What would you like to see in 2007?

Post by Sabrefan » Mon Jan 01, 2007 8:21 am

If you could have any airplane model made, what would you like to see in 2007? For me, I would really like to see an F4F Wildcat, but that is just one on my list. :D

I know it's a pipe dream, but first and foremost, I would like to see one of the manufacturer's show the guts to say "forget the other guys, let's finally do the A-10". I don't care if they keep it top secret until it ships to retailers so no one else finds out (although that might require a "secrecy or death" policy in the Chinese factories). But I want to see an A-10!!!

Otherwise, a twin-engine German fighter (Me-110/He-111) would be very cool, and for the Allies, a Hurricane, P-61, and (dreaming again) a B-25 or at least, Aferg's DH Mosquito.

Armor? Jagdpanther! And how about some more US armor to balance things out: M26 Pershing, M5 Stuart, or for something different, an M3 Lee/Grant? Maybe a Brit tank? Or Russian T-34?


There's my wish list. Come on Santa, you have 358 days to get cracking ;)

I'm going to bend the rules a bit, as I can't decide between a few faves.

1. F-14

2. A-10

3. F-15E

Wishful thinking I know, but wouldn't these planes be great in 1/18 scale?! :shock:

My wish for 2007 would be simple:
I'd like to see a WWII wave like in the early days of 2000.
2 new tanks (1 german, 1 US),
2 new cars, maybe scoutcars (1 german, 1 US),
2 new planes (1 german, 1 US)
and a new wave of figures (let's say 6 germans vs. 6 US).
This way noone could complain. Aircraft guys could be happy, armor guys could be happy and figure fans also.

I'd like to wish for more modern armor stuff (T-72, Hind, MLRS, M109, LAV-AT, etc), but I know 1/18 modern armor doesn't sell well, so I guess world peace is a good alternative...

I would love to see a new wave of modern releases.
1. Regular infantry
2. The A10 or a Harrier for ground support of course
3. A Stryker
4. Some sort of heavy transport truck
5. Maybe a crack at a chinook or a pave hawk

i'd like to see all of shadow83's list plus most of the other suggestions here. But also a Landrover and a Sea king in both US and British colours would be nice and perhaps a Tornado :D

If you could have any airplane model made, what would you like to see in 2007?
Basically, I'd like to see ANYTHING Russian in a model from 21C, a tank, a truck, a gun, a plane, ANYTHING :roll: For starters, a T-34 of just about type would be a welcome addition and in the aircraft department, how about a Sturmovik?? Scale is optional, 32X or XD either one would suit me fine. Pic here... http://www.modellbau-universe.de/upload ... 483407.jpg

I'll stay simple.

1) the 4 BBi Modern Figs we've seen previews of

2) The German DAK figs from 21C

3) More PAK40s

4) The WC51 and kubelwagen rereleased

5) the Tuskeegee P51

6) for all you who went through the effort, your "Four for Victory" P51

7) and for a stretch, a MIG15UTI or Mig17

oh yeah, and GI Joe DTC Wave 4 :wink:

Apart from agreeing with Timbo but in reverse order, He 162 first!

I'd like to see the 21stCT Ju87 Stuka re-tooled to a D/G model, to me this is not such an unrealistic idea / request and from an economic perspective it would be far cheaper for 21stCT than completely new aircraft.

Well, here is my wishes for 2007. First, the three manufacturers to work together so we get what we would like to have in the next coming years without all the secrecy we have now. Second, WalMart to start selling all of 21st's toys online so we don't have to run around looking for them. Third, since I'm wishing for long shots, to hit the Mega Millions lottery (84 million right now). :wink:

Russian and British army builders. One or two figures in a six pack of the standard german/US troops would be a great start. Kinda like they are doing with the DAK.

New tanks, not repaints..

Oh and with the apparently smashing success of the Maltier and Opel Blitz in 32x, seems obvious those should make an appearance in 1:18...
