At that time Mr. Nebesar was

Aircraft Corporation. He has
since returned to his native
Czechoslovakia, and during last
year has been engaged on the design
of a small three-engined commercial
monoplane for the Avia
Company of P r a g u e .

What about the Sea Lightning?

It never got beyond the proposal stage, perhaps fortunately.

Wouldn't that be lovely .... and a nice CVA-01/HMS Furious to fly her off. :mixed-smiley-010:

Then I have some good news for you. :)

Personally I'd like to see some of the earlier model Supermarine Swift; not sure if they truly count as "rare", but definitely "rarely serviceable".
 
Got another suggestion: The Breguet 941 STOL cargo transport.

Seen below is the McDonnell equivalent: McDonnell 188

some simple ones some not

First a very simple one to do the Piper Colt,I know it's just a two seat Tripacer but have always liked them since my flying lession days, then two Champions ,the Champion 7JC Tri-Con (with nosewheel under the halfway point of the fuselage),and the Champion Lancer a twin engine Champ. Also love to see a freeware Bellanca 14-19 Cruisemaster and a Bellanca Viking. For Military ( a tough couple to do) Convair's XFV-1 Pogo and Lockheed XFV-1 VTOL, these would be a nightmare to do the FDE's for.Also I can't believe no one has done a Grumman F-11A Tiger.
 
I would absolutely be on Cloud Nine if somebody would build a Lisunov Li-2 (NATO code name: Cab) for FS2004. :jump: 4,937 have been built from 1939 till 1954 but none for FS2004 yet. :sorrow: So it can be considered "rare".
Twenty years ago I was one of the very lucky people to have experienced a one hour "local" flight from Eindhoven Airport (Netherlands) in the 1952 vintage Li-2T RA 01300 c/n 23441605 (see photo), seated on one of the side benches (no seat-belts available). Awesome!

I will check the source later today but I have an excellent (well-weathered) default DC3 repaint representing the Li-2 pretty much as shown in the photograph. I'm pretty sure I got it from AvsimRus but will check and confirm,
 
Thanks djs1. :)

Actually what I am really hoping for is that somebody will make a genuine Li-2 model (incl. FDE), the quality of the MAAM-SIM DC-3. The Li-2 differed in many aspects from the DC-3 and C-47 (different engines and nacelles, flight characteristics, undercarriage / landing gear, doors, windows and of course panel and instruments).
The only existing model of the Li-2 (as far as I know) is a Russian modification of the FSX default DC-3, which cannot be used in FS2004.

Anyway, thank you very much! Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Maarten
