Fact is there are P-51’s. Whether decent quality is debatable.

I’d rather see Flightline tackle something unique that isn’t made every few years. A few suggestions:
A-26 Invader (options for B and K models) (1.6M+)
Dehavilland Mosquito (1.6M+)
Hawker Sea Fury (1.6M, scale diameter 5 blade prop)
Grumman Goose with retracts
E-2 Hawkeye
C-7 Caribou
C-47 (2M+, scale retracts)

That said your list has a couple of interesting planes that HK has made or should make.

I'm lumping a lot into that "quality" word. Fit, finish, paint, decals, that it looks like the real plane, no unpainted white foam, proper bits and bobs, good gear, struts, retracts, proper scale bits and decals... A dash decal. A proper pilot figure (all the brands need to work on this one)... And on some of the FW and FL planes need to work on too, scale looking wheels, spokes on the F-22 and Bronco??? And servo covers. And lights....

One the first EDF's from Freewing back when Motion came on board was the 80mm A-6 (my 1st EDF) along with the F-86. Both are still around and sell well.
The A-6 would be a fabulous candidate for an upgrade to a twin 80mm and really put a nice presence in the air as well as possess superb flight characteristics in this larger scale.
Ya might say that I'm also quite favored with the A-6 since I served with them in the early 70's and have been jonesing for a larger version.Warbird Charlie

xviper Yes, all very good. I have been following this guy for several months and his work is outstanding. He is also collaborating with another modeler whose is doing similar work but not for resale at this time. Great project and worth the watch Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

There are several airplanes I can think of. OV 10 has a great point with the Hellcat, the P51B has been discontinued by FMS, a bigger Bearcat, a bigger Sea Fury and I'd still love to see a Hawker Hurricane in 1600mm. I remember back in the 60's when Revell came out with its first 1/32 scale models. The P40E, The Spitfire MkII and the ME 109G. I wrote them several times to produce a Hurricane and they finally did. I still have a 1/32 Spit and a P40E along with a metal Hurricane and P51 with a 1/32 P51B and Corsair (Baa Baa Black Sheep version) still in the box. Call me a kid but I still think these are the greatest airplanes and every one of them deserves to be produced in 1600mm.
P.S. I also produced a 1/32 Buchon 109 by cutting the nose off a wrecked spitfire and gluing it onto a Messerschmitt fuse that I cut the nose off. With a bit of putty it looked pretty good!
