B-17

Post by MCalamari » Sun May 16, 2010 8:56 am

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.

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

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.
Best,

How much?

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?
