The Hurricane got my vote because it makes a great companion for a 1/48 Spitfire. It also makes sense commercially because of the vast number of schemes that could be created; early twin blade, BoB, nightfighter, Hurribomber, RPs, desert etc. Yes please!

Me too Shamrock for all the same reasons if not a Hurri than a Mossie would be great or the F-W190.

Simple Corsair, yeah I know it's been done a million times, but out of those million nobody has done a really good one yet, in any scale.

I concur wholeheartedly (including Dragon)!

I wonder if the Grumman F9F is still in the queue as 3rd? Remember this thread started by Pappy?

Re: What warbird would you like in 1:48th from HM?

I had seen earlier that the Polikarpov I-16 had been hinted as a possible future addition. Must admit the I-16 would have to be my first choice for a 1/48th scale addition. Have three of the Brewster Buffalos and I am really impressed with quality. Wonder if there might be a Brewster in Finnish markings in the works? That and how about some Italian planes like the MC 200, Fiat G50 or the RE 2000. All of these were pretty small fighters and would not take up to much space in 1/48th scale.fficeffice" />>>

Of the choices given, the Tempest is a no-brainer! I want one! Goes well with the Griffon Spit too, better than the Hurricane I would suggest.

We covered this question in some HM thread regarding the F2A. I think the general consensus is HM would probably have to modify the tooling in order to produce a Finnish variant. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, for this is the one I really want.
