I know this is wishful thinking, but if the folks at Marushin want some real diecast hits on their hands, these are the three new molds I would most reccommend for their series of 1:48th sacle Japanese warbirds:

1) Nate
2) Nick
3) Tojo

Other possibilities are : Jake, Rufe, Pete, Sally, Claude, KI-100 and Dinah.

What three Japanese planes would you guys most like to see added to Marushin's line?

Marushin does do a nice job on their Japanese aircraft and would definitely like to see them release some new molds. These are a few I would like to see.

1. Ki 27 Nate
2. Mitsubishi A5M Claude
3. Aichi E13A Jake floatplane
4. Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu / NICK
5. Nakajima Night Fighter Gekko / IRVING

Judy (radial and inline) and Jill.

Same here!

I'd really like a Pete floatplane and a Nick.

Marushin should release a Ki-100. They can use the existing wing and horizonals from the Tony.

Nate and Claude................

1. Pete!!!
2. Nell
3. Tojo
4. Anything!!!!

MY choices.

KI-44 Tojo ( the last mass produced and widely used fighter not represented by anyone yet. )
KI-45 Toryu/Nick B-29 killer and Kamikaze escort / path finder.
KI-27 Nate Japan/Russia 1939 border incidents and early AVG opponent.
D4Y1 Judy ( This is one next generation aircraft that after the Val and Kate actually hit a number of ships damaging badly some significant units in surprise conventional attacks before being used as a Kamikaze) Franklin, Wasp2 and a few CVE's as well.
Any other twin engined bomber besides the Betty A KI-67 Hiryu would be nice but any of the Army bombers used in New Guinea in 42/43.


Just for fun the Kyushi J7W Shinden as it was the only canard type ordered for producton and it does look great but it will never happen.
