Status: offline 		I also think the Zero would be great. No, it's not my favorite warbird but it makes a great model, has good market potential, and would fit right in with the current line. I would also like to see an early Mark Spitfire but only if they did a better job than they did with the .60 size. (scale fidelity wise I mean) I'd like to see good Hurricane in either .60 size or giant scale.

Status: offline 		I probably wont build any more TF warbirds after having built several yellow and ziroli kits. However, I would like to see them put out a Me109G or K, Hawker tempest Mk V, Bearcat, and even a zero.
Evan Q.
They could even do a short nose Fw190 since it could use the same gear as the D9.

Status: offline 		I'd buy a Top Flite Mosquito"Gold Giant" kit in a Heartbeat!!! They'd sell a bunch of them too! Think I'll place my vote at their site.

Status: offline 		I forgot to put in my choices... Something Japanese- I would prefer Ki84 Frank or a Ki-43 Oscar... On the allied side, an F6F would be devine... or I'd be pretty happy if they'd even bring back the B model Mustang (and at an irresistable price of course).

Sure there is some kits out, but TF doesnt even do a ME-109, one of the most important fighter plans in history. German aircraft are seriously underrepresented I think. Top US ace was what, 40 kills? Richard Bong in a P-38? Top German was what, 352 or so? Erich Hartman wasnt it? In a ME-109 for most kills, that my friends,
is history!!!


A million b-25's, b-17's, b-24's, how many JU-88's or HE-111's or DO-17's?

Zero wouldn't be bad either. Incredibly important airplane in the pacific, one that changed how Americans designed fighter aircraft.
