The Fokker 50 was one of JC Wings earliest moulds being first produced in 2008 but its usage has been very low considering that the aircraft sold a respectable 214 units and served globally (although not in the USA) for well over 25 years. The existing releases include some lovely but often rather random examples and most of them are very hard to find nowadays anyway.
The majority of existing releases could probably do with a re-release but outside of them there is a nice selection of other F50s crying out to be made. These are NOT for niche airlines. This list contains 22 options the majority of which are in the colours of national flag carriers. I have excluded more unusual and obscure airlines from the list and believe that all 22 of these releases would be viable at even JC Wings production levels. Unfortunately it seems JC have lost access to the mould so it is hard to see more F50s being made unless 3D Design Deck decide to take a look at it.
Prototype
Benelux / Central Europe / UK
Northern Europe
Southern Europe & Africa
South America
Summary
So there we have it an easy 22 unmade F50s that I feel would command decent sales. For me the top 5 would be:
- Prototype
- AirUK
- Luxair
- Austrian
- Flugleidir
However I suspect I’d buy all of them!
