I would have to say for the prop fighter, the ME-109 in 1/48th scale. The MK's and colour scheme's would be fantastic, and I'm sure the fan base would be large. It would nicely compliment the FW-190 as well

As for the jet fighter, it would have to be the F-86 Sabre. A very colourful aircraft indeed. I for one would add to my collection, as I'm sure other's would.

Good choices. I'm brain dead right now, what do you mean by MK's. The F-86 in 1/72 or 1/48?

Sorry, it's not your brain being dead, it's my typing I'm afraid. The MK should read mk's (marks), and as for the scale of the F-86 Sabre, 1/48th. It's got to be 1/48th, to bring out the detail, and Hobby Master do 1/48th so well.

Hi, The model that I would like to see in a diecast and produced is the P-61 Black Widow.  It was the only true night fighter.  It was not made for anyother job it was made for the night.

 

The model that I would have to pick for this role would be the F-86 Sabre Jet.  It was not only a great Jet Fighter but it was a great looking jet with great eye appeal.  It was just a great looking a airplane!!!!!!!!  Cheers, Bob

A good choice indeed. The P-61 would look great. It would be an eye catcher in anyone's collection. 

Glad you agree with the F-86 Sabre.

Hello, all

 

I would like HM to issue 1/48 Bf109 E, Bf 109 F and Hurricane I to complete the Battle of Britain series initiated with the 3 Spit I and II models.

Hello,

 

Yes!  I do agree with Mr. Quillien that they should make a Me/Bf I09 and the Hurricane to fill out the Battle of Britain series.  I would like to add one more prop fighter to the list that I would like to see and that is the Long-Nose FW 190 which is another WWII prop fighter that should be added to my list.

 

Cheers, Bob

I think the problem with the P-61 is that there is a lack of 7 or 8 paint schemes. From my understanding this is about the number of releases they need to make to recover their expenses. This aircraft has been mentioned literally hundreds of times and they have thought about it but nothing so far. But Hobby Master has surprised us in the past so I don't rule anything out any more. I didn't think they would make the "Teen Fighters" but they are going ahead. If enough people sent emails to Hobby Master email in Hong Kong requesting this model it just might help.

The BF-109 and F-86 seem to be the most popular so far. As for the long nose FW-190D Hobby Master already makes the FW-190 so perhaps this one will be made at some point.
