Since the most scientific way of gauging interest is usually a poll, here goes. This is a straight up and down one, no multiple choices. Vote early and often but only if you vote yes (just kiddin').
 
Hey, we don't want no stinkin' No votes :( , only Yes votes. Come on you Yes voters, I know you're out there.
 
Hey Bill, be sure to vote on this poll! We have to drum up interest in this so we can tip Andy's hand.
 
Can I vote 1000 times and disguise myself to get this started? :D

I'm all in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we have a lot more members since when this poll was first done, I thought it might be useful to bring it up again. I know Andy is working on it although he hasn't had too much luck yet.
 
DUHHHH!
This is kinda dumb don't ya think?
Who is going to have a logical reason why there should be no aircraft in the K&C line?
Even if I wasn't interested in aircraft is there a logical reason why they shoudn't be available?
Ray :confused:
 
There are some other companies that produce just about every aircraft under the sun - and quite well. I'm all in favor of KC adding a few new warbirds for specific situations - Mussolini/Skorenzy storch, Hess Me110, but would prefer some German U-boats since those are really unavailable from anyone else. So I guess I am a "maybe" vote.

As big a K&C collecter that I am, I could care less if Andy did more planes, sorry guys.

I like the U-Boat idea, but Andy has said it will never happen because (a) in 1/30 scale a U-Boat would be huge and a merchant ship or Destroyer Escort to oppose it would be like 20+ feet long and (2) there isn't enough interest in the Kriegsmarine among Toy Soldier collectors to make it worthwhile. However, could you imagine if Andy made not only the Warbirds, but the buildings, vehicles, pilots and ground crew in Today's superior sculpting and painting? If you think my old school RAF diorama is fun, I can't even tell you how much better the new stuff would look. All I can say is I have the prototype of an Austin Tilly RAF service vehicle done in todays sculpting and painting, and it is worlds better than the earlier Ambulances and Fuel Bowser.
 
I am so passionate about the WARBIRDS items that I would trade my three Arnhem sets in a heartbeat! That should sum it up chaps!

My first impulse was to vote no, due to high price and lack of display space considerations, but since Gary could care less, I'm voting a resounding YES!:D

I,ll have to vote no also just becuase most of you guys are the ones who shoot down my plastic king and country figure idea even though most of you would never have bought them anyway and seeing as how I don,t care about war planes and would never buy them either i,ll have to say no.:p It might take up to munch of andys time and keep him from making more napoleonics.:p Just kidding guys!!! I wouldn,t want to crush anyones dreams of what they want to see and wouldn,t make a list of reasons why andy shouldn,t make them like you guys did with my plastic idea:p even though I feel the same way about war planes as you guys do about plastics which I think would sell munch better than war birds.By the way this is just a joke so don,t start the plastic bashing all over again please. Who cares what andy makes as long as he still makes what we like.
 
Fish,

I understand your reasoning. However, would you like me to start a poll on K & C plastics? If so, I will. Just let me know what you would like asked. I assume it would be a straight yes or no.
 
I know it won,t happen, but I would love if Andy made unpainted plastics in the same scale as Conte,s and TSSD.
If he does this, I,ll change my no to warbirds.

Brad it was just a joke I wasn,t serious, and we already went through that already and andy said no deal anyway. I hope he makes the war birds for you guys good luck!
 
The warbirds don't really appeal to me but if you guys really want them and if Andy is prepared to make them then that's cool.

Maybe a better question would be "Would you buy the Warbirds?"

Actually an even better question would be "Would you like K&C to make BRITISH PARAS?"

Andy has heard you. He has stated several times on this forum and in his various talks that he is actively searching for a factory in China to produce Warbirds. The hardest thing is to find a factory that can do the same or better quality work. I posted pictures of two samples from one factory which got the "thumbs down.":)
