If 21C can do an Italian fighter nothing is out of the question. Which obscure warbird would you love to see?

I wouldn't call a "Val" obsure but that's where my vote went.

my vote goes to P82!!!!!

Many of the planes on the list are not exactly "obscure" to a person who has read many history books.

You forgot one that would look really cool in 1/32nd - the P82 (later F82) Twin Mustang. Built just too late for WW2, it saw service in Korea. Operated in both natural metal and all-black nightfighter schemes.

I voted for Boulton-Paul Defiant, but why not a P.11c?

You need a Fairey Swordfish on your poll, I'd totally vote for one of those...

I like the Defiant too. But I had to make a choice so I went with the P39. Actually if it came down to the Defiant, Swordfish, P39 or Me110(should be on the list) I would have to go with "all of the above"...

Fiesler or ME 110/210/410.

a 1/32 110C(Early war model) or G(Heavy Fighter or Nachtjäger) model would still be smaller than a 1/18 TBF.

So that's a good sign.

From the list, I'd like the Mig 3. There's just something about the looks of that fighter that I like. The Val would have been my other choice - that aircraft was responsible for the loss of alot of allied shipping early in the Pacific theater of WWII, and would make a great counterpart to the 32x Zero :)

They can sell it in USN paint, USMC Midway paint, RAAF, Dutch, and Finn colors.

But since we're on the 1/32nd side of the board - how about a JU-88A4 or B17? PLEASE! Tons of potential repaints and repeat sales with either bird!

thinking back to when I was a kid, I remember the GI joe USS FLAGG, so a toy can never be too big, and I thought my jets, The Sky Striker and Rattler were big toys, the carrier was awesome in scope.

So big planes..hooray!!

I know none of these planes are "obscure" to us on this forum but the average Joe at Wally World would not recognize them.

I too would love to see an ME 110 but I am not sure 21C wants to make the change to larger 1/32 planes. Lets hope they peruse this sight and take a look at the poll.

Remember, after the Macchi we may get to see one or more of the planes I listed above!

Voted for the Il-2 Sturmovik...in my opinion we need more Russian stuff in general and the Ilyushin was one of the best (if not the best) ground attack planes of WWII, though hardly "obscure", the Soviets cranked out nearly 40,000 of them.

IL-2 an obscure aircraft? Isn't the Il-2 the most produced combat AC of all time? This hobby has some odd notions. I wouldn't call the "Val", "Tony", Typhoon, or the P-39 obscure either. I voted for the "Black Death".
