Nice video, Jamie, obviously lots of British aircraft in your wish list. I think you missed some interesting subjects like an ICM Marauder in 1/48. It makes totally sense with them doing that. I also think Eduard plans "in the future" a Mig 19 and a Mig 23 in 48 scale... Now regarding Kinetic, one subject that would contribute to their collection is a brand new A-4 Skyhawk family always in 1/48. Another interesting aircraft in either ZM or Kinetic would be a brand new F-8 Crusader again in 1/48. By the way, nice shirt for the video 👌. Cheers

From ICM, how about a 1/48th AD5/A1E Skyraider? It would slot in well with their current crop of Vietnam service types, O2A, A26K and OV10. Its hight time we had an up to date moulding. The Matchbox offering from 40 odd years ago was more toy than model. On the plus side for ICM they could get several versions from it too.

Concur with the ICM Tigercat, (I didn’t like the italeri example and mine now serves as a paint trials airframe) I’d love a ZM Brit Phantom, I found the Revellagawa rebox a tedious slog. A Kinetic F100 would be lovely if the F104 is anything to go by. We do need a new F105D , I have the Hobbyboss version languishing in the stash and I’m plucking up the courage to build it . A 1/72 A10 from Academy is a good shout if you don’t fancy a 1/48 lump to display. Personally, I’d love to see a 1/48 Northrop F5E Tiger II , I struggled with a potential manufacturer but then I thought of Kinetic with possibly Academy as contenders. The F5E does have a fan base , for me it’s memories of the Alconbury Agressors of the 80’s and their cool schemes. In the US you have the Adversaries flying privately and with the Navy to this day. Additionally the superb Patrouille Suisse fly the F5E and would make a great subject as Kinetic are not averse to producing a formation team release like they did with the Blue Angels Hornet. Surprisingly the Pat Suisse appeared at Duxfords end of season show a couple of weeks back and were cool and are tied for my personal team of the year with The Black Eagles (obviously the Red Sparrows are currently in the dog house for being naughty) Look forward to the next video !

Attractive options all you mentioned; I enjoyed the video a lot; regarding Kinetic, I wish they make a new line of 1/48 A-4, starting with the earlier versions up to the modernized and export ones (like the Mirage); they'll have lots of markings options to choose. An accurate depiction of the area under the slats, and the gear wells also, will put them ahead of the other brands; also, they will have all the fighter jets of the Falklands war in their lineup.

Airfix should add a 1/48 early high back Spitfire 14c. Rather than a Hampden, I’d prefer a 1/48 long nose Blenheim IVf from them as well. I’d love to see Kinetic do a proper 1/48 Mirage F1 that actually fits unlike that pustule from Kitty Hawk. A Kinetic F-100 series would be brilliant as well, both single seat and two seat. I hope Tamiya will do a 1/48 P-38L, many of the more interesting markings were on L’s. I also think that Tamiya would do justice to a new 1/48 F4U-4 Corsair. It’s overdue. For GWH I think a 1/48 Jaguar would be perfect. Again to replace the KH turd. As an alternative we really need a new 1/48 F-111 series and GWH would be the right guys to tackle that. Eduard should tackle a 1/48 Brewster Buffalo series, Finnish, RAAF and USN/USMC. Another welcome line from Eduard would be a series of 1/48 Curtiss Hawks with radial engines. A subject that needs more attention.

Future Kits. Hello Jamie, this is a very subjective topic so don’t take offence at my comments please. I think you have allowed your heart to rule your head, surely if you are going to do this you should apply some logic, at least for one of your choices. RE: ICM, the Dornier 217 K and M must be on the list, they already have 80% of the moulds and both kits are surprisingly missing in mainstream 1/48 plastic. My second choice from ICM would be the Curtis Seagull (Bi-plane) in 1/48, again totally missing in 1/48 and a sure big seller. I agree ICM would make a nice Hampden but I think this is one for Airfix in 1/48. I think ICM would also do a great Heinkel He 114 or a Dornier Do 18 G. RE: Zoukei Mura, given their history I agree a Blenheim would be a great choice in 1/32 or indeed a Beaufighter, paint and mould options are good (much better than a Mosquito, Tamiya). RE: Kinetic, I have to bow to your knowledge here. Kinetic are not a kit manufacturer I’ve had much to do with given their catalogue of jets, not my thing. They make nice kits and anything not already produced in 1/48 would be nice. RE: GWH, I agree they’re producing some great kits. I’d love to see a 1/32 FW 189 from them (Their 1/48 kit is excellent) or even a good 1/48 Dornier Do 18 seaplane, I can’t understand how this has not been produced in 1/48. RE: Academy, I’m surprised you have these guys on your list. Not my favourite manufacturer I must admit and most of what I’ve seen has been unimpressive. Anyway, nice discussion. Dean

Hi Jamie, great to see you’ve joined “the tube” and really enjoy your content👍 So here’s my thoughts… ICM, agree with the Hamden, but think you missed the trick with the B-26 Marauder in 1/48. The Monogram kit just is a nightmare, especially around 5he tail. Zouki, agree regarding 1/48 British Phantom, buy why not upscale the F-4,s to 1/32. Having just built the Tamiya offering, it takes so much to get it right, and the Revell offering is also poor. (Wait to be flamed here😉) Kinetic, disagree with you selection, think a Gannet (both versions) and Vampire/Venom series would be nice. (And two seat options please). GWH, agree…. Academy, agree….

The world needs... (actually just Aus....🤔).... *Ahem*. Australia needs a 1:48 scale CAC Sabre. A Sabre with a Rolls Royce Avon engine. Thirstier than the GE engine, so it has a wider inlet. Nobody’s ever produced one in plastic yet. You can get aftermarket resin inlets but they’re like politicians with integrity and charisma: Nearly impossible to find nowadays. We’d buy lots of them down here. We’d also buy lots of the Australian manufactured Ford XB Falcon from 1975. You know....The one Mad Max turned into the “Interceptor” post COVID-19. Failing that, since Kitty Hawk’s demise I’ve found I’d really like a good SEPECAT Jaguar in 1:48.

On a side note I wonder if you have thought picking 10 or so aircraft that need redoing or not done and what manafacture would you want to make them and why (i know bit dream world) but be interested, as I mentioned ill really like to see a new tooled TSR 2 :) thanks for the great vids really enjoying them

GWH: The obvious missing aircraft is the 1/48 F-15 A/C. They did the F-15 B/D and the E/I, so why not the A/C, a strange missing aircraft. Also, in 1/144 they do the Victor and TSR.2, but not the Vulcan (OK, Trump do it). I'd be delighted, but surprised by a Valiant. ICM: A 1/48 Hampden sounds about right, and it was flown by the Soviets. That might be a good or a bad thing, for ICM though. As a slightly unusual one, the Nordatlas. The only kit is the ancient (and awful) Heller kit. Academy: How about the new standard US trainer, the T-7A Red Hawk? As far as I know no one has kitted it. It would fit nicely with their T-50 Golden Eagle. Kinetic. How about a 1/48 F-22? I can't think of any kit of this, in this scale, available new, which is very surprising.
