So what 45 is doing?

? 45

[Gilatrout]

Go crazy. Seriously, if anything the airliner should teach is that we want something NEW. Be cool, crazy, give us a B-47 or something else off the wall cool

I can understand why the swastika isn't included on some models. When I mentioned to our daughter that I was considering painting a Fi-156 to match the one at our local Air Museum, in Mussolini's military scheme, she balked at the idea of using the Italian Fascist symbol, even for scale accuracy on a model. Too many people these days don't seem to be able to separate the use of the symbol as part of historical modeling, from endorsing the philosophies embraced by said governments.

I think in some countries, especially Germany, the use of the swastika outside of religious buildings is illegal.

+ Three on full scale.

[Elbee]

Agreed that all markings should be included. This allows the 'owner' the choice as it should be. As a manufacturer, the choice is obviously theirs whether to include these with the kit, though 'swastikas' could be offered both Clockwise & Counter-Clockwise for those who want actual or semi-actual or not at all. Just sayin'. Best, LB

[Twowingtj]

+1 on including the tail decals.

[Oxotnik]

Wondering when a 1600mm FW190 will join the FlightLine group of WWII Warbirds. Either with or without the Swastika. It's ironic that the swastika was once a "good luck" symbol...

Would love a well-done 1.6m Fw-190! Would prefer a D-9, personally, as there aren’t any quality foam D-9s on the market now. HK re-released their Starmax 1.6m A-8, and I have one, but it’s not the quality of FlightLine 1.6m warbirds.

RE: tail swastikas. I wish that the tail swastikas would at least be included with the plane. Otherwise, I have to buy them elsewhere (ie., from Callie). Luftwaffe warbirds just don’t look right without the proper tail insignia.

This thread is over 2 years old, so I’m curious ............................... Since this thread began, of all the suggestions of what people wanted, how many of those actually came to fruition?
As for me? I’d still like to see a Vulcan. It doesn’t have to be a quad. A twin will do.

I asked for a twin 70 or 90mm F-22... but that request was about 6 months prior to its release last year. I wanted TV though...

[Hoomi]

Believe it or not, there was actually an idea to install a tractor-tread main gear on the B-36. I don't think it ever got much past the drawing board.

Edit - they actually tested it.

[Valkpilot]

Um. That's a big wheel.

"Grass-friendly undercarriage"... Check!

No this is a Big Wheel:



This is a big tire:

[Alpha]

There's a simple SCALE answer to that. Go with the mains from the XB-36:





They had to go to the 4 wheel mains to distribute the weight, otherwise the Peacemaker would have been limited to certain fields.

[JamesonC]

If it was a 1600-1800mm, heck yes. I had the FMS one and it flew nice but you couldn't lay a fingerprint on it without it making an indent in the foam. Besides, it's pretty well known FMS has come out with the same model after Freewing/FlightLine has more than a few times so what's a little returning the favor?

Yeah, no doubt FMS has been right behind FW on quite a few releases! But, Alpha has been pretty open about taking the higher road on that kind of thing. Even to the point of back burning the C130 since Avios had one coming. That's the only reason I ask.

But, I think between the EDF craze and Eflite keeping them busy playing catch up, I don't see FMS putting much effort or attention into their own line of warbirds anyway.

[Valkpilot]

. It would have fairly large wheels for grass ops.

It doesn't seem that a "practical" B-36 would be that hard to do. Six smaller motors and ESCs wouldn't be as expensive as four larger ones. Single tail vs. two like on the B-24. It would have fairly large wheels for grass ops. A two or three piece fuse for easy transport and shipping.

Maybe the biggest reason it hasn't been done is possible lack of market to support the cost to make. I don't know how well the B-24 has done for Flightline.

Both the B-29 and the B-36 would be on my list.
