Those are some great kit wishes.

I'd ask for a new 1/48 kits of:

F11F Tiger (long & short nosed)
C-46 Commando
CG-4A Waco Glider
Horsa Glider
B-66 Destroyer family

1/48 S-64 Erikson Fire Bomber (CH-54 Tarhe) - I think this could happen if ICM downsizes the 1/35 bird and does the fire suppression version.
1/20 Modern F1 Halo car and a Halo Indy car.

Christmas would be fine.
Thanks,
John

That’s about as likely a wish to be granted as some requested modeling subjects. 😉

There's a Tiger coming out sometime soon.

I want new Apaches, Black Hawks and Sea Hawks in 1/48.

All great wish items, but a lot of subjects are forgotten. For me, I'd love to see these:

1/72 scale aircraft:

C-5A Galaxy (We have an An-124, so why not?)
Boeing 747, especially with decals for Air Force One; and/or parts and decals for the space shuttle transport plane


1/72 scale armor and vehicles:

Ontos
M42 Duster
M47 Patton
M198 towed artillery piece
Chaparral AA sstem
M247 MLRS
British postwar/cold war era tank transporters
M48 and M60 bridgelayer variants


1/600 and/or 1/700 scale ships:

modern Italian aircraft carrier Guiseppi Garibaldi
Russian Kara class cruisers
Russian Kynda class cruisers
Russian Sverdlov class cruisers
Russian Kashin class ships
Russian Ivan Rogev
British Queen Elizabeth carrier (the new one)
Cold war era French and Italian cruisers and destroyers
French Jean d'Arc (not the Heller kit, too big!)
French carriers Foch and Clemenceau (not Heller, too big!)



Well, I'm sure I can come up with more, but right now, these are topmost on my mind.
