More so then individual craft I'm particularly interested in what series of planes are the most wanted. I think this would give 21st and BBI an idea of which direction to go in or concentrate on. Unfortunately the poll doesn't allow for second choices and I believe everyone here has a second series they would like to see produced as well. Use the coments section to announce your second choice if you have one. Personally I like Modern the most with the Vietnam series a close second. I've never had much interest in the earlier models but the idea of an "Exotic" series is very interesting.

I have to go with my favorite time period WWII-Korea. Plus, I really want to get ahold of some of the crates my dad flew.

I think Luftwaffe -'46 would be very cool. How about a Horten 229 flying wing. Here are some ideas... http://www.luft46.com/

I'm for the early jets. There's just something classy about the F-86, Mig-15 and other planes from that era.

Vietnam era all the way. A Mig-21 and F-4 settle that.

I would love to see an F-14 Tomcat done in 1/18th scale. This fighter is my favorite Jet.

Where's the None!

Too many damn jets already.











Just kidding, but I do prefer WWII props.

I would love to see more modern jets done. Their is definitely a lack of modern aircraft compared to the abundance of WWII aircraft out there. Almost all of the popular WWII aircraft have been done (and those that have been done, done more than once). Bring on the A-10, etc.!!!!!



:D

Id be up for mode Jets, especially:
SU-27!!!
F-14
A-10
F-22
F-18 E/F (altho a little redundant its a realistic re-tool)
I know you werent lookin for individual aircraft. but i notice that t seems we all want the same things for each era.

I wish how to have worded it but I regret not putting in a "Old Timers" catagory. Jets that have served over more then one catagory and can almost be considered a "Legend". These would include the F-4, T-33 (trainer), F-104, A-7, E-6, B-52 (Impossible I know).

BBI.....so many people want an A-10...and an F-14...if it came down to 1....I don't think anyone would agree


The best thing to do to keep the peace is to make ..


BOTH!!!!!!

:P

HECK YEA!
*why do I have the hulk hogan theme song playing in my head now after I said that?LOL*

I'm for the modern era a/c, although the vietnam era a/c are a cloooooose second. How about "Go ahead and build it, I'll buy it." That would be my vote :) !

Definitely modern era, the A-10, F-14, and F-15 are at the top of my wishlist, and don't ask me to choose between the first two because I couldn't, although I know the A-10 is probably more realistic. Throw in the F-22, AV-8, and A-6 as well, I'd like to see all of these before any other era.

I'm for the modern era as well. I'd still LOVE to see an F-4 Phantom though... and I can't wait for the F-86 and MiG-15.

yes

YES

A phantom and crusader 1/18 would be DEFINITE buys for me!

If BBI does something like an A-7 and A-6 I would be all over those as well. Same thing with the scooter...boggles my mind why 21st century never made a A-4...it's small...and would be cheaper to make then some of their other releases.

NOT TO MENTION

An F-105D Thunderchief

Workhorse of the Vietnam war and I can't believe none of you mentioned it! THUDS RULE!!!!

PHANTOMS PHOREVER
F-4E F-4J

Well, I'm a bit of a hypocrite. I voted for the modern series, but I concur with Shin:

We need the Thunderchief!

Humm Modern seems to be the peoples choice with WWII and Korea coming up a close second. Individually A-10, F-14, F-4 (Even though it is listed in Vietnam Era) is a favorite. I'd like to add that the Century Series would be a good line but I'd take an F-106 over an F-102. Its such a cool aircraft especially in its Interceptor role. When I was in the AF many F-106 pilots would tell me stories of intercepting anything from Soviet Bears to UFO's. Too cool.

I voted modern because....If ever offered in such a large scale, the F-14 Tomcat would be a dream-level item for me. I cannot think of a better looking or more effective modern jet of recent yore. There's absolutely NO telling what I'd pay for a big VF-86 "Jolly Rogers" hi-viz version.

As for the other moderns (and all the rest); I've built 1/32 kits of most of them and even in that larger scale they just do not have the mystique that the old WWII prop jobs do. So even BIGGER versions of them probably won't find an easy home with me.

Lastly, I DEFINITELY fall into the minority around here on the A-10. I just don't understand the huge desire for that one. I DO understand the plane and it's role. It's interesting, unique and I'm glad it's ours, BUT I just couldn't look at one nearly as often as a Spit or 109.

A-10

I literally had to flip an E-coin to decide, and it came up on Heads-Modern, but I'd love to see the 'Nam era/Century Series a/c. I do believe that the A-10 and F-14 are possibly the easiest to recognize by laymen due in part to news coverage and even movies. Since 21st seems to love to take the ball and run with repaints, what better aircraft than the Tomcat, the possibilities are endless, although I'd go as far as to say, I believe we'd see an F-14 from BBi before we'd see one from 21st, as they'll be busy doing 109 repaints from now untill 2020 :lol:

Vietnam Era, F-4, F-105, A-7, Mig-21, Mig-17 Etc...
How can this not be a logical choice? :wink:

Jets I want:

A-10C (the A-10 is my baby, I love her)
Mig-29G (German Model, I love Mig-29s)
Mig-29M (the upgraded beauty)
Su-37 (ultimate fighter fighter baby, but she's a big girl)
F-5 (ok, I'm a nostaglia nut, plus its small)
T-38 (love the T-38, plus a friend of mine is an Instructor Pilot in the T-38C)
F-20 (best light fighter Chuck Yeager ever flew, and he was quoted saying that)
X-29 (I love FSWs) (plus the last four can be made relatively cheaply using common molds for many parts)
F-8 (again nostalgia for the last of the gunfighters)
F-15E (you need to ask why I want a Mudhen?)
F-14D (obvious choice, but want it accurate, not a mix of A, B and D)
Kfir (great foreign beauty, and if need be you can then make a slew of Mirages from the same mold, with some minor changes)
A-6E (I want to reenact scenes from FLight of the Intruder, "Going Downtown")
F-4 (ok had to be said or my F-4 buddies would kill me)
Mig-21 (the F-4 needs somebody to fight)
Mig-17 (the F-8 needs someone to fight)
X-15 (she's just such a cool bird)

ok enough of my list

I just relized, nobody mentioned the F-117. Any interest in that? Probably as distinctive looking as the Warthog. Would be cool to see that and a SR71. Haven't calculated how bird a Blackbird would be, but man that would be impressive.
