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!!!

On another note, I was watching Agents of Shield the other night, and one of those quinjets in 1/48 scale would be cool!

Wow....what a can of worms.

First, I like 1/72 scale

X-Planes......lets get with it manufacturers......we have more than enough 109's and Spitfirers......(I like both, but how many can you build)

Racers....begin in the twenties and don't stop.....we only have a couple of "war-birds" to convert.......The Howard Pete looks like fun.......and Mr. Mulligan.......

Presidential aircraft.......start with Roosevelt's C-54 and go......don't forget about Marine 1....right now you have to convert the transports (Eisenhower's is the easiest I think, at least the painting over Truman.....) and the Heller jet is out of production and expensive on the older kit market, how about a new one.......with more accuracy.....again....I'm fixated on 1/72........

Hey.....just my 2 cents

I have a standard list for this poll, whenever it surfaces in any form:

  • The Ranger (CV-4) and the Wasp (CV-7), in injection-molded styrene, in 1/700 scale
  • A C-46, a B-32 Dominator, an SOC, a Fieseler Fi-167 in injection-molded styrene, in 1/48 scale, preferably from Revell-Monogram (I think they'd do the best job of balancing quality, detail and reasonable price)
  • An injection-molded kit of Serenity

And yes, I know Mike West makes an excellent SOC in 1/48, and there's also the older vacuform kit from Wings, I believe it was.  And Corsair Armada makes the CV's, in resin, and they re-issue the kits from time to time.  But I'd like plain ol' styrene kits.

Best regards,

Brad

                                                                                                                                                What I  would like to see would be some of the WC series trucks in 1/24 scale.

 The Holden jeep ambulance used by the Marines and a slate- grill MB jeep both in 1/35 and 1/24 scale.

 Here's hoping some one besides FSM members read these wish's

I know they'd be large; however, I think it would be nice to find some 1/72 civil airliners like the 707, 737, 727, A320, etc.

 

 

I totally agree with this; although I do have an old Aurora 1/72 scale 737 in my stash now. I would liek to add the following in 1/72 scale:

 

Douglas DC-10

 

Boeing 747 - 100 & 200 series, with markings for civil airline and Air Force One.

C-5A Galaxy

C-141 Starlifter

 

In armor, I have a ton of models to suggest in 1/72 scale; most of which you 1/35th scale guys already have. Probably too many to list here.

However, in railroad, I'd love to see in 1/72 scale: more US train engines, US, British and French rail guns, rolling stock in the form of boxcars and flatbed cars for holding tanks.

In Ships, I'd love to see some 1/700 scale Truxtons, Coontz Class, Galveston Class; as well as Kashin class, Kresta class, Kynda class Russian ships from the seventies.

I'd also love to see a model of the Firefly class ship Serenity.

One of my wishes has now been fulfilled.  Aoshima has issued a 1/700 kit of the Wasp.  I have an in-box review in the Ships forum: 

http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/7/t/169701.aspx

They did two versions, too, in separate boxings.  One depicts her in early 1942, ferrying Spitfires to Malta, and the other at the time of her sinking, and includes a model of her nemesis, the I-19.

I think I would like to see a Dragon treatment of the German SdKfz 124 Wespe based on the PzII chasis. I think they already have most of the components. I have built, not long ago, the aging Tamiya kit and although it is still very much a good kit, I think Dragon could kick it up a notch or two. As much as they have went through great pains to pick out mark IV's and such based on a particular months production during the war, I'm kinda surprised they haven't done this yet.

I would like to see a 1/72-1/76 scale Bucyrus Crawler Crane and 1/72 scale firgure sets made out on solid plastic instead of the soft rubbery toy soldier like figures.

I would also like to see Gallery Models make the 1/350 USS Intrepid's 2 sisters the USS Ticonderoga (CVA14) and USS Hancock(CVA19). I would also like them to release the aircraft (A4,F8,A1,C1COD,Willy Fud's,SH2 Helo's) for these carriers and also to release a kit of the deck equipment(including the unique iconic Tilly).

More 1/144 scale aircraft and ground equipment and diorama accessories.

I herad about that 48th U-Boat a while back. Thats just way to big for me, 72nd will do fine. But i am loking forward to the Graf Zeppelin. I might not be able to get a 72nd Ju 87C, but if i can get a full squadron in 350, thats a nice second best.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Unfortunately, the second job will take away the time for building the models you buy with that extra money! I see at least half a dozen ones on that list that are on my radar, starting with the long-awaited 1/200 Hood.
