what would be the scheme to tempt you most?

I'd start with Peter Vacher's Hurricane I closely followed by Mk I V7524 coded TP-S of 73 Sqn El Adem, Libya feb 1941; dark earth and mid stone upper surfaces with sky blue undersides (P25 Scale Aircraft Model Combat Colours No.2).... and would even be interested in that wierd Iraqi two seater with open cockpit (but suppose we are talking new moulds here).....and of course we must have a sexy black one? :D

Ah well thats the first 10 taken care of... hope you have the space.. be far simpler if they just do the Zero... you would only buy the one.. think of all the money you would save..

Yes you would.. everyone has their price.... and it might be a bit of alright... no nose art... perhaps a 1/32 samurai warrior and sword etc.. bit of palm tree... :D

Battle of Britain Hurricane in 56 Squadron markings. If not then it would have to be Tucky's as I am partial to all the swazis under the cockpit. :p

All good stuff this... some of it should be considered for 1/72 let alone 1/32.... :D

couldnt agree more...wheres the corgi suggestion box....... :rolleyes:
minter
9th February 2005, 11:52
at least corgi have redressed the balance a little with the mcknight hurri.like that one could be popular
Agent X20
9th February 2005, 12:05
Naw.. disagree there.. go so much to say as it will be popular.. (unless they try for 7100 of them!! :D :D )

It has all the right credentials and will look good alongside its sister legend ( as long as the colours are vaguely the same..pleeease..) and other BoB stuff, all of which we appear never to get enough of judging by the prices...

cant go wrong with this peroid of history, just dont do them as legends, bader,lane and nueman still around ....but just wait till the me 110 comes out...a feeding frenzy i fear, a star tooling IMHO..if and when :o

....but just wait till the me 110 comes out...a feeding frenzy i fear, a star tooling IMHO..if and when :o

If you want an Me110, that Yankee lot are doing a 1:18th one... imagine trying to get that past Mrs Mint.. yer would have to be very schloshed.. or she would.. :D

Have a funny feeling the 110 is going to resemble a London bus.. Standing back from the fray, it has to be a very possible Dragon subject as they are into German stuff with tons of subjects and Knights Cross Edition fancy stands. It cant have escaped Corgis attention that they could make a bob or two from it.. or the likes of Witty Wings... Theres not really a lot to an Me110.. must be good profit margins..

Trouble is with Corgi, they will do the purple one first.?... :D

My suggestion is Hurricane P3358 flown by Pilot Officer WML (Billy) Fiske of 601 Squadron RAFVR. An all American hero, Olympic Gold Medallist in the bobsleigh at the age of 16 and killed in the Battle of Britain 16/08/40.

Would appeal to BoB fans, the US market and film buffs as Tom Cruise is portraying him in a forthcoming film about 'The Few'

Well we had better get ourselves a new pilot figure mold... Corgi's is way too tall and If Mr C sees it he will sue.... :D Trouble is will the film company claim rights to the plane and all things connected..? Answer would be to knock one out now.. :D

wouldnt be my first choice, not taking anything away from billy fiske,and if its done first might hang on to see if they do a british ace but any reference to cruise on the box or anywhere would p#ss me right off

Any Bob one, or maybe a BoF one with one black and one white wing
