Other fleets
Are there any space/military programs in the world whose launch vehicles/weapons anyone here feels are under-represented in model rocketry? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this topic has come up in the past...

There was a poll a while back with regard to scale model subjects. These were divided into military, research, and manned with appropriate division by US or non-US. It was under the Vendors section I think.

For that matter, we don't even see very many scale model kits of Soviet/Russian missiles and research (sounding) rockets. Historic space launch vehicles, for sure, but not much else, and not even much in the way of current boosters besides the Soyuz.
No ISRO (Indian Space Agency) stuff or even much from JAXA either.

The thing about building rockets and missiles from the US (many), Canada (Black Brants), Britain (Black Knight, Thunderbird), France (Exocet), Germany (Aggregate series), etc. is that they are instantly recognizable to your fellow rocketeers. The more knowledgeable among them may know the rockets so well that their main interest is in how well your particular version represents the prototype. That won't be the case with most of these less-frequently built rockets, at least until they become better known, so everyone at the launch will mostly just have to take your word for it.

Kitting is market assessment. To your point, if it is not known to "a resonable buyer", it will not sell. All else is wishful thinking. Why is it that I can sell 35 Pershing 1a models while an R-5 Vertikal is a one of? I was really surprised when Fliskits came out with the Thunderbird, very happy to see it, but surprised nonetheless. Now, about that Bloodhound Jim!?!?

Yes, I was interested in what would interest other BAR's for scratch-builds.
I expect the private guys to have more stuff for us to work from, as well. And yes, the idea of righteous assessment by fellow BARS would always be welcome, and probably more to the point.
