What should the next custom 1/18 scale aircraft be ? Poll 2

Post by pickelhaube » Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:17 pm

I will take Afergusons advice and do a follow up poll.

After the Sdkfz 222 project I will be doing a aircraft. I have ideas on the Spitfire and the Fw -190 these both could come out relativly fast. The Me-163 could take just a bit longer . It is a small little bird though and seems to be farley popular.

Well they all seem popular.

Here is the second poll.

John Wayne : Mine was taller

YES

all three

How about a Mk.V seafire? - knowing there were more than a couple variants - I think the tropical filter and the Royal Navy markings really look unique.

Please do a clipped wing Spitfire, I love the looks of that plane.
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Any would be nice but the Komet is fairly unique.

If possible, could you please give us a price estimate on them? It may help us decide which one we really want.
Thanks

He he ... when I was little (and that was many decades ago) I couldn't understand why it had such a small propeller on the airplane and how that would work when all the other aircraft had much larger props! :lol:

Pickel, over time could you offer us both the Spitfire and the ME1-63?

the komet's propeller would turn at very high speed, which is why it didn't need to be so big.

I will do ALL of these .

I am leaning toward the the Spit first and see how that will work out.

I would really like if some one can find a Spitfire with vokes and clipped wings in American colors.

All I can find is Brit makings. This livery has always been my fav Spit. Also the stone blue/ green paint with the clipped wings is a cool rendition as well.

Est cost of the UNPAINTED KITS

Trop/clipped Spitfire $ 250
Fw-190 A $ 250
Me-163 $ 150

Remeber these are estimated prices they could more OR less :D

i wonder if it would be a good idea to restart this poll, with the prices in mind. It may have an impact on the results as lots of people have already voted.

I could do better on the price.

I wanted to do a full airplane for both. But I could do the full fuselage for the 190 and a full fuse and wing tips only for the Spit. But the spit is hard to come by and pricey.

The 190 may not be as pricey as the Spit but they are getting harder to come by as well.

I was guessing @ $250 for both but when starte I will see what I can do :wink:

Yeah why not, 1 of each. Just have to sell some more of that tiny 1:32 scale armor for some cash.

I was never really a fan of the clipped-wing Spitfires because the regular eliptical wings were so pretty...

My vote is for the ME-163 Komet. While an FW-190A is sorely needed, the ME-163 is simply cool :wink:
