Since I am stuck on a TDY right now and cannot work on the Mikuma, I have been browsing the internet looking at other modelers ships and it got me thinking about the model kits not yet created and their wonderful accessories

For me, I would like to see
1/35 Vosper Patrol Boat
A Newer Tooling of a 1/350 USS Arizona, and a wood deck offering for said kit, and an accompanying Lion Roar Detail set
Accurate 1/350 USS Enterprise CV-6 with wood deck, and PE Set
1/350 USS Atlanta CL-51
1/350 HMS Dreadnought
1/350 HMS Nelson (1931)


What would you like to see?

Well, I would really like an early USS Midway, straight deck.

All of the above plus a 1/350 HMS Warspite , the greatest battleship ever, in plastic. I swear, and you folks are my witness, if anybody ever comes out with this ship I will never ask for anything else again.

A 1:72 type XXI uboat from Revell

A 1:72 (waterline) type II B from MPM/special Navy

Edit: ad a IX too in 1:72

Cheers/Jan

I would like to see Fujimi release the Itsukushima, Yaeyama, and Shirataka to complement their 1/700 Tsugaru/Okinoshima kits.




Bob Pink.

I would like to see a 1/700 plastic USS Texas in WW1 fit. I know that one company is already issuing 1/700 dreadnoughts in plastic.

Kenny

Who,Who,Who and where can i get them? I promise to be good for the rest of the year

Here

i wish somebody made HMS Malaya in 1/350 and in plastic of course....

Now I remember that story and I even rated it. Thanks for the reminder.
Cheers,

WW II British carriers and the American Big Five in 1:350.

The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen in 1/350......
Trumpeter claimed they had one coming last spring

Hey Andy,

It's out. I saw it on the list to be reviewed by IPMS/USA today.

We will be reveiwing a copy for the site as well. Hopefully really soon too.

Gato/Balao class sub in 350
Scharnhorst/Gneisnenau in 350
USS Freedom (LCS 1) in 350

All with waterline option.

Joe

Happy now Joe?

Yes Rob, very happy. One down, two to go.

Oh yes 1-350 HMS Warspite has to be my first pick of the day, maybe by Hasegawa or Tamiya with a good pe set.
Matkin Island with really good looking aircraft (not solid looking blobs) with pe enclosed, or is that pushing my luck to far ?
And of course, buildings, loads and loads of varied sized buildings both in 1-350 and of course 1-700 scale.



I might not be good, but at lease you get pix lol

a 1/350 fuso
cmon tamiya,hasegawa, fujimi,and aoshima lets get a kit of this awesomely cool battleship already

My list keeps shrinking every year. Ain't it a glorious time? My number one is still the 350 scale Littorio, though I did receive a PM from one of the big guys at Trumpeter that they were looking at and planning to do it for release in late 2010. After that, well

a 350 scale Baltimore class HC
a 350 Brooklyn class LC
one of the Escort (Jeep) carriers in 350 scale
one of the British carriers in 350
an early Elco Pt boat in 35th
a 350 scale Gato class sub

Looking at the 1:350 WWII warship situation, we have the following coverage so far:

IJN--in CVs we have the Akagi and Shokaku; for BBs only the Fuso class left to do (I've heard an all-gun Hyuga is in the works); for CAs 3 of 6 classes are out or soon will be; for CLs 1 or 2 classes of 5,000 tonners and a Yahagi; for DDs just three classes represented for far; other escorts are being covered; 2 or 3 submarines and no auxiliaries in injection molding.

USN--for CVs there's Lexington/Saratoga, Hornet, and both hull types for the Essex; all the fast BB classes are covered and the Arizona; only the San Francisco for CAs; no CLs officially, but I've heard this will change in a few months; for DDs we have the Fletcher, Buchanan/Laffey, and Gearing; haven't heard if a Gato is coming out yet; no
auxiliaries, though.

DKM--Bismarck/Tirpitz for BBs, and soon a Scharnhorst; Graf Spee for panzershiffe; Prinz Eugen for the CAs (and Hipper later?); no CLs or DDs so far; U-boats, of course and a schnellboot.

French Navy--Richelieu and nothing else I'm aware of....

Italian Navy--just the Pola-class CA so far, officially.

Soviet Navy--no known WWII developments in 1:350.

Royal Navy--just the KGV class and the Hood & Repulse--sad, sad, sad!!!!!!

I've probably left something out, but, we still have a ways to go.

--Karl

more British and Italian, less German.

more auxiliaries.

Im also aching for a state of the art PLASTIC sail ship....

I looks like we have a 17th and an 18th century Russian sail warship out, though I doubt they're state of the art.



--Karl

I just hope they are not like the old (bad) Heller kits of yonder... I managed to pick the 1/72 Zvezda ancient ships at a fraction of their MSRP (the Trireme, Cog and Crusader). Plastic looks crisp and good moulding, will be awhile till I actually build them though.

I would like some WWII Royal Navy Submarines, if possible Hobby Boss or similar quality in 1/700...
S-Class
T-Class
U-Class

A Royal Navy T-class sub in 1:72....now that would be some mass of plastic!

--Karl

Some RN cruisers - HMS Sheffield, London et al. It's hard to beleive that these significant subjects have yet to be kit-ed (in plastic).

Equally, I'm sure there's a potential market for RN corvettes and frigates (in the smaller scale). Again, significant subject matter, with countless options (for re-boxing and marketing spin).

I guess I'll just have to dream-on and stick with the (marginally more) expensive resin kits

Cheers

Karol

I'd like to see an American escort or jeep carrier in 1/350 scale - plastic, and affordable.
Troy

I'd love to see a swift in platic and 1/35th of course. How about some brown water moniters in plastic too

How about a Buckley class DE, like USS England, in 1/144, To go along with the RoG Fletcher? A plastic kit of a Vietnam-era PACV, in 1/35, would also be nice. Al
