Perhaps a big omission to me is the lack of a Forrestel class carrier in 1/350.
That would be great.

Assuming you meant injection plastic.

While we are at it, how about:

British cruisers like Ajax, Exeter. Or battleships of QE class, Valiant, Warspite

But what I'd really like is some italian stuff, like Zara, Bolzano, Venetto, etc.

Can't believe nobody hasn't done a whichita class cruiser, that's one menacing looking ship,that would sell well, methinks.

If they could do them in 1/350, well then, but I'm mostly a 1/700 guy.

1/700 plastic Warspite. I can't understand why there's not one of these out there.

I'd love to build the Constellation or America.

To be honest, I'd really like the USS JFK in 1/350 scale but as it was in it's own class, I know that's a pipe dream.

Almost everything is available now (Bismarck class, Scharnhorst class, Hipper class, Deutschland class, S-boats, U-boats...

All that is missing is a light cruiser - Emden, K class, Leipzig or Nurnberg.

But what would be nice is any one of the disguised merchant raiders - Atantis, Pinguin, Thor, Komet, Widder, Orion, Kormoran. All these ships together cost a fraction of the price of the Bismarck, and caused great headaches to the R.N.

An Altmark class supply ship too, perhaps?

It would require LOADS of spare parts for the options, plus guns concealed or guns exposed? Those commanders had guts.

HMS Ocean and HMAS Anzac class in 1/700. "O" Class destroyer in 1/350 as well as some Kriegsmarine destroyers and torpedo boats.

Trumpeter / Dragon are you listening ?

In no particular order (all 1/700):

HMS Colossus (CVL 1945)
Admiral Scheer (PB/CA 1941)
HMS Warspite (BB 1941)
HMS Norfolk (CA 1941)
Any German destroyer (1939-45)
SMS Seydlitz (BC 1916)
USS Midway (CV 1945)
HMAS Perth/Sydney/Hobart (CL 1939-45)
USS Long Beach (CA 1960)

I would really like the Ticonderoga 27-C axial deck and as a 27-C angle deck in CVA configuration. I am aware of the expensive kit available from Ships & Company, but am hoping for something less expensive. Perhaps Dragon will come to the rescue, someday

Cordially,

1/350 USS Enterprise, CV-6.
1/350 USS Portland, ever since I read "Sweet Pea At War."

WHY with all the other stuff flooding the world hasn't somebody minted a KIT of the big E

It looks like we have the Scharnhorst, and the Pocket Battleships now.... I want a Big E.... by somebody who charges sane prices...

Battleship row would also be nice... even the sunk ships went on to distinguish themselves nicely...well...except for the ones that couldn't be saved

I could be wrong.

Similar, but not the same, and the Hornet was Trumpy's first big carrier kit, and had some hull shape isuses, IIRC.....

An angle-decked Essex boat and a USCG 210' WMEC

1. Midway class carrier in 1:350, both before (a la Korea) and after modernization (say a Nam tour)

2. All the IJN Pearl Harbor carriers in 1:350

3. How 'bout some British WWII fleet carriers? (Another big ommission, I think)

my 2 cents anyway

With this class of Ship you could do the Tennessee, California, with slight mods (Turrets mainly) the Colorado Class as well is possible that gives you 4 of the BB's at Pearl and you could do both 1941 and Modified configurations sounds like best bang for buck on the molds??
Just my Take.

To go with the Revell 1/144 scale Fletcher class, and all those 1/144 scale aircraft kits....

Still only a 40 inch long model in that scale!

Would love these ships

1/350 1955-1978 HMS Ark Royal (No 4)Sea Vixens/Buccaneer/Phantoms/AEW Gannet
1/350 HMS Warspite,
1/350 CV 64 USS Constellation
Dream on Dream on

LCT Mk 5 or 6 in 1/35 scale.

LCM-6 in 1/16 scale, to go with the Tamiya Sherman

WW2 German Siebel Ferry in 1/35

...other than a handful when I was a kid but to tell the truth the subject has always been THE most interesting to me. Odd isn't it?

What I'd like to build is turn of the century/WWI warships, I just find the early era of dreadnaughts and the other various types of that time period to be very interesting. I'd love to do them in 1/350 but 1/700 is more reasonable spacewise for me. I know some are available but I don't feel like paying $100 for a resin ship that's 2.5 inches long.

Oh yeah, full hull, not a fan of waterline.

ANY of the angle deck Essex class would be OK by me. Modernized Midway and Coral Sea are close seconds

I really want to see the WORLD WAR 1 U-boats made as they had several types, larger scale WW1 merchant raiders
and the "way cool" Falken, 1930s/WWII german catapult seaplane carrier which would make a great kit.
Thanks all

Historically important ships that saw a lot of action in the Solomons.

Konigsberg, Karlsruhe or Koln
