Planes you want that will NEVER get made...

I remember seeing some pics of a 1/18th B-17 from the Nuremberg toy fair/show '01,or '02. It was on GP's site and from a member who lived in Germany. I can't find the pics, anybody remember his name?

well since it will NEVER get made, I would like to see a modern marine V-22 OSPREY. That would be something huh?

A HUGE B-17!

I'll go one up - a B-29! I guess that would be so large, you'd have to call it a playset

Anything WW1. For a WW2 Russian contribution I'd love to see a Stormovik, also a Bf-110 would be nice.

Normandy..... I was thinking the same thing. That post showed the nose section of the B-17 that was to be produced in 1/18 scale (If I remember correctly). The fellow that posted was Dirk U from Germany if that helps. I would like to find out the status of this monster as well

Oh, as for planes that will never be produced in 1/18 scale, I would like to see a T-28 Trojan. Good luck huh?!

Hey guys, I am new here, I was referred to GP then to this site. Finely a place I can talk about 1/18 scale. I think the guys at the 1/16 rc tank web site were getting sick of me talking about "toys". (I also have 5 rc Tamiyas)

I would like to chime in on this topic.

A F-14 and A-10 would look nice with my F/A-18. And give me a B-17 any day, Who cares if it takes up the entire ceiling of my living room. Could you imagine the neighbors comments when they came over?! I could use the landing lights to light the room and power the props to replace the ceiling fan!!

Dauntless Dive Bomber
Wildcat

I keep hoping that some day I will see my Typhoon and Hurricane. Those are two of the finest RAF fighters I can think of outside the Spit. From the American angle, I would like a F4F and a P-39, as far as fighters are concerned. Bombers, I could really do for a B-25 or a B-26. Bigger planes would be fine by me too.

Well..since most of you have covered the pre jet age, I'll take the next logical step:

'Nam Era:
F-105
F-4 (but I'm thinking we'll eventually see one of these!)
A-4 (same as above, holding out hope anyways)
B-52 (pipe dream I know!!!!!)

Modern: (1975-Present)
OA-4M (two seater A-4)
A-6E (my absolute favorite aircraft of all time)
EA-6B
S-3B
Su-34
Mi24 Hind (not fixed wing but still an aircraft..lol)

that about sums it up as I believe we'll see my other favorites..ie: F-14, Brit Tornado, Mig29, Su-27, F-15C and E

I am first in line for the Zero!

What about a Rufe? Seems more practical since most of the tooling will be done.

Other priorities:
F6F Hellcat
P-39 Airacobra
And of course a good P-51.

A F4F Wildkitty would be cool but the gear would be a nightmare.

P B Y-5a it better float too.

p-61

I love the idea of having a Komet and all of its bit and pieces(throw a Kettenkrad in the mix why don't ya). Hopefully, 21st will see the error of its ways and produce a 163 and our much wanted Zero.

I think that the PBY Catalina is one of the most awesome aircraft of WWII. I was amazed to see the cut-away display at the Pensacola NAS Museum. The PBY had a full galley and even bunks and sleeping quarters. My blood boils at the thought of a PBY and of course the Japanese ZEROOOOOOOO!! JD

A 1/18 scale UFO Interceptor.

Bruzzer · Post by **Bruzzer** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 8:44 pm

I've been reading all your posts and everyone wants a Zero. The question I have is early or late model? I like the late models because of the wing cannons and possibly a bomb.

DocTodd · Post by **DocTodd** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 10:29 pm

I second the UFO Interceptor! And while we're at it why not a 1:18 Millenium Falcon!
