What is your white whale? e.g Wish list

[Paulw]

I think that we have touched this at an earlier time though very early but I just was thinking of two or three maybe six kits that aren't out but I wish they would produce.
1. I would love to see a 1/32 Northrop Gamma. It has been one of my favorite planes since I was a little tyke. I don'y recall where I saw it first but it stuck with me all of these years.

2. 1/32 scale Boeing 40. A real cool looking bipe that I would also drool over

3. 1/48 Martin Mars

4. Finally, something that I used to spend all of my time on during my years in the nav. A 1/35 Mk45 Md 0&1 multi purpose LWGM (light weight gun mount)

Let's see yours

One of mine is out there I just haven't pulled the trigger.

1/72 scale Hughes XF-11 reconnaissance airplane from mysterious aviator

Really not sure I have the skills or the tools to build this.

I remember the previous thread Paul, I think I posted a picture of that Gamma someone had scratch built. Hell of a bird.
yep, found it.

How about a decent US Bazooka in PE?

 

[sharkman]

Easy!

1/48 Dornier Do 18

1/48 Dornier Do 26

and two that have been kitted but are so obscure....

1/48 Aichi E16A Paul

1/48 Yokosuka E14Y Glen


Would love to see Tamiya or Hasegawa do the Paul and Glen, and some company like Special Hobby cover the other two!

Just looked up the Boeing 40, that would be cool!

That was a badass car Warren, My dad use to sell new cars just before he got in the grading business. That's his grader in the background, it has some history also, anwho...he had it custom ordered. Had some sort of speed alarm you set it and it would buzz. I can remember going down I 20 to Charleston, I'm sitting in his lap, and reaching under the dash for the control for that buzzer, cranking it over and telling Dad to "Make it buzz Daddy"
I'd have to check with my brothers but i think it had a 427 motor. It went in and out of the family for 15 years till a body shop chopped it up for parts.

 

[sharkman]

Sounds nice! Too bad it didn't stay in the family.

My father used to have a '68 Olds cutlass convertible before I was born. He ordered it custom as well but destroyed it building a house, using it to haul wood and supplies! Wish he had kept that!

Off track a bit! Sorry Paul!

Northrup BT-1 in 1/48

 

[Heavens Eagle]

A Dornier Do17Z in 1/32.

Then there are variants.

Am waiting patiently for HPH to release their Savoia Marchetti SM-79 in 1/32.

No no no, the 66 Caprice. Only because I had one in college until I sold it and bought an E-Type.

 

[jeaton01]

The BT-1 would be good. I have it in vacform in 1/48.

 

[ij001]

Easy a 'Tamiya quality' 1:32 Hawker Hurricane series (preferably by Revell so I can afford a couple), AND....

...this - Cannot get one for a reasonable price anywhere. They do appear on eBay from time to time but the cost plus postage is always prohibitive.


Ian.

 

[Paulw]

I had one of those Chevy's in '78, Bob. The Maine winters didn't do it much good any.

 

[sharkman]

Hey Ian,

I don't know this store but it looks like there is one listed here for a reasonable price...

When I get my '67 then they can make a '66.
