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

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

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

I would LOVE to see either a 1/350 or 1/700 Vittorio Veneto (please Trumpeter or Tamiya) along with all the PE goodies for it!

I would die for a 1/350 JMSDF Hyuga DDH.

If Hasegawa were to release it and it cost as much as the rest of their recent 1/350 ships, I really would die when the wife found out!

Someone mentioned a 1/144 Buckley class DE. I get the feeling that Revell only did the Fletcher because it was used by the West German Navy. They've been very much batting for the home side in that regard lately.

Well I might as well throw my hat into the ring with the following :-

1-350 HMS Ark Royal
1-350 Nelson/Rodney
1-350 HIJMS Fuso
1-350 Kaga
1-350 Roma
and for something completely different, a 1-350 Andrea Doria. Dragon are bringing out a 1-350 Scharnhorst and Academy are bringing out a 1-350 HMS Warspite. Combat Models from Korea have brougt out a Modern 1-350 USS Essex.....Cheers Mark

Especially T class, but also K, S.....anything

Well with news of a Queen Elizabeth coming out in 1/350 I can only hope that a 1/700 scale kit will follow along with some more of the class mainly the Warspite. Now this also applies to the Littorio / Italia.

The rest of my wish list in 1/700 plastic would be:
British carriers - Ark Royal (in 1/350 as well), Illustrious class and Implacable class
New mold KGV class which will allow for Anson and Howe to be built
British crusiers, heavy and light
Italian battleships
Italian crusiers
German K class light crusiers
More Destroyers and escorts of all nations - British, German, Italian, French and American

The list is really shrinking now.I got my Japanese Carriers,my Japanese Cruisers,A Graf Spee,A Assault Ship,U-Boats all in 1/350.

I still would love to see a 1/350 WWI Emden done in Hasegawa,DML,Aoshima,or Fujimi quality.

Lot of my wish list has been fulfilled of late, but as Dragon's Scharnhorst is on the way, how some of her opponants, particularly Norfolk, Belfast, Sheffield, Jamaica & S class destroyers, (A state of the art KGV would be better than nothing, but would rather see some new stuff first)

Also a Bogue class CVE, so i can build RN escort carriers, escort vessels, like Flowers, Hunts, Castles V&W class, (both destroyer fit & conversions)

Plastic prefered, cos I can afford more multiples of the escorts,.

Basically anything RN welcomed

Not asking much

A 1:350 HMS Nelson/Rodney
A 1:350 HMS Campbeltown with the option of building her as she appeared in the St Nazaire raid.
A 1:350 HMS Conqueror.
A new tool of the 1:72 Flower-class Corvette.
A 1:35 Vosper MTB, not sure which class they all look good. How about it Italeri?
A little bit off-topic but I've always wanted a large model of the Red October, not just a regular Typhoon re-packaged.

I'd love to see the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts DE-413 and/or the U.S.S. John C. Butler DE-339 in 1/350, as well as some other destroyer escorts in that scale. Might also be nice to see Revell follow up on their 1/144 U.S.S. Fletcher with those DE's in the larger scale.
