may be cheap but I would rather pay three or four times the price for something that is well engineered. Their Arado 196 was good, I agree, but that was clearly an exception and a fluke.

            Depends on what you class as well engineered. I have the Revell He111, Ju88 and He219 1/32 kits and to me they are more than enough for my modelling skills and budget. I cannot justify spending more then that on kits

              Ah but it was MY wishlist Allyne....

              I do appreciate that the cheap Revell kits have a place but being in the middle of the JU88 build I would much prefer that such a complex aircraft had the kind of precise engineering and fit of Tammy, Trump and Hassy. Poor and vague location points, bad fit and those terrible instruction sheets Revell provide are driving me up the wall!

                More "Korean War" era figures would be nice, mainly civilian as you can improvise the military stuff to an extent.

                        I've got a bit of a fascination with experimental aircraft, and would love a model of the soviet Ekranoplan, the largest of these ground effect aircraft was known as the 'Caspian Sea Monster' it was a huge plane so would have to be in a smallish scale, here's a pic. M

                            Not really a model but still plastic ......

                            You know DVDs have a moulded shape which includes cutouts to get your fingers underneath to lift out the DVD? Why do 90% of these cutouts have a sort of 'wall' which is the same height as the rest of the moulding around the DVD so you STILL can't get your fingers in there!:rant:

                            How about if some good designer had a go at producing DVD boxes which worked properly?

                              Don't know if this counts but do the same kit but with many different schemes.

                              One kit, three decal scheme options per box, three (or more) boxings, say Panzer III from every theater it was in, East, West, Italy, North Africa, etc. so same model kit but you choose which scheme you want OOB.

                              Then you don't have to trawl the web looking for after market decals for your particular build. Or if you want to build lots of the same vehicle with lots of different markings, you can.

                              Just a thought.

                              Oh, and some "Dog fight doubles" from other conflicts, such as Korea, Vietnan, Three Day War, etc.
