It's a space race. There are many models I would prefer in 1:48 scale other than the IL2. So as my vote indicates, it's no.

I don't know if I would buy one or not, but, as the old saying goes.... "If you build it they will come".. I am sure that many of these folks that voted for 1/72 would buy the 1/48 version if it were available (and nice enough)..

1/48, please. Jim put it pretty well...

The IL-2 was one of the most important aircraft in history, both from a military point of view as well as the fact that it was made in more numbers than any other aircraft of its type - EVER! It is a shame that so little consideration is given to understanding that which occurred on the Eastern Front in WWII, as many of the other significant theatres were relatively small (in scale, not necessarily importance) in comparison ...

A good quality 1/48 scale IL-2 is a must in my opinion ...

Put me down for one, or two, or three, maybe more. Perferrably from Eagles, that is if it doesn't take 3 years in the making. Carousel would be alright also.

I love the IL 2 but a I would not know where to put a 1/48 version of it.
If it was in 1/72 I would buy one right away.

Hopefully, some manufacturers such as Hobby Master, Carousel 1, Franklin Mint and Eagles International may take some notice ...

I would like a 1/48 HM IL2 and love a 1/72 version!

I love the idea. I think that 1:48 scale is the best for aircraft models. It's big enough to put a lot of detail into, but no so big that it's burdensome like 1:32. I understand those collecting only 1:72 because of it's display ability, but If I have a choice I say make it 1:48. It just has so much more potential for detail.

I voted yes. I am a 1/48th scale first guy.
