Price would prohibit this, but the "Grail" would be a diorama including *multiple* B-17s on a grassy field.

Bonus points for a Gregory Peck figure (hey we got Pattons, and they actually are great figures).

The Skyraider I've been waiting forever to get. I would buy at least 2 of each paint scheme and then more to customize.

Mine is already made, I just can't afford it on a new job's 12 bucks an hour. Been out of work for almost a year here in Florida. Old job was 20 bucks an hour and still would be iffy about $750.

KI 61 Tony (For mega money we should expect mega detail too )
P-39
Hawker Typhoon
Hawker Harrier, any version but a Sea Harrier would be preferred.

Val
Kate
Helldiver
Wildcat

B-47
B-58

Armor:
MK III Centurion

P-39 for World War II

F-4 for Vietnam

and A-10 for modern

For me the Mi-24. It is ugly the same way a pitbull with a mouth full of teeth about to rip your face off is ugly! Who wouldn't want one to pretty up the livingroom

Saturn V. About 20 feet tall in 1/18.
But really the B-17. It has been talked about for quite a while, and I have no doubts that it would be the most popular of the 'holy grails'
But unless it was mass produced, there would be no way that I could afford it. Pickelhaube, Skyworks and others do fantastic work, but I can't afford to spend like $1.5k on a toy/model.

B-25 could realistically be doable and would be awesome.

I would have to say the B-25. I was excited about the prospect of 21c making one, but we all know how that turned out.

Other candidates:
Mosquito
Bf-110
F-4 Phantom
Mig-21

I would like to see a Me110. Maybe in Wespe colours or as a nightfighter with antennas and "schräger Nachtmusik".
Looking at the HPH Homepage an UHU would be great.
Phantom or A10 would be nice too

paulpratt · Post by **paulpratt** » Mon May 17, 2010 10:23 am

If this is purely speculative then i would have to say i would want an ME-264 in four engine configuration. If "they" would make that then nothing is off limits. That is one massive aircraft.

mountian-man · Post by **mountian-man** » Mon May 17, 2010 1:59 pm

My realistic holy grail would be a twin engine bomber....

B-25
B-26
A-20

An out of proportion Hasbro style B-17 playset for GI Joes then maybe?

tom@skyworkstoys · Post by **tom@skyworkstoys** » Mon May 17, 2010 9:18 pm

Looks like the clear winners are the A-10 Warthog, the F-4 Phantom II, and the P-39 Aracobra.

What would you consider a fair price for a kit of these? How about a full finished and painted version?

P39time · Post by **P39time** » Mon May 17, 2010 9:20 pm

Wow would I love a P-39 Airacobra. One in Russian markings please....
