A realistic option for merit

[dragon53]

If Merit stays with World War II Navy planes,beside the previously-mentioned F4F wildcat how about:

1. SB2C Helldiver--lots of history and paint schemes (please NO folding wings).
2. F8F Bearcat--no US combat history, but a cool-looking plane with racing history.

I'm still hoping someone will release some 1/18 World War ONE fighters since Admiral apparently went under....a 1/18 Sopwith Camel and SE5A with lots of history, paint schemes and aces.

WOW a 1/18th Devastator would be awesome. If the next model from Merit is finished as well as the Dauntless the type of aircraft may not matter as much!
A Val or Kate could also be a winner.

They CANNOT produce another Dauntless or they will flood the market like some other past manufacturers to be left unamed

[Dauntless]

...more Dauntless' are on the way and the most important one (Midway) is next. I wouldn't worry about flooding the market though, these are popular and well done with not too many left of the first one I suspect.

If continuing with the Navy theme, a Curtiss Helldiver SB2C would be awesome.



Is it possible to make a Kate or Val? The Val sunk more allied shipping than any other axis aircraft.


All three of these have been made in 1:72 diecast by Hobby Master / Skymax in more than 5 different versions each with enough schemes. I would not mind that at all in 1:18.

With Army aircraft, there's more P-40's out there too with the later P-40N. Some of the most unique schemes and nose art on these.
