A PBY in 1/32 can be had right now for about $600 in resin. I daresay one in 1/18 would be painfully expensive.

An F-4 Phantom. A beautiful aircraft with a neat history, along with a ton of potential variants.

For me it would be a toss-up between The Dehavlin Hornet, F-7-F Tigercat,Mosquito or a Me 110. :(

I grew up with the F-4 Phantom. I believe it still is the only first line fighter used by the USAF, Marines and Navy. It would be my first JET choice followed by (yes, the twin engined) SR-71.

Sometimes it is hard to get into a project unless you are passionet about it.

Other than the A-10 I would love to build ,

Mossie
Phantom
Me-110
F-82 twin Mustang. But for some reason I feel that this is not a twin just a modified P-51

:D :D :D

I have also always loved the Me-110 but all of that glass has always been daunting . :shock:

Many of my dads squadron mates have expressed interest in an F4 phantom model I'm sure I can convince them the kit would be a good choice if you make a phantom

The P-82 shared almost nothing with the P-51 except the concept of the outer wing and fuselage design. The nose and canopy were similar. You couldn't just take two fuselages and splice a center section between them. The twin booms are much longer with wing roots both outer and inner different. It was Allison powered too rather than Merlin. You can see it better in the three views.

I have been wanting to do the F-82 for some years now . But there has been zero interest .

Here is my original post back in 2008 .

There are a ton of twin-engine aircraft to choose from throughout all periods of aviation history! However, if I had to settle on one (and one that hasn't been made in 1/18 scale yet) I'd go with the DH Mosquito. It large enough for the "wow" factor but not so large as to be unwieldy. Really, it would not take up much more space than the 21c P-38 does... There are also a lot of different variants to choose from, including bomber variants with the glass nose or the fighter-bomber variants with the machine guns, cannon, and bomb bay, and even the night fighter variants. Actually, a night fighter Mosquito would make an awesome paring with the 21c ME-262B night fighter.

My runner-up choice would be the B-25. Again, it's potentially feasible in 1/18 scale without being too unwieldy, but is complicated by the fact that it would need a detailed interior (or at least detailed cockpit, bombardier station, bomb bay, and turret) more so than a plane like the mosquito.

I've always liked the lines on the P-61.

A nightfighter mosquito could be amazing.

I always thought the He 219 looked neat...

Is a Do 335 cheating?
