1. HMS Nelson, because of the unique turret arrangement.
2. Prinz Eugen, so that we can all do a Bismarck/Prinz Eugen pairing
3. HMS Repulse, so that I can do a 'last seen at Singapore' pairing with Prince of Wales

4. HMAS Sydney - (No 2) lost off the coast of Western Australia in November 1941 with all hands after sinking the commerce raider Kormoran.

BELFAST!!!
this kit should have been made years ago.
I am still waiting for that 1/350 Kirov. I mailed Trumpeter if they had that one planned but they never replied.
Maybe Dragon wants to make it?
please?
please?

1) Other: IJN Akagi or Shokaku I can't imagine anything on this list (considering that there are already acceptable Bismark and Arizona kits) that would sell better or that I want more!
1a) Other: Roma BB (not sure how many others we can use)
2)HMS Nelson
3)Bismark (I just mentioned that the Tamiya one is acceptable but a new tool one would be awesome

No mention of scale... I'm guessing 350th as they've already released an Arizona in 700th
If I gotta stay on the list:
1 - USS Arizona BB-39 Battleship (Let's face it, both the Banner & ISW kit need some serious help)
2 - USS Baltimore CA-68 Heavy Cruiser
3 - HMS Belfast Light Cruiser
If I can add others:
3: Other: IJN Akagi 1941
4: Bogue CVE-9

Im kinda of the same mind for WWII
A DECENT Arizona or
now that there's a new Hood
Prinz Eugen all the way
I personally would like to see something off the beaten path and modern, a 1/350 Tarawa with Harriers, choppers galore and air cushion landing craft, or heck even an Invincible class. DML does these in 700.... Although 1/200 would be really nice....Trumpy seems hellbent on doing EVERY WWII carrier....Large scale escort or attack carriers would make a fun project that doesn't take years to complete...

First choice : Belfast
Second choice : Nelson
Third choice : Prinz Eugen
For the next round I would suggest the following subjects :
a: Bogue class Escort carrier in USN and RN variants
b: Illustrious class armoured carrier (e.g. Illustrious, 1940 at Taranto, Victorious, 1941 for Bismarck chase and Formidable, 1945 British Pacific Fleet.
c: County class cruiser (WW2)
d: Town class cruiser (WW2)
Second choice : Nelson
Third choice : Prinz Eugen

Skipper
Is Dragon monitoring this or are they asking you to send them a tallied report? I would be interested to see at the end which was the most requested, rough guess it looks like IJN Takao which was my first choice of the offerings
