If you could have any one model, cost and manufacter date not withstanding, what and why would it be? I want the resin Buffalo by Vajsra. My dad served in the eod for two tours and this would be a tribute to him.

Trumpeter P-47D, 1/32 scale, or the Hasegawa 1/350 Gambier Bay. Both outside both my price (and skill) range, but I'd love either one.

the Revell 1:72 Flower class corvette, with all the replacement sets from Great Little Ships, which basically means everything gets replaced except for the hull. Costs a fortune, takes a century to build. Maybe one day.....

I'd have to go for one of the new Accurate Armour Fodens, or Their Mighty Antar, out of my price range, and ability level...., we can but dream.

Good choice. I've one that I plan on keeping me busy for the winter. Will probably only replace the weapons sets. Had considered doing as a Kriegsmarine version with loads of AAA but it would be too much scratch building.

If I didn't have to worry about expense the one existing model I'd love is the Accurate Armor Coyote

It just looks the business!

I had to give this one some thought, the Revell Corvette sounds inviting, a 1/24 scale Mosquito sounds inviting. But after some thought, my choice would be the Wingnuts 1/32 Gotha. I think I would be afraid to build it if I had it, afraid of screwing it up. But yes, that would be my choice.

PJ Production 1:48 Alpha Jet A in Luftwaffe markings. That would be my choice. But a little bit pricy

I too would like to have that model and the Cougar MRAP that was put out by Cromwell models a few years back. I work for the company that builds these vehicles, so I would like to have them on my shelf.

These things are all Business! I've seen a couple running around here at the base I'm at in Afghanistan. It caught me off guard or I would have got a couple pics of it!
