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)

[Cowboy]

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 :D

[Pepsi_Guy]

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...

[efinkg]

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]

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?

[vonfife911]

how about a Fairey Gannet http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/gannet_1_3v.jpg http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/gannet_2_3v.jpg which is a ww2 plane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

How about a H - 75?

While thus far I like them all, can I second Zelatio's suggestion?

Me too very happy with all the requests......it'll be hard to pick 5 out!! I will either have to pick on quality of the plans.....and if I can't get a clear 5 picked out maybe I'll poll all 10 for a winner!! We'll see

[pplace]

1 spot left!!

Entries go as follows:

Blade Scraper: Short Sunderland

Cowboy: Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu (Helen)

[pplace]

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

[daycent]

well nuts... i was trying to find a 3-view of an A-26, but i'm not in any forums that i can easily grab it... poo... and i didn't think the little 2 inch by 2 inch picture would suffice as 'detailed'

[pplace]

Like this one?

[daycent]

yeah... but i'm getting dizzy going between this conversation and the poll... :D
good set of views... maybe i'll save that to be my first butcher of a build...
