| Re: WW II 1:72 Scale Planes Not Done Yet Oofah! Too many to choose from! In general, I'd like to see Soviet fighters, Italy's MC-202 Folgore (duh) and anything Japanese that's not a Zero, starting with the Kate and Jill. (I do have IXO's Japanese planes, minus the Grace, but that wouldn't stop me from buying a better model, if one was offered.) If I had more room, the above-mentioned floatplanes would be next on my list.
I don't know what sells with the general public / casual collector, but I'm betting fighters are better sellers than bombers, and given that many consumers are in English-speaking nations, I imagine any US or British planes that haven't yet been offered -- like the Helldiver or Tempest -- would be good sellers. But then, isn't there a large and largely untapped Japanese market? Wouldn't Japanese planes be good sellers? I know there are companies that manufacture small-scale Japanese planes; how would the Japanese market respond to well-done 1:72 offerings? |
