Since it appears major IJN subjects will be covered in 1:350 in the next few years (including, I hope the Aobas/Furutakas), other nationalities should get the nod as well such as:
1. The American Big Five (in pre-war form, they could all be packaged in the same box--hint, hint Trumpy!)
2. WWII Scharnhorst/Gneisenau
3. Indianapolis
4. Nelson/Rodney
5. Independence-class CVL

Hmm, since starting into paper modeling and the rather generous 1/200 scale offerings of that particular venue it is sort of a moot point, but I would like to see:
1. Gearing Class Destroyer
2. Kuma Class IJN 5500 Ton Cruiser
3. French Dreadnaught Battle Cruiser
4. Sendai Class IJN 5500 Ton Cruiser
5. IJN Mutsuki Destroyer
1. Gearing Class Destroyer

Hi All,
Mostly cruisers I think. Anyway, in no particular order
HMS Colombo (AA conversion)
Dido class (5 turret)
HMS Exeter
Nurenberg
Admiral Scheer
I'd also like to see any/all WW2 RN destroyers and some escort carriers
They say 'Hope springs eternal'
TTFN
Tom

A USS Hull DD945 It was the last of the all gun destroyers, she now rests in peace on the bottom after being mowed down by missles. I almost died when I saw the pics.
