| Which WW II Diecast Planes Would You Buy If Offered For the First Time In 1:48 Scale? As many of us who collect in different scales know all to well, relatively few World War II diecast warbirds are available in 1:48 scale as opposed to the more common choice-1:72. Here are some of the most mentioned planes on the wishlists posted on this forum that are not at present out in 1:48 ( Marushin excluded ). U.S.: TBF/TBM, TBD, SB2C,P-39, P-36, A-20, Kingfisher, PBY. Great Britain: Spitfire MK XXI, Tempest MK V, Beaufighter, Hudson, Swordfish. USSR: IL-2M, I-16, Yak-3, Yak-9, LA5FN, PE-2. Germany:BF-110C, BF-410, DO-17Z, DO-217E, FI-156, Arado 196, ME-163. Italy: MC-200, MC-202/05, SM-79 , Fiat CR-42. Japan: Val, Kate, Nick, Oscar, Tony, Frank, Tojo, Betty, Sally, Nell. Others: Fokker DXXI, PLZ-11, IAR-80, MS-406, Dewoitine D-520. My question is this: Which three of these, in rank order of preference, would you buy if a reliable manufacturer offered you the entire list to choose from?My picks would be 1) MC-202, 2) Tony, 3) IL-2m. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Which WW II Diecast Planes Would You Buy If Offered For the First Time In 1:48 Sc Wow, tough one. I want them all ! But anyway: 1) P-61 2) YaK-3 (or 9) 3) Me-110 (Night Fighter version). Close behind would be Hawker Typhoon (with rockets!) and P-39. Then a Hawk 75/P-36, and then... FVD | ||||||||||||||

Yes i notice it.... It's big and red so Carousel1 & HM and Eagles will see it....It is so long overdue. Not sure if FM would make a nice one or not. JP | |||||||||||||||

Well, if FM made it, it probably would sit nose-down anyway. I'd much prefer C1, HM (in 1/48), or EI (who was supposed to do it, but I haven't heard anything about that in so long...). FVD | |||||||||||||||

Yes, we noticed. So I guess that means it is the correct answer. Put me down for the P-61 as well. | |||||||||||||||
