| Re: If you had the resources to start your own diecast company
If I had a small diecast company I would focus on some of the lesser cover areas. Scale would be 1/48th on all projects and planes chosen would be some of the smaller aircraft. Aircraft selection would also be favorable to aircraft that had a broad variety of paint schemes. Would also like to choose some aircraft that had variations as far as fixed retractable gear to show more complete view of certain aircraft. Models would be heavy on metal and if rigging was on real plane, it would be on the model too. Some of the planes I would shoot for are as follows:
1. P-36 / Hawk 75
- Both retractable landing gear and fixed gear.
- Huge selection of paint schemes from standard US P-36 to fixed gear Thai Hawk 75 (Looks options for around ten to twelve different country markings)
2. Fokker D 21
- Fixed gear and skis. (Correction)
- Large selection of paint schemes (Four different country markings to include a Republican version from Spain).
3. P-26 Peashooter
- Fair selection of paint schemes, but potential for engine detail and rigging. |
