    I have been watching for the Bone, B-1 Bomber would be coming. I see Banana has came out with a very nice looking B-1. Being from the Black Hills We get to see them a lot The new EDF from Banana is powered by two 80mm fans.

    I would like to see more planes in similar scales. Zeros. Macchis, 109s, mosquito’s, etc
    WOW, outstanding work on those. I would immediately go for either one.

    BTW, anyone notice all the new MRC discontinued, including the Spitfire?

    My Aces High/Extreme Flight Red Tulip with 2 Model Sounds 3" speakers, sounds great, flies even better:

    Grossman56 Howard's Mustang Ding Hao would be fabulous. I bought the Jim Meister "Master Scale" kit back in the late '80s, but life got in the way and sold her in '01 or '02. No regrets, but would certainly like to build it in 1600 mm by FlightLine . Best, LB

    Or how about a P51B in Old Crow colors to salute Americas oldest living ace (Triple Ace) Recently promoted Brigadier General Clarence 'Bud' Anderson who just turned 101 years old in Jan 2023.

    Buds a national treasure.

    Similarly I would jump on a Pond Racer, been asking for years. But it would have to have the performance of the real one. I made a "Concorde" years back. Was tough to fly. Did not like to be slow. Rolls were crazy fast. When I first built it I had the CG wrong and it did a crazy back flip like the unlimited hydro boats do. I made a model of the model to figure out CG and it flew well. First with a .46 but that was too much, then a .32 and then converted to electric.

    The Starship would be a must have for me. The Cirrus, 2nd in your list, but a distant 2nd in any list I'd have. The staggerwings I've seen in model form just don't fly well and don't appeal to me in general. Already have the F-14 and it trumps the Tornado. Concorde is interesting but would be complex and expensive to do. The others, I've had most of them by other brands and they've been done enough.
    From a manufacturer's point of view, they have be able to pre-judge what will sell. Molds can start at $50,000.00 and go up from there. They have to sell XXXX numbers to make it worth while. If they see a plane on only one or two peoples' wish list, they're going the be very unreceptive. They also must let the bean counters do their thing at least one go round.

    Yeah, Starship. There’s one owned by a guy in Aspen and regularly flies in KAPA near where I live. It actually flew over yesterday while I was at the RC field.

    Rutan was way ahead of his time on this one.

    Idk how big of an appetite the market may have but no doubt the uniqueness of this as a model. I know there are some balsa kits out there.

    that’s what I love about this hobby…enough diversity that there’s something for everyone. While I appreciate what Freewing has done with the Eurofighter, one probably won’t end up in my hangar. It’s just not that interesting of a subject for me. I’m sure the ROI will be good though!

    Well, I'm happy that y'all were able to get the MiG-29OVT over here to the States and I'm happy that there'll be a second batch that I can grab a bird from early next year.
    I'd be really curious to see if a VT-equipped sport jet (Sebart AreS) would be too much of a niche market, or if it'd do well. But the Avanti is still a solid freestyle bird and the Vulcan reminds me of a Rebel in flight characteristics, so I'm happy there. Still want a pure 3D jet though, and I think the AreS would be that! :)

    On the warbird end, I remember around mid-year of 2020 there were rumors swirling of a C-130 planned, not sure if that went anywhere. 6S and 2.5m wingspan would be pretty cool if that became a reality.

    Hey Tom how about an ME109 G6 or an E model. One of the most produced planes of all time and tons of different color schemes. Maybe in a grey primer version so we can paint it in different color schemes. It seems there are not many models of this famous airplane available.
