Everything should be in 1/48 scale.
My favorite scale.

Nah! Other way around - start on 1/72nd, then start scratch-building and conversion, then start on 1/48th - then run out of space !!
Hi folks,
As I dislike starting new threads because it just adds to the clutter, on the topic of 1:48 scale, anyone have a wishlist? Ie: types that simply don't exist in 1:48. I'd a number for several years which I eventually found (Avro CF105 Arrow, Wellington are two that come to mind).
Sterling
Sunderland
Halifax
DH DH88 Comet
BV 141
TA 183
Yak 52
To name a few that I want, but sadly, to my knowledge..unless I drop down to the ridiculously small 1:72 scale....
It's probably easier to request all, or at least most, of those kits done in 1/72nd scale, but not in 1/48th scale, to be released in the latter scale!
Plus some better examples , or at least 'newly tooled' examples of existing 1/48th scale kits.
Just 30 years ago, you could almost count on the fingers of both hands the total amount of then current kits in 1/48th scale, and now, it seems we have a huge amount of them - but it's peanuts compared to mainline 1/72nd scale offerings.
Like Jan, I'd like to see the Blenheim(s), Halifax, Stirling, Hampden, Whitley, and another Lancaster and Wellington, at realistic prices, plus a whole host of other stuff from WW2 to the 1980s -ish, to include Meteors, Hunters, Gnat, Piston Provost, FIAT G91, Hudson, Ventura, Walrus, and probably all of the stuff done so far as short-run kits, which fetch bl**dy ridiculous prices on the 'pre-owned' market - an indication of just how 'wanted' they actually are.
I do understand the economics of releasing 'immediately saleable' kits, but for ****s sake, how many Spitfires, Mustangs and Messerschmitts do we need !?!!
