1/48 Italeri A-4 Skyhawk
1/48 Italeri S-3 A/B Viking************ really want to do this one.

And a couple more but those are ones I have had in mind for quite a while.

Yep, probably ....

Catherine Zeta Jones

But since that will never happen, I would settle for a 1/72 Fiat G50 bis or freccia

Looks like we've got similar 'wants'.
That's one I'd forgotten Colin, the Tempest V in 1/32nd scale - and a new, 'bubbletop' Typhoon in the same scale. A Tempest would look fantastic in 1/32nd.
Also, a decent, affordable Blenheim MkI/MkIV in 1/48th, plus Whitley in the same scale, and a Meteor Mk8 too....

Now there's a pair I don't think I'd be able to walk past in a shop window...

I have had some urge to get my hands on a S-3 Viking for some reason. Has anyone built one?

I'd really like to get a 1/48 Mi-24 Hind-A, it looked like the D, but had a 'greenhouse' type cockpit with 3 crew. No models are available of this bird, only the more recognisable D varient with the twin cockpits. But I think the A looked cool! It might be possible to modify a model of the D to an A, but my skills wouldn't stretch that far.
