No Ostwind?? at least make the 37mm gun so us novices dont have to make the whole thing from scrap or can try to make a flak truck with it! :D

No Natter? its so small you could knock it out in a week! :D

The Panzer III is one i would like to see before i die in 1/18
I want one so badly that i was thinking to cut short a panzer IV chassis,but there are to many differences between the two tanks,so many that is better to build the tank from scratch.this tank is available in 1/32 and 1/16.Not a very powerful tank but this where so common on WWII that i think no collection is complete without one of them.Also the elephant will be a cool tank to have.

Ditto.

My list:

1) I would want to see someone expand into the Soviet War in Afghanistan or at least some turn of the century era ruskies. I would love to own the complete collection of a VDV squad, BMPs, Mi-24s, and for sure T-72s.

2) After seeing True Heroes attempt, an accurate CH-47 Chinook would be welcome.

3) A Leopard A6, one with Heer markings and one with those of the Canadian Forces

4) The SOL, Joel, Mike, The Bots and the Mads (Rowsdower may be the only one to understand what I am talking about here)

Cool, WACO Glider in resin would be nice!
But what about an L.C.V.P. Landing Craft?
Can we say H-I-G-G-I-N-S ?

No UH-1D Huey or Vietnam Cobra? We could really use more helos. As for me, my list includes the Bell 47, F-4 Phantom, CH-47 Chinook, and a MQ-1 Predator.

How about that 1/18 M3A1 Scout Car you raved about? One can be regular and one made up as Patton's personal Scout Car.

Anything else you might have forgotten? Hint: It's 1/6 and has a 20mm and a MG34!!!!!!! Where is that on the bucket list? I must have missed it.

These days, for obvious reasons, I'm thinking in terms of projects I might tackle as 3D printed projects. The primary criterion for being on my "dream list" is that no one else will ever do the project in 1/18. Things I've been thinking about:

US prop:
OV-10
MQ9 Reaper

IJN/JIA prop:
Nakajima Kate
(lots of other Japanese planes ...)

Luftwaffe prop:
Do17
He111
Ju88

US Jets:
A4 Skyhawk
F8
A7

Russian Jets:
MiG 21

"Space-ish:"
X-20
Rutan SpaceShip One

Bucket list amendment.

Huey D ( I already have the Cobra on the list B-29 ) :wink:

Charlies Sdkfz 250

White Scout Car

Patton's Scout Car

I should put the Higgins landing craft on the list . But it would be towards the bottom.

I was also thinking of doing the conning tower of a U-Boat . I think that it would be cool .But that would be towards the bottom as well.

After reading everyone else's list I don't feel as bad about how ambitious mine is.

1. P-39 Airacobra

2. KI-44

3. Hawker Hurricane

4. P-61 Black Widow

5. TA-152 H mod

I will stop at five until I finish the P-39.

I forgot about the R-2800 radial engine.

I wanted to do a full mock up of the double rows maybe sitting on a stand.

Just add that one to the list.

Will you make the gun as a stand alone project like you did for the quad 20mm?
