Always thought this would be cool too, but I don't know if fans could fit in the engine nacelles below without it looking disproportionate. It's be cool to rip around in a B-1B. It must be too hard to model because no one does it.

I could see a 90mm F-35 also, with thrust vectoring. I don’t know if a 90mm is too big, power to weight wise for TV, but an 8s one would be cool. No one really does a good scale F-35 that I know of and a lot of the smaller ones have odd shapes. I don’t see a lot of people flying F-35’s so maybe it isn’t that popular, but I had a small version in the past and it flew great.

Here’s one that I know I would really like, but maybe there isn’t much more of a market for. A modern looking U-2 is a badass looking airplane. Where we live in Northern CA, every once in a while we will see them fly over from Beale AFB. My Dad used to work on the mission planning teams for the U-2/TR-1 and the SR-71’s. We stayed here when he retired from Beale, so these planes have always held a special place for me.

But since this is about "big", why not really go big with a Vulcan?
