A B-52 would be like "BIG" if they made that bomber ...I like to see a Su-27 and Mig-29 as well.
Above all they need to make a F-14 Tomcat and A-10 warthog first.

I agree the F-14 and the A-10 should be made first.

I would go on a "hunger strike" just to have these made in 1/18th!

Re: Some modern 1:18 aircraft I would like to see made:

So, VMF115, what do you have, a model display hangar on your property, or what? Just curious where you would put all these babies...

I wouldn't mind a few on your list, though (F-111 especially). I think I would add one that would be totally awesome: F-105D (and F/G).

PS: personally I would prefer to see all these in 1/32...

I would keep them in their boxes and rotate them. I just Like the bigger planes, I have such huge hands that I end up breaking the smaller models…

I see. I like these as well, but only have 3 right now (F-16, F-86, FW-190D) of which two are at my workplace. I'm sure I won't be able to resist the F-4 and A-1 later this year, though.

Personally, I find it impossible to keep my diecast/display models in the boxes. Got to see them. But of course it does limit the number of very large models I'll be able to buy. I think 1/32 would be a good compromise for these modern jets (although for bombers like B-1 or B-52, 1/48 is alreay plenty big), and might (just might) allow them to be built in zinc versus plastic, which to me would be a huge plus.

Yep about 8ft long by 10 foot wide by 2ft high. Can you imagine the box needed for that one?
 

Ooops!
