I do not do LPR kits. All my kits are MPR/HPR.

Sorry to bother you then

An Arapahoe would be cool. The boattail is the tough part of the design. (posting to an old thread) lol​

3" Torrelian Invader. Most is easy, nosecone would be the hard part.

The nose cone would need to be 3D printed, but how about the Explorer Aquarius?

 

[KenECoyote]

I would like to do an upscale of the Blackhawk or Buck Rogers starfighter.

YES!!!

I did both of these in 4" and they did not sell very well.

Not really an upscale, but maybe a full-scale replica of the Soviet AT-3 "Sagger" (Soviet name Malyutka GRAU index 9M14) anti-tank missile. You would need to use conventional rear-exit propulsion (rather than the side exhaust)

I would be interested in doing this in 4" dia if there is enough interest.

Upscales of the original Goony concepts by Dorffler/Kellner would be awesome! I never cared for the paint/graphics schemes of the originals. Hopefully eRockets/Semroc wouldn’t have a problem with it though as upscales they likely wouldn’t.

4" dia Sky Shriek and Zoom Broom. Decals would be a problem, you would have to see if stickershock can make them or if they have them.

Really?!? Nuts...

I am interested for sure.

I am not sure if you could even do it, but I have always wanted to do a 4-inch of the Buck Rogers Star Fighter.

I have looked at it and the blackhawk multi times and they both would be a nightmare to try and kit.

You can say that again. I think 3D printers could make a difference. I might try to work on that for my next project.

Here are a few more ideas.

The blackhawk I have started to figure out how to make everything work, just have not had time to get back at it. Not giving up on that one yet.

I like the Russian Kh-58 Kilter. Will have to take a look at that one.

Not to hijack the thread too much but what ever happened to 3D Rocketry? 3D had some interesting looking kits…

 

[Pinetree]

I'd love to see a 3" x 48" Estes Citation Patriot upscale with a 38mm motor mount. Nothing fancy, single deployment w/a Jolly Logic.

You make it, and I will buy one. Thanks.

Here is a quick render of the Sagger.

As you wish…though you’d need to ask for bigger motor mount - https://galacticmanufacturing.com/p...ter-citation-patriot-upgrade-deluxe-parts-kit

 

[Pinetree]

I've been eyeing that one.

 

[neil_w]

What about a big ol' EAC Viper?

 

[rocketgeek101]

How about an upscaled version of the now OOP Estes QCC Explorer? That would be pretty cool. One of the best looking designs Estes has ever made IMO.

How about a 4" dia 54mm motor mount and dual deployment?
