Brian Seymour Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm biassed to the Macchi C202 & 205, I don't know how anyone can resist the sweet combination of the: compound curved fuselage, scalloped razor back, generous fairing, narrow chord wings and pretty tail feathers, it's the perfect base for the wealth of different freehandable colour schemes. - I like it so much I've already made one! I'm pretty easy on wing construction, the Yak wings have been a joy to work with and adapt to the extra bits and pieces that I wanted to include. The foam wings haven't come out heavy at all, I reckon that if you go to great lengths to keep a built up wing light then it can be built lighter but the built up wings on my ARTF's are significantly heavier. I wondered whether vac forming proper fairings is practical but, having spoken to Jon, they can't take the abuse of ic engines, add to that the built up fairing on the Spitfire looks ace and building the fairing on the Yak was a nice little job.

The other guys want one too!

RICHARD WILLS Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think we have to let the thread run for while to let everyone get their wish in. Its not until we get a fair number of people contribute that we can make any kind of conclusion . Clearly if you are the only one that pipes up for a Westland Welkin , its unlikely that we will produce a kit , but if your second choice is one that keeps getting mentioned then that is the one you should back . So every one must chip in as it might be the thing for other people who havent yet spoken . Tony Nijhuis does have a reasonable fleet that we dont really want to compete with , although if a different size is desirable it could be considered . I dont have any hang ups on different nations so Axis or Allies is all good. They are all effectively flying Ferraris , so what's not to get excited about , whatever flag they flew under?

Lorenz Mueller Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'd be in for an electric twin to be powered by something like .40 equivalents, so in the 70"ish wingspan. A De Havilland Hornet or a Douglas Invader (easy ground handling tri-gear!) would be my favorites. Or from the axis, a Focke-Wulf Ta-154 Moskito Lorenz (hopefully shipping to switzerland would not be more expensive than the kit...)

Rich too Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 A P47 Thunderbolt, 100" wingspan for a 100-120 cc twin petrol, quick build and cheap! There are limited options for this at the moment and tend to be very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a Wild/Bear/HellCat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 What about a Stampe SR-7... ??? Only 3 full scale built by Stampe / Renard with the fuselage of an SV-4. About 1600mm / EP or IC would be great. The only existing model plan was draw by French designer Laurent Buissyne (Bulconcept). OK, right, I'm Belgian & leaving the classroom right away...

Colin Leighfield Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Funny, I was looking at I-16 three-views this morning. A very important aeroplane that looks as if it might be a handful. Perhaps worth doing a small one just to see if there any issues. Apparently the full-size wasn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik? Probably the most important WW2 aircraft that hardly anyone has heard of - an incredible 36,182 were produced! Sadly only one flying example remains. Brutal but brilliant. Edited By MattyB on 23/04/2016 23:10:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Good one Matty, I've always liked the look of the Il-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i12fly Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'd love a Swordfish, about 60" span. A popular plane, rugged for rough field flying but generous wing area to make it gentle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Posted by Colin Leighfield on 23/04/2016 23:20:45: Good one Matty, I've always liked the look of the Il-10. The IL10 was a development of the IL2. The main difference was that the wing was swept back more on the IL10 in order to move the c of g forward to allow for the weight of the rear gunner who was usually a lightweight chap, sometimes a woman, Let's look at the problem another way. How many sales of say a single engine scale model, would a kit manufacturer have to have in order to make a profit? If we knew this figure and a sufficient number were to pledge to buy say, an IL 10 kit, production could go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Dell Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Another one for the Sturmovik here in either guise. Also I am with Jon a Gladiator at that sort of size which would also mean another conversation with Jon for an 80! And another sheepish conversation with the missus over another box!😇👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 While on Sturmoviks, after the Il-2 and 10, via the 1l-10 based 16, came the Il-20, what about this for something different! LAter they used the I-20 title for a four-engined transport, but this is the original. In the thumb-nails you can see the (ultimate)? jet-engined Sturmovik. So many fascinating subjects, although probably not all good commercial model prospects.
