How about a plastic Prometheus...

Fantastic Plastic has produced a resin model here , but its a bit on the pricy side.

Yeah, Fantastic Plastic's stuff is very pricey. I'm kind thinking AMT, although if I had $200 to light a cigar with, I'd get the Prometheus.

And did I mention an injection-molded Serenity?

Now that the USS Texas BB-35 is available in 350 scale, I next want to see a B-32 Dominator in 48 scale.

I want a nice F7U Cutlass and F-11 Tiger, both in 1/48.  That's not too much to ask is it?

Hi;

   I just got to thinking about my response earlier .To be honest - I would like to see good quality models at a price those of us on fixed incomes could afford when they hit the marketplace .

      The best example .The 1/200 Arizona . It is still to expensive for someone in my income bracket . Now if someone did it in 1/350 and kept all of it ( P.E. and ship under $ 125.00 ) Then it's reasonable .

 The reason I write this now is simple .There's a ship out now that I would very much like to have . I simply can't justify spending $ 249.85 for it . Supposedly like the Arizona -a " Limited Edition Kit " . Well , I am not going to be bitten by that horse again ! There it is in plain english . There are many of us , regardless of our age that have been nailed down by life to a certain income . We would like to be able to enjoy the hobby .

     I chose to spend mine on my failing wife . Nuff said !    T.B.

Hey !

    There is at least one Tanker- Builder that laughed till he hurt , whenever Carlin opened his chow hole !

I was going to get one ;

      Some years back there was a vendor at our train show that had four 1/350 resin " Ironclads " Two Confederate and Two Union . BUT he wanted $200.00 apiece .So cost is definitely a factor on these .

A trumpeter 1/48 B-17g.

Ships:  a greatlakes carrier and a city class ironclad

Vehicles:  M-715 weapons carrier

Didn't Halcyon do models of those?  Resin , I think.

Land speed record racers, unlimited-class speedboats, 1/24 Marmon Wasp and Auto Union GP cars...cool things that go fast.

 

Amen! Those are so rare except for the occasional cottage industry issue from someone like Etzell Speed Classics. Unfortunatelay, the Japanese manufacturers issue every modern also-ran F1 or endurance racer in a superb kit, but you can't get an Auto Union, or Miller, or Campbell Bluebird or Gurney F1 Eagle. Those may be specialized tastes with not many buyers, but really, are they any less so than an F1 race car that only managed to score two points in a season and then disappeared?

At the 2007 IPMS convention there was a vendor selling (1/32?) resin kits of old Allison engined Unlimited hydroplane racers, but I didn't buy one and have never been able to find any of the kits anywhere on-line since.

Alright, here's my hat-in-the-ring entries for stuff I'd love to see:

A Higgins PT boat in 1/72 scale to go with my PT-109 kit. Oh, and with optional parts for early and late war versions.

A badly needed re-tooling by Revell of its PT-109 kit. to correct all the mistakes in the now 50 year old tooling. And a new set of crew figures to go with it.

In 1/25 scale, a "Squad 51"  Dodge paramedic truck from the TV series, "Emergency!" Or how about an "Adam-12" police car?

A re-release of the Essex-class carriers Wasp, Lexington, and Hornet from their angled-deck days? I miss my Revell "Lady Lex" from high school days.

In 1/35 scale; An M-1 and M-2 90mm anti-aircraft guns (after all HobbyBoss already makes a version of the M-4 HST to tow it!) , the M-51 75mm Skysweeper anti-aircraft gun, and the M-167 towed Vulcan 20mm anti-aircaft gun (in plastic of course).

In 1/72 scale a Packard WWII staff car, M-2 Cle-track tracktor,  a KC-10 "Extender" tanker aircraft. (Again in plastic please).

Oh, I almost forgot a 1/35 AH-1G "Cobra" the one used in Vietnam to go with our 1/35 scale UH-1's and AH-6's .

A new B-26 mold

I'm hoping ICM comes out with more WW1 infantry sets. They have a French WW1 infantry weapons set but no French Infantry set? What's up wif dat man?? WW1 kits are few and far between compared to WW2. It's a shame. How about 1/35 Serbian, Ottoman, Italian, Bulgarian and Belgian Infantry. Late war Austro Hungarians too. It's was very interesting time

Here is my wishlist:

1/350 Ships

Afforable WWII IJN carriers, the USS Wasp CV7, USS Langley CV1 and the USS Ranger CV4. IJN battleships, Fuso, Yamashiro, Nagato, Hiei. USN battleships USS Maryland, USS California, USS Tennessee and USS New Mexico all 1941. Late war CAs and CLs.

WWII British carriers, heavy and light cruisers.

More early Dreadnoughts like the HMS Tiger (1913).

I would also like to see more Pre-Dreadnoughts, especially some of the weirder French types.

Affordable to me means in the lower to mid $100 range NOT $200 to $300 plus

1/48 Airplanes

PB4Y-2 Privateer

PB2Y Coronado

PBM Mariner

I couldn't agree more!!!

A 1/24 scale C5A .

Would love to see a Twin Mustang and a F-16XL in 1/48th.

Would love to see a Twin Mustang...... in 1/48th.

You mean a better one than the Modelcraft one? 

the doog

a 1982-84 Chevette, and a 1972-74 Ford LTD-II Country Squire Station Wagon!!!

Was the "Wagon Queen Family Truckster" (from National Lampoon's Vacation) ever released as a kit? I know Halmark had an ornament for one. Slightly off topic: I think it would make a great Hot Wheel car (that is, if I saw it in it's blister pack at Walmart, I'd toss it in the shopping cart, despite the fact I'm not a Hot Wheel collector).

1/350 Midway.

Pacific Rim Jaegers Gypsy Danger, Striker Eureka or Cherno Alpha.

 

Steve, I've been waiting for these to come out!

Thanks for that link.  I was looking and looking and didn’t see anything. I'm excited now. 10 to 12 inches wow.

OHHHHHHHH thanks for the head's up Bruce!!! I bought a couple of Gundam kits to build up as some of the Jaegers mentioned as being destroyed before the movie. I'd love to have some kits of the 'real' ones!!!
