Which obscure plane would you love?
If 21C can do an Italian fighter nothing is out of the question. Which obscure warbird would you love to see?

my vote goes to P82!!!!!
Many of the planes on the list are not exactly "obscure" to a person who has read many history books.
You forgot one that would look really cool in 1/32nd - the P82 (later F82) Twin Mustang. Built just too late for WW2, it saw service in Korea. Operated in both natural metal and all-black nightfighter schemes.

I voted for Boulton-Paul Defiant, but why not a P.11c?

From the list, I'd like the Mig 3. There's just something about the looks of that fighter that I like. The Val would have been my other choice - that aircraft was responsible for the loss of alot of allied shipping early in the Pacific theater of WWII, and would make a great counterpart to the 32x Zero

I'll take the Buffalo!
They can sell it in USN paint, USMC Midway paint, RAAF, Dutch, and Finn colors.
But since we're on the 1/32nd side of the board - how about a JU-88A4 or B17? PLEASE! Tons of potential repaints and repeat sales with either bird!

I know none of these planes are "obscure" to us on this forum but the average Joe at Wally World would not recognize them.
I too would love to see an ME 110 but I am not sure 21C wants to make the change to larger 1/32 planes. Lets hope they peruse this sight and take a look at the poll.
Remember, after the Macchi we may get to see one or more of the planes I listed above!

Voted for the Il-2 Sturmovik...in my opinion we need more Russian stuff in general and the Ilyushin was one of the best (if not the best) ground attack planes of WWII, though hardly "obscure", the Soviets cranked out nearly 40,000 of them.
