One time offer for a special request..........

[pplace]

I've been searching around for an interesting project but nothing has stuck out at me to model.

So I thought I would make this offer.

I want to give a chance for you (anyone) to request a scale airplane to model.(must be fixed wing)

The FIRST 10 requests that contain "DETAILED" 3-views (no rough outline 3-views) will be accepted for the next "round" (any requests after the first ten I won't even consider....otherwise this thread could end up with a 100 requests)

From this group of 10 requests I will select 5 that I would best like to work on. From that 5 I will create a poll, and have any other interested forum members vote on which 1 model I should create.

The criteria that it must fit: Any of these descriptions
-WWII Era Fighter
-WWII Era Heavy Bomber (prop driven)
-WWII Era Float/Amphibious

Remember only the first 10 requests (with detailed 3-views will be looked at)

After the final 1 has been chosen I will then begin to work on this project among my other projects (I always have a couple projects going at once so I can take a break on one and work on the others)

Here's my request

Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu (Helen) There's so many german and american planes out there already, I figure I'd throw a Japanese bomber at you

My vote is for the HE-111Z. Pretty unique looking airplane.

Haha, this is a little off topic, but I just realized there are three Minnesotans on here...

How about a Ryan FR-1 Fireball, I have a two-part 3-view attached, complete with cross sections, if you need detail on any parts, ask. Thanks. Two more images, one of the Gear, one full 3-view, with underside.

I would love it if you made a Boeing 314 Clipper:

Curtis-Wright XP-55 Ascender. Absolutely gorgeous plane to see in the air. Wish I could see one in RF. Any way to make one for G3.5 and G4? If not, do G4 because I will upgrade eventually.

 

[Norton]

French Float Plane that was used by the Germans to after France Surrendered.

I picked the same as kmot so i deleted it and thought of this.

(Latecoere, Breguet 298)

The Latécoère 298(sometimes abridged to Laté 298) was a French seaplane that served during World War II. It was designed primarily as a torpedo bomber, but served also as a dive bomber against land and naval targets, and as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft. Of a sturdy and reliable construction and possessing good manoeuvrability, it was France's most successful military seaplane, and served throughout the war in various guises.

I have alot more info if need be.

Cheers.

Kmot.....beautiful plane and excellent plans (very very detailed) One thing I wasn't seeing though is the top view of the wings? (They are cut off in all the plans I saw?) Am I missing something or are they not there?

Fairey Gannet

efinkg, also very nice plans would be great to work from. Just curious (I don't know anything about this aircraft) is it a prop / jet hybrid? (looking at the rear of the plane)

Very interesting!

Edit: I count 8 spots taken.....two left!!!

Yes, it had a big radial in the nose, and a turbojet in the tail, was planned for anti-kamikaze missions, but never made it into service. I have a great uncle who flew them, so it has personal meaning to me.

Well since spot number 10 hasn't been filled yet. I'll put a request of my own in!haha

The Fokker G.1

After looking over all the requests....I honestly can't narrow it to 5. So I will now start a new thread with a poll (since I can't edit this one to have a poll)

I will leave the poll open for a couple days (depending on the amount of votes.....not many votes I might leave it open longer.)

Then the highest voted for request I will then begin to model.

Look for the new thread: Vote for your favorite request

Edit: To be fair I won't vote on my model.....but I will pick a favorite out of the other 9
