I echo Taffy 3's wish for the Higgens and Elco in 1/35th scale also. I would also wish for a new 1/72nd scale subchaser. Some new 1/72nd scale P.T.'s also would xuit me too/

Hi Michael,

Wilhelm Gustloff in 1:350 would be interesting as this depicts the biggest catastrophy at sea so far when this big ship loaded with civilians and wounded soldiers was torpedoed by a russian submarine.

A tanker in 1:350 would also be highly welcomed by my side!

Would like an opponent ship to display against my 1/200 Russian destroyer; So how about a 1/200 Spruance?

In 1/350 still awaiting a late war Enterprise w/ hull bulges, or a late war Saratoga.

I'd love to see a Graf Spee in 1/200. All the detail opportunities of the Bismarck but in a more manageable size.

This is one of my all time pet-peeves-- wishing for ships that have been promised but never came-- or partially came. I've wanted a mainstream plastic manufacturer to release a USS Bainbridge and a USS Enterprise in 1/700 scale for the longest time to go with the release of the USS Long Beach, that way I could complete my "E=mc2 diorama of the three sailing together of that famous aerial shot taken back in 1962. A complement of sailors would be great too. So far, we got the Long Beach, the Enterprise was promised and not delivered, but the Bainbridge was never mentioned. These three Nuclear Navy firsts would be great.

The only ship still afloat that was at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. USCGC Taney.



Hi Stephen,

Revell did a "box scale" (1/303) USCGC Taney back in the 1950s. Although from the dawn of plastic modeling, it is a pretty decent kit. I don't think it is in production at the moment, but these models are easy to find on online auction sites.

Piggybacking on a couple of the earlier responses,

1. 1/35 Elco 77-foot PT boat, renderable in either SQUADRON 3 config or as PT 59/GB 1 (Sept 43).
2. USCGC TANEY in her 7 Dec 41 configuration.

How about USS Pennsylvania (BB 38) that was promised a couple years ago? I thought it was supposed to be released last year... Did I miss it?
