How about some 1/72 Russian planes that nobody else is making, any suggestions, not large bombers or such? The largest, if it were made would have compare to the Su-27 and F-14.
Only put down planes that you definitely would buy if they were made. How serious are you about buying your choices, rate them 1 - 10, 10 being that you absolutely would buy it. Please do this with each plane you mention. Who knows, FOV is watching and you never know, this might help. Serious replies only please, I don't want to give them false information.

Well..Gaincorp covers these, and they're very nice pieces, but if FOV could cover these airframes with the quality shown on their recently released Stukas and Hurricanes, and at the price point they're selling at, I'd be down for multiples (8+) of each:

In regards to rating the following, they'd all be a 10 in my book, however, the Su-25, Hind and Mig-25 would be an 11

- Su-34
- Su-33
- Su-27

These aren't currently covered by anyone (to my knowledge):
- Su-25
- Mig-21
- Mig-29
- Mig-25
Rotary Winged A/C
- Mi-24D Hind
- KA-50

If in fact FOV reads this, I can't thank you enough for putting out yet another outstanding product (1/72 aircraft and armor) and an even more outstanding price. I ran my tank dry this past weekend trying to track down multiples of the two Stukas, and being a HUGE Dragon fan, can tell you that your aircraft are incredible, and are spot on in terms of fit and finish..kudos.

Regards,
Todd

I-16 (6)
Mig-3 (7)
LaGG-3 (7)
La-5 (7)
La-7 (7)
Yak-1 (7)
Yak-3 (7)
Yak-7 (7)
Yak-9(7)
IL-2 Sturmovik (9)
Mig-15 (9) North Korea, China, Russia, Egypt
Mig-17 (10) North Vietnam, Egypt, Syria
Mig-19 (9) North Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Iraq
Mig-21(10) North Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Russia-Afghanistan
