What WarBird should be Reproduce next ? 2018....

Curtiss P-40Q.

YES. I love P-40s, and I love the Q. Would be amazing to see even a static exzample.

Where's "Hang The Expense" these days? He might be up for it. He's got a lotta P-40 parts tooling...

I’d like to see a Supermarine Spiteful or a Seafang.

XP-67 Bat

By McDonnell I believe.

Mitsubishi F1M2 "Pete", exceptionally clean multipurpose bi plane float plane.
I mourn when I see photos of them abandoned on various Pacific beaches at the end of the conflict.

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien Fighter - Keep hearing about a couple being done, but nothing yet.

Kawasaki Ki - 100 Type 5 Figher - There is one complete survivor for a pattern and it uses a radial engine.

Consolidated B-32 Dominator - There is a complete one on the moon for a pattern.

A Messerschmitt 110 with Allison engines and an exhaust setup similar to the recent Allison powered Me-109 project.

This topic has come up before and I always have to throw in for the G-50 Fiat. Looks to be a relatively simple machine that should take an American radial and, I would think, have performance similar to a Zero or Oscar. I would also love to see a P-43 Lancer and, while I don't particularly care for it myself, I would not be surprised to see somebody do a run of Brewster Buffaloes at some point. And since it has been proven that an Allison can be shoehorned into the nose of a 109 I would LOVE to see somebody do a Macchi 202 or G-55 Fiat.

A project that has been ongoing for years but I'm sure not too many other than Swedes have heard about it. I'd like to see some progress on the J 22 - Memorial Flight » FFVS J 22 Restoration Project

I don't think the upright Allison would fit in a 110 or an early 109. an Me-210 or Me-410 should have enough clearance under the cowl like the later Bf-109s.

Like the OS2U, one or two coming from NZ in time.

Like a lot of the planes listed so far so I will go with a few between the wars types. Heinkel He 51, neat little biplane with lines and construction dating back to the Fokker D.VII. Fiat Cr 32, ditto. Berliner-Joyce P-16, last American two seat biplane fighter in the mold of the Bristol Brisfit. Curtiss F9C the biplane intended to be flown from airships, just looks so cool. Northrop A-17.

jaaf ki -61 hien / tony fighter!! I just love those lines & camo schemes of so many of them!! especially fighter ace kobayashi's ki 61.

What would you suggest for an engine for either of those? I'm guessing an Allison could be made to fit anywhere a Conqueror went for the P-16/ et alli (and would last forever running derated)
