    A Bf-109T would be in order; there's not a great deal of difference: arrestor hook and a bit longer wingspan.
    I'd have to research what the navalized Stuka looked like.

    I normally remove the arrestor hook as they either disappear in the scaling or look stupid. I've done Bf-109 B,C,F & G. I'll have to work out which is closest.
    Also I came across info about the BV-155 being considered for use in the latter years of the war when they were trying to resurrect the project.

    Just looked at some images; I would say not to bother with it. I doubt if they would pass the SW process (too thin).
    The T was a modified Emil, so your closest done might be the C model. otherwise, start with a Emil, and mod that

    The Vultee A-31/A-35 Vengeance dive bomber would make an interesting model. Originally designed to meet a French requirement, the Vengeance had a 'W' shaped wing, apparently due to a design error that initially placed the center of gravity too far forward. The RAF inherited most of the Armee de l'Air's order, and the USAAF became briefly interested in dive bombing as well once the US entered the war, but then the British remembered how they'd dealt with the Stuka in the Battle of Britain and the Army Air Force was never really very enthusiastic about dedicated dive bombers anyway, so the Vengeance didn't see combat for the US and was used in secondary theaters by Commonwealth forces. It did see extensive service in Burma for both the RAF and Indian Air Force, and was used by the Royal Australian Air Force over New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies before being replaced in the summer of 1944 with B-24 Liberators, which for all their fine qualities were not close support/army co-op aircraft. While the BT-13/SNV 'Vibrator' was an important trainer for American pilots during the war, the Vengeance was the only Vultee design to see combat service in WWII.

    Honestly I had ignored the SBD, as I knew it was coming from Ares, and I have a pile from Merit myself.
    I do have a soft spot for the Dauntless though, so I'll have a look.

    I will consider doing anything. That's going to be huge, and isn't there a 1:200 diecast out there?

    Edit: it's a 1:144, but keeps on coming up in searches as it's the F.W.200.
    I'll have a look some time.

    Here's a request for the Mitsubishi Ki-51 Army Type 99 Assault Plane, better known to the Allies as the Sonia. An attractive little reconnaissance/light attack/dive bomber type, it first saw service in China in 1939 and was primarily employed in the CBI theater. With its fixed landing gear, it was quite slow, although apparently one gave Charles Lindbergh (who was flying a P-38) all he could handle when he made the mistake of getting into a turning fight with it. Ki-51s which survived WWII were probably employed by both the Nationalists and the Communists in the Chinese civil war.

After the fall of the East Indies, six surviving aircraft were operated by the Royal Australian Air Force. Meanwhile, even though it had been beaten out by the Blohm und Voss BV 138 for Luftwaffe use, the Germans were impressed by the Do.24, so when its production facilities in Holland came under their control, over a hundred and fifty aircraft were built for the Luftwaffe and used for patrol and air-sea rescue, making the Dornier 24 one of the few aircraft to see extensive use by both Allied and Axis forces in World War Two. After the war, Do.24s was still in use by Sweden, France and Spain, with the Spanish aircraft remaining operational into the Sixties. I claim no ownership of the following images; they're provided to illustrate what making a model could involve.

    This is a request for the Vultee V-11/V-12 light attack bomber of the late Thirties. Based on their successful V-1 passenger design, the V-11 was Vultee's first attempt to become a major supplier of combat aircraft to the US military and export customers. The V-11 was a reasonably attractive aircraft and looked capable, but its performance was uninspiring, especially once a third crewman was added to the V-11GB model. The Army Air Corps would eventually buy a few V-11s and designate them A-19s, but it soon became obvious that the Douglas A-20 had far more potential. Export customers included Brazil, the Soviet Union and Turkey, but the most significant foreign operator was the Republic of China, which purchased about 100 V-11s and V-12s (a cleaned up and slightly more aerodynamic model) and used them against the Japanese, although with mostly unimpressive results.

    The Vultee V-11 looks like a radial engine Fairey Battle.

    Same era, same concept - low wing monoplane fast bomber intended to outrun the biplane fighters of the time.

    Which worked until fast monoplane fighters showed up

They were also used in the SW Pacific through 1943, as torpedo bombers at Midway, and by the RAF and South African Air Force. The B-26 is also perhaps the best looking WWII era American bomber-even motionless on the ground, everything about it screams 'hot ship' .

    Very, very nice, Steve. I have an AIM B-26B and -A now ,but there's always room for another Marauder or two, especially when yours have nose and tail guns, radio antennae, etc.

    Wouldn't mind seeing the CANT Z.501 Gabbiano done; always have been fond of seaplanes, and the Gabbiano, while obsolescent when Italy entered the war, was an interesting design that had been a record-setter in the Thirties. It was also Italy's only flying boat (as opposed to floatplane) to see service during the war. The Z.501 was appallingly vulnerable to enemy aircraft, but was used throughout World War II, and a few remained in service until 1949.

    This is a request for a rare and very unusual Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft, the Aichi E11A. The Type 98 Night Reconnaissance Seaplane (codenamed 'Laura' by the Allies) was intended for night gunfire spotting for IJN battleships and cruisers. Until I bought Eduardo Cea'sThe Air Force of the Japanese Imperial Navy: Carrier-based Aircraft, 1922-1945 (II), I had no idea that the Laura existed, or that the Imperial Navy ever used catapult-launched flying boats. Only 17 E11As were built, and they ended up serving not aboard IJN battleships, but instead light cruisers, which typically served as flotilla leaders. Although they were phased out of service in 1942, E11s remained operational long enough to take part in the Imperial Navy's attacks on Midway and the Aleutians.

    Sadly my ordered pair of Westland Pterodactyl V's did not survive 3D printing, I guess I will have to resort to elven powers . . .

    Could you send me pictures? See if it's something I can strengthen up.

    Shapeways did not send the remains, just notified me that the model would not print and they refunded my $. They did say they would be letting you know so a fix may be attempted . . .

    "Hi David, Thanks again for placing an order with Shapeways. Unfortunately, we are unable to manufacture one of the products in order #1473413. Given the nature of 3D printing, every now and then we catch designs that are too fragile to create in certain materials. Though we do our best to identify these issues as early as possible, some are only found during the manufacturing process. We will refund $15.20 to your original payment method for the following: 2x Westland Pterodactyl V 1:200 WSF in White Strong & Flexible You can view the status of your payment on your Order Status Page. We've already notified the designer that your product could not be manufactured, and you can also contact them using the link above. They can help resolve the issues found during the manufacturing process. Your satisfaction is our top priority. Email us at service@shapeways.com if you would like help working with the designer or finding another unique product on Shapeways."

    My emails from Shapeways have been playing up for weeks. I'll go through all my bits to fix that side of things.
    In the meanwhile, I have bulked up the Pterodactyl as the struts weren't quite up to their liking. I do think they change there mind over things from one day to the next.

    Thanks, Pete--I keep all my WGS models in 1/200 scale, but your efforts are appreciated. Speaking of 1/200, here's one more vote for a release of your Beaufort in that scale .

    This is a request for the Vultee V-1. A large single-engined airliner, the V-1 first flew in 1933, and for a brief period looked like it might get Vultee 'into the game' as an up and coming civil aircraft manufacturer, as American Airlines bought 14 V-1s and were pleased with them. However, the CAB pretty well regulated single-engined airliners out of use by 1936, and the Spanish Republic moved to acquire 16 V-1s (one was sabotaged by Nationalist agents, and another four were eventually captured by the Nationalists), using them as high-speed transports and bombers.

    Do you want just the liner, or the bomber too?
    I'll see what I can do. I've been looking for a new project.

    Thanks, Steve. I'd prefer the bomber, although they're both attractive aircraft, in a mid-Thirties kind of way.

    good evening chaps,

    i'd like to put in a request for a Douglas DB-8A/3N.
    That's the plane the Dutch Airforce in May 1940 also used. To no avail I'm sorry to say.
    After the day of the invasion by the Germans (May 10th 1940) none of them were operational ...
