A 1/72 scale SR-71 done in the detailing you would see with CW or even as the Franklin mint had done in the past. That aircraft was so unique and incredible it deserves to be made in a quality piece by some manufacturer out there.

I agree an F-5 or T-38 Talon would be pretty nice.

Speaking of trainers, I wish someone out there would do a really nice high quality Cessna 172. Many a pilot learned the basics in that aircraft including myself. I would love to see one made that I could display without it looking like a cheap toy on my desk.

I would like to see some of the Rutan designs as well, a beautiful diecast of those would be great to display on a shelf.
