I'm happy for the DHC-2 Beaver to come with just wheels, it can sit parked next to my An-2 Colt. (I'm contemplating getting a Beechcraft Staggerwing to go with them, too.)

The Vultee Vanguard is, oddly, a new one for me but I like the look of it & either the Australian Army Air Corps or Royal Australian Marines Air Arm may get one.

To replace Army Aviation Gladiators?

Would love to see them also do one of the various 2 seat versions:





The thought occurs that dropping the two-seat interior and canopy on a Re2001 or Re2002 could make for an interesting simple wiff.

Which ones in particular?

Dora Wings, so far, have sometimes taken a bit longer than expected to release a kit (especially in 1/72) but I haven't noticed any that failed to appear.

I currently have these two 1/48 kits in my stash;



And nice looking kits, they are!

Sorry, I meant the first line.

I'm fairly sure most of the last couple of pages of kits have already been released.
