What size F-101 did you want. Anyone know if they have a plastic model of the lockheed/Korean T-50? Anyone want a 7' long SU-22M-4?

I would like to see an ARF similar to a Bandit,with a gofly price of $2500.If Skymaster can make F-15/F-18 with gofly prices of 2500-3000,someone can make a kick-ass sport jet for the same money.Yes,I've seen the viperjet,and Bobcat,but they don't groove like the Bandit.[8D]

My buddy Eddie is doing a BIG sport jet. he will have it at Fentress. Maybe he will post some pics of it. Its about 100 long with a 80 or so span. The F-20 comes to mind when you first see it.
Here is my new designed BSJ "Big Sport Jet"
L=106
Wing span = 88
Power = AMT450 or P200
All composite construcstions

Accepting (excusing!!!) many contributions here are from the states, please let me indulge in a British desire.
The Harrier project is fantastic, but for me I have always wanted a Tornado porbably the GR-1 Version.
I would hope it could be twin engined, with working swing wings and leading edge working slats. There are so many options, colour schemes, etc I think it represents a good challenge.
I know one was being worked on in Malta many years hence, but have never seen anyone else do one except for Chris Golds who some years hence had a D/F version.
BAES sent me loads of great details and drawings but I really do not have the skill to even start out on one!
In other respects I would quite like to see a C130 "Hercules" as we know them in this country with 4 Turbo props!! Actually it would need to be so big, it probably would be best with 2 Turbo props and 2 windmills. My father was in the paras for 18 years, so it would be nice to have this big enough to drop a squad of parachutists.
And finally I do think the civilian airliners are good subjects, the Canadair being a favourite of mine.
So the great thing about this hobby is that there is loads of choice, but sadly few manufacturers. Perhaps we ought to get a consortium together to use a CAD system to design the models, and then the drawings can be converted to allow CNC work so moulds and things can be built.
If anyone is interested in drawing up and working on a Tornado I would love to hear from you!!

You will never find a consensus with your personal likes and dislikes. You don't wan't Mustangs. I would love to see a meet of 80 or so Ziroli Apaches, Mustangs, C powered Merlins, and a bunch of "D" model Inglewood or Dallas productions. If you want individuality go get a plan or draw one and build it. Make your glass parts. Make your soldiered brass parts. Cover it with aluminum. Paint it. Do WWII, Korea, Foreign Service put little carter keys where the real ones were. Make a clay model. Mold it and put a gazillion cc of geared counter rotating props. Pay some pro $2000.00 for a "precious metal" paint scheme. Pay some one to do the stuff your don't know how to and bring your $13,000,00 model airplane to the field and let people go "Wow." Can I touch it. Actually I would like to see a kit of WWII Yokosuka E14Y 2N Sensui attached to I7 Submarine. Fantastic looking airplane in my opinion. You might consider a nice but inexpensive plan of a Beaver on floats from the AMA plan collection. Take your time and read some how to books and before the big flight someone will ask you: "can I touch it?" It is so beautiful! No Foam or covered wings. Somebody started to call those huge boxes "kits" so guys could say that they built the kit. They Ain't kits hoss. They are almost ready to fly on account of I got a golf game or I don't know how these things work. Imagine how big the "kit box" of a Yokosuka would be. Ahhh dogies, now there is a big kit.

for the most part there isn't a scale or sport jet out there you can't get a smaller version of something large. I see folks mention this often, there are plenty of small jets in the various scale out there. Same for sport jets, I like the big jets but when I get tired of lugging them around I will just buy a smaller versions.
