Small Scale Military Headquarters

Gentlemen..,
Perhaps this is a topic that has already been covered but not to offend anyone I would like to get some feed back on what our alumi would like to add to their collections in 1/18th scale. The subjects can be anything, air, sea, land covering any person place or thing. Stock or custom, scratch build or production produced, the subjects are only limited to your imagination. Also how much detail would you like, the historic markings, accuracy and so forth and in other scales as well. Lets see.....

I would love to see more modern pieces especially adversaries. I want a T-72, T-55/54, and especially a Hind. For WW II, I still want a King Tiger, Panzer III, and Dauntless. I would also like an F-4 Phantom and A-10 in my collection. I also want all the models to have the usual opening hatches/ detailed cockpits and some weathering. Maybe some interior detail if it doesn't raise the cost too much. However with BBI, Admiral Toys, and 21st out of the game I doubt I'll ever see any of these. Maybe Unimax will add the King Tiger to their Bravo Team line...

Right now I would take just about anything!

Seriously though here is my short list. Right now I am also in favor of some more jets over props.

1. F-4
2. A-10
3. F-8 or A-7

TKO is right! more Jets! The Horton 229!!!

More Japanese planes. Oscars, Kates and Vals.

I would like to see some items that have been announced but never produced
SBD Dauntless
F-4 Phantom
Solomon Island Zero

New items
New WWII Japanese Kate, Val, Tony
P-51 B/C
A-7 Corsair
F3F

In 1/18, I would like to see almost anything that would sell.

But to be realistic, I want the JSI F-15, and Su27.

And PickelHaub's Ho 229, painted, for $400.

A German prime mover for the 88. The 8-ton comes to mind but there are others such as the 18-ton that would be nice.

at this point i''ll be happy with some more power team and chap mei stuff. I think 2011 is going to be another slim year. 2012 will be better.

Very hopeful of a Komet, however.

.........Deuce and a half.

How about some new helicopters- Chinook, MH-53 Pave Low, Ch-46 Sea Knight, H-13 Sioux, or Uh-1D

This is one of the most brought up subjects that comes up almost every 4 months.

We all post out hopes and nothing ever materializes

But if it were magic wand time I have my favs

WW2 Armor
Tiger II
Mause
Ferdenan
Stuart
Hetzer

WW2 Aircraft
Komet
Widcat
P-39
Mig-3
Sturmovic

Modern Armor
Merkava

Modern Aircraft ( semi )
Hind
F-4
The THUD

Ever thought about doing a Stuart, pickel?

An under $100 production, more detailed and updated later model Warhawk, Kittyhawk P-40E/ N.
Something beyond the old Tomahawk P-40 B/C.

I would love to see:

1. Fieseler Storch
2. F-4 Phantom
3. C-47 Skytrain

A happy new year to everybody, this forum is great!

c00per

I would love a S-61. you could do Marine One and so on

Yes I have.

I have run it on several of my polls and it has always been on the bottom of the peoples choices .

Until I've got my Pave Hawk custom kit from Pickel's, nothing else. But still studying skis, overhead cockpit panel, throttle stick for my Black Hawk and Pave Hawk.

Being a WWII guy there are always needs but a few modern planes come to mind also.

WWII: vehicles
1 gmc 6x6 cckw353 long or short wheelbase
2 M8 OR M20 armored car
3 King Tiger
4 opel blitz truck or other german movers

WWII: Airplanes
British Mosquito
B-25 Mitchell
SBD Dauntless
Messerschmitt 110

Modern era: Airplanes
F-4 Phantom
A-10 Thunderbolt II
F-15

Gentlemen..,
All of you suggestions are simply fantastic. What an amazing cross section of aircraft, armor, and figures covering just about anything and everything that has historical importance. I too have become a skeptic and have come to terms that 2011 will be mostly a dry year and one can only hope. I am sure that everyone on the board is aware that skyworks in in the fabrication/prototype stages of an A-10 in 1/18th scale. This most likely will be a wallet burner. If I had the resources myself I would create a small manufacturing production company and would produce as much as possible the subjects that all of you have requested with the level of detail, accuracy along with fit and finish that would rival any of the past, present and future manufacturers all in a plastic injection mold format. And to top it off for under 100 dollars a copy. Am I nuts..? absolutely but I am very hopefull that we will soon have other subjects to collect and there are very skilled members on this board who can make just about anything. Have we covered it all...?? What else would you like to see...?

What do I win???????

A-10!!!!!....I hope that Skyworks/All-Go...whatever come through on this one and doesn't let us down in:

1. The project being completed

2. The cost being resonable.

I would go old school and say :
The A-4
A-6
or the F-4
