Mark Deliduka Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 I also have quite the wish list of models I'd love to see. In Aircraft, I second Phil Peterson's request for a 1/72 scale injection molded plastic C-5A Galaxy and a C-17. Long overdue in my opinion! I'd also love to see a 1/72 scale Boeing 747; especially if it has markings for Air Force One. In Armor, the following have never been done in injection molded plaastic and I'd love to see them: M-41 Walker Bulldog M-109 Paladin and all variants (all kinds of awesome versions and decal options to do!) M-47 Patton Hawk Missile battery M-279(?) MRLS Sergeant York AA gun German Gepard AA gun system Russian ZSU 23-4 Shilka SA 6 Mobile SAM system SA11 Mobile SAM system Japanese GSDF APC Japanese GSDF AA system Japanese GSDF scout vehicles. Israeli M-50 and M-51 Shermans. Dragon has them in 1/35th; no reason they can't shrink them down. I'm sure there's more, but I can't imagine them yet off the top of my head. I'll update when I do.
RGronovius Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 It looks like a resin M103A2 is coming soon. Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, this thing was extremely under powered (or so a couple of old 103 tankers told me a few years back). http://www.network54.com/Forum/47210/thread/1340392410/USA+Heavy+Tank+M103A2+in+1-72+from+OKB+Grigorov
Mark Deliduka Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks Rob! Yeah, I saw that this morning. Could be something to look into...
RGronovius Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 $90 on eBay, $75 for the M103A1 at Free Time Hobbies.
ewahl Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 Heller did the 1/72 Lockheed Constellation in various forms and the Douglas DC-6/C-118. I'd like to see the end of the piston airliners with a Douglas DC-7C. Perhaps Hasegawa could produce a 1/72 Lockheed Electra airliner version of the P-3C Orion.
Ralph Nardone Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 To do it justice, an Electra would have to be a completely new tool--while loosely based on the Electra, the P-3 is much different from nose to tail. That being said, I doubt Hasegawa would do it, but someone like Roden might--even in 1/144 scale. It would be welcome since Minicraft's abomination is just so bad. It sure would beat using Welsh Models' fuselage on a much-modified Arii P-3 wing... R
