If you were guessing what the next diecast aircraft offering from Hobby Master will be---not the one you may want, but the one they will probably choose to do---which of these will it be?

1) I-16 in 1:48

2) Mig-15 in 1:48

3) Il-2M in 1:72

4) Il-2m in 1:48

5) Mc-202 in 1:72

6) Mc-202 in 1:48

7) P-61 in 1:72

8) P-61 in 1:48

9) SB2C in 1:72

10)SB2C in 1:48

11)Val in 1:72

12)Val in 1:48

13)F-105 in 1:72

14)F-105 in 1:48

15) Something else

[Cavtanker]

Number 9 or Number 11.

[stalag8611]

#13 or #7 to start and then anything else on the list.

The I-16 (1/48th) and the Mc-202 (1/72nd) would be the would rank pretty high on my wish list. Another that I would be interested in woud be the Curtiss P-36/Hawk 75 in 1/48th scale. The Curtiss aircraft would make an excellent choice in that it would offer a broad selection of possible paint schemes. I would also be interested in the SB2U-3 Vindicator / Chesapeake in 1/48th scale and it two would provide for some interesting paint schemes. I like the Val and if they put out a IL-2, I sure would like to see the single seat variant.

[Rush104]

Numbers 7, 9, and 15.

6) Mc-202 in 1:48

7) P-61 in 1:72

15) Something else

I'd start with those numbers above. The Folgore was alluded to (hinted at) from the fabled 2007 scheduled release lists, and the P-61 has been strongly advocated to death by many members on this forum, so my money is for the two above. #15 maybe a 'wildcard' and I'm willing to put a wager for the F-105 in 1/72nd scale.

I like it that Hobby Master at time goes the route of choice 15. Shoot, I might have missed it, but I do not remember any heads up of the Kate being a future possiblity. Now their proposed Kate is what I call a nice surprise.

My guess is #6 and #9.

It's interesting to contrast the intensity and number of replies to my threads on Corgi--which I deliberately kept simpler-- and Hobby Master. Hobby Master has really captured our interest while Corgi has lost it is how I read these particular signals. Hopefully, Hobby Master will continue to be responsive to U.S. tastes and perhaps Corgi will wise up.

Who cares, we're going to buy it as soon as it come out.
