I'm sure they would totally do those planes in 1:32 and they may not be that far off, considering the popularity of the 1:18 birds. I would totally get a Saber & Mig in 1:32 - probably even more, depending on what paintschemes 21c would put out! Hopefully they would do some different ones than what's offered in the 1:18th scale. The 1:32 examples probably wouldn't have all the moving control surfaces and opening panels - though I see the airbrakes as a possibility - but would have the retractable gear, deep intakes, and detailed cockpit! The Saber & Mig would also make a great duo for some future "Dogfight" pack 8)

...and while we're at it, how about an Avenger in 1:32, and a P-38, and the list could easily go on :wink:

Migs and Sabres would undeniably be nice, but I sure would like a P-38 first! What's the hold up there? The 1/18 has been around for years. How hard is it to downsize the molds?

MG-42.....yes to both airplanes; in fact, I would pretty much buy all of the same airplanes that I have in 1/18 if they made it in 1/32.....a change in schemes/camo, as tmtg said, would really be great. 8)

At least the possibility of having our twin engine bomber-dream-wishes might be more feasable in 1/32 rather than 1/18. I am all for a heafty increase in 1/32, now that I have found out well done this scale is. :D

I'd definately go for a P-38 , especially a "Haleakala" II and a couple of Spitfires. :D

I wonder if the Spitfire will be released this year, since they had the 1:18 version out for a while and Roy said that it's easier to go from large to small than the other way around.
