Hawkie..... i think we also like to see some double prop planes in the very near future. Any Top Secret at the works at the moment??? Like maybe a TIGERCAT??? or A-26??? maybe even a C-47???

I could live with that . . . I mean . . . well . . . huh?

Hawkvoodooone was asking folks for input a while back on on bombers and collecting lists. If I recall, the suggestions were forwarded along to Hobby Master. (Though I really shouldn't speak for him. If I'm miss remembering the details, please forgive me.)

I'm sure that Hobby Master has something up their sleeve. They had said previously that they were planning a ME-110 for sometime next year. I'm sure if that is successful (Can anyone image it not being a hit?) then we will see more bombers and twin engine planes.

As for the Tigercat, don't bet on it. There was a HUGE push here on the forum for the P-61, but folks could only come up with four different basic models. It seemed to fizzel out after Hawk came back with word from Hobby Master that if they couldn't create at least six distinct versions they wouldn't be able to recoup costs and make it worth their while. (6 different black liveries wouldn't generate the kind of sustained sales that make creating a new mould worth while.)

Keeping that in mind, I cannot imagine there were that many distinct and different liveries or models for Hobby Master to work with. I'd love to see it happen, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either.

Before a double prop, I would like to see an A-1 Skyraider, first. Definetly six versions can be put into the mix.

I am on the fence for a C-47 - if they put a "Puff" in the mix maybe I'd buy in.

An A-1 would be sweet. So would a C-47/DC-3. I would hope that the P-61 is not out of the running.

The A-1H frst and foremost. What a great record it had in Nam See the movie"We were soldiers once" and watch some great footage of that bird.

Isn't HM and Corgi working together these days? And if so the limited number of options for the P-61 shouldn't be an issue.
Heck do three OD versions and thee black ones. I don't think folks would mind three each with different nose art, invasion stripes what have you.
And surely Corgi would keep the mold alive with countless versions of the P-61. The HM Dauntless planes didn't change much in appearence with the last release of the Operation Torch version.
But I agree a series of A-1 Skyraiders would be great in 1/72nd scale, both Navy and Air Force.

I am with you all the way. Tigercat, P61 ,A26, C47. In that order please.

Yes, I'd definitely buy a P-61, A-26, C-47 or Tigercat if HM comes out with them.
Just to throw what I think would be a neat one out there: Martin B-10 bomber (lots of colorful liveries including yellow wiings, Dutch East Indies, etc)
