I like the idea of a Pave Hawk (one with skis would be interesting). MH-60L would be good, as would an Australian H-60 to go with the Chinook. Any US Navy Seahawk would be nice, early or late scheme.

Another US Navy Seaking would be welcome. If you are going to do a grey/white Seaking then why not one from the 1978 Nimitz Air Wing (HS-9? Griffins?) which would fit in nicely with the Century Wings 'Final Countdown' stuff. A Canadian Seaking would be nice - early scheme or a Gulf War scheme would be good.

A US Navy H-34 would be good.

As for H-19s I would like a float equipped USAF rescue one like the old monogram kit!

As for Chinooks, I have to be honest and say I have all the different, seakings, wessex and H-60 models but very few Chinooks. Just can't get that excited by it. Having said that a MH-47 would be quite interesting....

Sikorsky SH-3A, HS-2, SEA 'camoflage' combat search and rescue, Vietnam War :) Also similar to Raddger's post 'standard' high vis US Navy scheme 60's'70's. Same as for 'float' H-19 and Korean and Vietnam versions of this heli would be great. USN Seahawks too :)

I'd like an Australian Blackhawk and an Aussie Sea King in an operational scheme; however, based on the availability of the Aussie Seahawk and Sea King anniversary scheme aircraft, I'm not sure how keen Corgi would be on more Aussie schemes...

Here's the Sea King link (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sea_King_June_07.jpg)

And the Blackhawk link (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AA_Blackhawk_A25-218jpg.jpg)

At first reading, I did my usual 'I would like all of these' thought process.

But after a little reflection, I realised that what I would like more than just any and all of these, is schemes that would fit into coherent themes - for example, the raspberry ripple 'fleet' was built up over a few years and across multiple moulds.

I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting models that 'make sense' in the context of other releases, even across manufacturers. Another example would be the USAF Vietnam Camo fleet which is building up nicely, with a few manu's represented there.

So, looking at that list again, what stands out is the 'sub-themes' like the RCAF or RCN, Rescue etc.

Thats what I'm more interested now, rather than just random schemes.

Either a bog standard 'Black Hawk Down' model as used in the Somalian action or a UK based Pave Hawk:
