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)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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...
