    That, and those spindly struts. They must have been hard to land.

      King Air would be great! 1700-1800mm span!

        For nostalgia I’d like a Piper Tomahawk. Got my wings on them back in the day, so I have a soft spot for em.

        The list of warbirds I’d like is... long. Mostly under dogs, oddballs and unsung heroes: I-16 Rata; Vickers Wellington; Bristol Beaufighter; Boulton-Paul Defiant; Grumman F4F Wildcat; XF5F Skyrocket. I could go on...

          I'm surprised at your list. I would think it'd be mostly AVRO Canada products.

            I could see Flightline coming out with a Hellcat some day. I don't know why more people don't make a Wildcat?

                I think the landing gear is what stops most manufacturers from doing a Wildcat. I have to applaud LX for doing it... but it’s foam and smaller than I’d like. The PZ Wildcat was one of my first 4ch planes, and turned me into a Wildcat fan for life.

                if I have my history right, AVRO Canada was Canada Car & Foundry during the war, and produced Hurricanes, Lancasters and evening Curtiss Helldivers among others. I would certainly be in for a good sized Lancaster, say 80” - 100” wingspan.

                  I had to jump in and say you're almost historically right. Most Canadian manufacturing of aircraft during wartime was bought, owned and contracted by Hawker Siddeley Group of UK. Victory Aircraft, a Government owned company in Toronto, which was bought by Hawker, made Lancasters and even one Lincoln, which was a bigger Lancaster. National Steel Car of Hamilton made Avro Anson's; Hawker Hurricanes; Westland Lysanders and Handley Page bombers. Canada Car & Foundry, Thunder Bay; made Hawker Hurricanes and Curtiss Helldivers under licence. Packard USA made Merlin engines for Canadian Lancasters. Other American companies made radio equipment for British/Canadian planes. A.V.Roe or AVRO, was bought by Hawker and Victory Aircraft became AVRO Canada after the war. They built modern aircraft until '62.....

                    Because there wasn't a TV series made featuring them.

                      You know Ya have a point. I have a friend, that always reiterates, "those Hellcats & Wildcats shot down the Japanese & Germans when there planes had real pilots in them". His quote not mine. But I kinda see where he's coming from.

                          Nice to hear some interest in the Convair. Maybe we can get lucky and see a civil and military versions.

                            Sadly I think my Dragon Rapide may never see the light of day, but I'd be keen on many of the aircraft in everyone's lists. So many choices..

                                      Alpha Both the DH-89 and DH-88 are such eye catching designs. The Comet has been done a couple of times, but a rendition done well by Flightline or Black Horse would be sweet. I've thought about getting the Dumas Dragon Rapide, designed by Pat Trittle. His designs are very light, but fragile also. A Flightline, Skynetics, or better yet, a Black Horse would be a "must have" for me.

                                        I'm rarely surprised by models suggested here. I have to say, a couple of very cool old planes you referenced there. I like em both, very nice looking planes. W

                                          Well, there was Baa Baa Black Sheep which certainly helped Corsair popularity, but never a significant Hellcat TV show. However, we have lots of Hellcat options. The real reason for no significant number of larger Wildcats is the landing gear.

                                          The Wildcat did have a brief turn as a movie star in the movie Midway.
