This is my guess in which planes will be updated. Everything in parenthesese are new planes that may come with each remodel.
- Spit & 109 (Thats a given)
- B17 & B26 (B17F, earlier B24)
- Tiffy, Temp, Hurr & Moss (with fixes to moss FM and DM, might add all fighter varient of moss)
- 110 & Ju88 (another ju88 model, solid nose version? and maybe me410)
- Lanc (Helifax)
- Ju87 (version with 37mm on wings, may add He-111 around now)
- P40 (add N version and maybe P39)
- Me 126, Me 262, Ta-152
-  Boston, A20, C47 (B25 and A26)

Then move on to another Theatre.
If it is PTO then:
- F4U
- F4F, FM2, F6F (F6F-3?)
- A6M2, A6M5B (A6M3)
- TBM, SBD (Hell Diver)
- B5N, D3A (later version of B5N and Judy)
- Ki61 & N1K (Ki44)
- Ki67 (Betty)
- (Brewster Buffalo, beaufighter)
- (B29, no A-Bomb possibility)

Eastern Front
- Yak9u, Yak9T (Yak-3)
- La5, La7
- IL2 (IL-4)
- (PE-2, PE-8)
- (SB-2, Tu-2)
- (Ju52)

These are only planes, I'm sure some new gv's will be added with each theatre.

I don't know what HTC's plans are, but my guess would be pretty much like Raptor's. I'd say any new Mossie would be more likely to be a bomber version and a Wellington would be a better choice than a Halifax from a scenario POV. A Ki 100 would be a pretty easy addition when they get round to the Ki 61. WRT the F4U, I'd like to see a F4U-1A purely from a skinning perspective. Hate that monotone blue scheme the USN went to in 44.

For an Eastern Front planeset, we'd need the MiG-3.

I think that the majority of planes will be updated WITHOUT new additions. If they do 2-3 planes at a time, and only add 1 minor (probably uber) variant each batch, that leaves a LOT of planes without new models.

I don't think we'll see early B17s or B24s.

At this rate it's going to be a couple years before all the planes are updated though.

They are starting to pick up the pace with the skinner team, easier for 4 or 5 people to do skins instead of 1 or 2.
