I got that one a year or two ago, have the 1/48 C-130 and an H-19 (box scale, I believe). Guess I’ll have to put Carlos in the will!

I could kick myself as many times as I passed up those kits when they were affordable...

At least I did snag the 1/48 B-1 and B-29 for good prices...

That's a hard one to answer as I've never been into grail kits as it were, and what I want to build changes quite often. I'd love to see a decent 1/48 selection of the GA aircraft I used to work on, then I'd be getting some.

I think I still have one 29 and three 52’s. Bought them when I could.

Some goog GA would be so nice!

If I still built 1/72, I’d want the Soviet bombers...
Backfire
Blinder
Badger
Bear
Beagle

Most of those would be huge in 1/48...

Carlos, I've built all of those but the Bear. Gotta rectify that.

It's hard for me to figure out what I'd want to build that I haven't already built since I've built almost everything in my chosen scale. Anything I'd want to add to my list is not in production in my scale:


Armor:
-> Ontos
-> M-47 Patton
-> M-42 Duster
-> GCT self propelled artillery
-> DANA self propelled artillery
-> Any and all South African armor and vehicles
-> M-198 towed artillery piece
-> Israeli later Magach series (with all the funky turret altering armor)

Aircraft:

Not really anything off the top of my head. Everything I might think of is already in the stash.

Ships: Preferably in 1/700 scale:

-> Russian Kara-, Kresta-, Kynda, and Kotlin class ships.
-> Italian Guisseppe Garibaldi class carriers
-> Italian Vittorio Venetto class helicopter carrier
-> Any Postwar Australian and Canadian aircraft carriers

And my number one Holy Grail kit: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car

Oh hell. I forgot the B-1, B-52 and C-130. I really want that Revell 1/48 B-1.

I want the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car too!

I'm a slow builder and I love so many designs of all types from all eras...
Those pre-war racers always tempted me but for some strange reason there are not many kits in 1/48 out there. Mostly horrible short run stuff. But MikroMir announced this beauty last week:

Yes! I want the De Havilland now. That was why I listed the Hughes H-1 first, Torben... the only kits are very weak and hard to find.
