Just put up an idea for a 1/144th Skylon spaceplane. Would go well with the White Knight/Spaceship Two they've just brought out.

The poll isn't up yet 'cos it has to be approved.

It may be more a browser thing.  The few I've added pictures to were done from work, using a Windoze version of Firefox.   I know I can't add pictures using my older, Linux version of Firefox from home.  So, it maybe that if you're using (gag) Safari or Chrome, it won't work?

My suggestions so far:

1/48 Mil Mi-8 Hip - LINK
1/144 Boeing 757 family - LINK
1/72 Su-17/22 Fitter family - LINK
1/72 F-16XL repop - LINK

This one's not from me, but a good idea that could use some backing: 1/72 MiG-21F-13 repop - LINK
And it's good to see Nils' 1/144 C-160 Transall (LINK) and C-130 Hercules (LINK) and Mossie's Viggens (LINK & LINK )suggestions are doing so well.  :)
Cheers,

During lunch today, I was scrolling through all the suggestions (slowly, what's up with Revell's site?) and along with my previous vote-getters (Chenowith DPV, HH-3, NH-90, F-16XL) I had to add a vote for the 1/48 B-2 and P-3. 

So many choices, it will be interesting to see which, if any, make it into production.

As this is Revell Germany trolling for ideas I wouldn't get too excited about 1/48th releases.

Personally, I think folks on all the various boards are reading way too much into this whole dog-n-pony show.
