Lol, it's okay Timmy since as Ikar stated everyone says the MPC Cygnus wasn't that good a kit. Still wish you'd picked her up, I think I'd just have hung on to the kit as a collector's item instead of trying to build her.

Occasionally motor pool woiuld give us a couple CJs when we were running out of M-151s for various reasons. They were hard to get into with a web belt with its .38, spare ammo, radio, bayonet or knife, and whatever else you might be carrying. It was hard to get out of, esoecially if you had a M-16. Part of the problem was how close the seat was ato the wheel. Many times the passsenger seat would come loose when making a faster than normal turn and if you didn't hold onto the jeep yhou could go out the door. The 151 was a much better ride with more room but in its own way a more dangerous vehicle.

ikar01 A CJ-5 with a metal top woiuld be nice too, they were usually driven by the squadron commanders and unfortunately we used them as a patrol vehicle sometimes.

Yeah, a 715 would be nice. Now that Revell has the Jeep p/u out.......
A Wagoner or Cherokee would be nice too.

Wouldn't be that long of one....less plastic than the big bombers in 1/32.
If you find a Cygnus thewe days jit will cost a lot more than it did back then, and yes, it wasn't that good a kit.
One kit that I would love to have would be a 1/350th kit of the Carrier Wolverine and a detail set to go with it. I have the 1/700th kit and it was well made and came with a small P.E. set. Not exactly cheep.
The next kit I would like is what we called a weapons truck, a M-715 in 1/35th scale:
We used them as a light and fast quick response vehicle when necessary, but mostly as a patrol vehicle with usually 3 men. Then my next item would be a detailed kit of our XM-706 Commando car that we used as a larger response team vehicle: There used to be conversion sets to make my Air Force version but I can't seem to find any. The short weapon in teh front by the M-60 is a M=174 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Nice effective weapon. This should be included in the kit as it was always carried.

GameraHowever; I'll add one model I would like to see. A good kit of the U.S.S. Cygnus, Space Probe One from the 1979 Disney movie 'The Black Hole'.
Gammera, would you be mad at me, if I told you that I found one of those kit's in a thrift store 3 year's ago..... for $15 ..... and I passed it up so I could get the old Revell U-99 kit ?
( I went back a month later and it was gone ... bummer. )
I can't think of three kit's I would like to see, But I WOULD like to see a 1/144 scale escort carrier. Prefferably, the U.S.S. Bouge

Well, Fujimi seems intent on kitting the Yamato in 1/200 - in bits and pieces!

I wonder if they will actually get around to makng the hull?
There was a 1/200 Yamato kit by Nichimo back in the 1970s, but the quality and accuracy reflect the era of its release.

I have to agree with Real G. Honest to gosh I really need to get off my duff and BUILD some the stuff in my stash before I become a full scale horder...
However; I'll add one model I would like to see. A good kit of the U.S.S. Cygnus, Space Probe One from the 1979 Disney movie 'The Black Hole'. So-so flick but OMG what a beautiful ship! There was a model made when the film aired but it's insanely hard to find these days and I hear it wasn't all that good. Just a good quality kit is all I want. Make it mostly PE with the ability to light her from inside.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

1) A 1/72nd Ju 87C with folding wings, of failing that a conversion. Been at the top of my wish list for years.
2) 1/32nd Fw 200. With all the 32nd 4 engined allied aircraft coming out, why not a Condor.
1/35th Sd.Kfz 251/23. been done as a Cyber Hobby white box, but needs to be done as a mainstream kit.

The Stinson SR9 was one my dad's favorite airplanes. I'd like to see this airplane rendered accurately in 1/48. And being from St. Louis, the same for the Spirit of St. Louis. maybe emboss the cowling instead of using a decal to show the detail on the metal.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Hi,
Although I would enjoy seeing some large scale models of things that interest me (like an F2A/B339 Buffalo, or some WWI/Interwar or early WWII armor) I realize that I probably don't really have the time, skill, or storage space to really do a large scale model justice.
As such, I guess a couple things that I would be interested in seeing (that I might actually be able to do something with) would be either a Fiat 126/126p, a Nissan Figaro, an FSO Syrena, or a Wartburg 311/312/313 model in almost any scale (though I would prefer 1/24-1/25).

I'd like a 1/48 Blohm & Voss Bv138.

I'd like that 1:200 Titanic, if I ever win a lottery.
I'd like a 1:32 Reliant too, but the 1:48 Roden one is pretty nice.
