Gentlemen,
You certainly cannot blame me for listing my dream of having more sailing ships, especially from the Napoleonic Wars. One only has to consider the historic impact made by Britain's Royal Navy on not only Western civilization but on global civilization as well to justify my list. One needs to worry if I were to delude myself into believing that my dream were to come true!
Now, to add to my list . . . USS Truxton, USS Knox, USS Leahy, USS Midway, USS Forrestal, etc. The early Cold War era is sadly unrepresented in plastic ship modeling in either 1/1350 or 1/700.

Maybe that same company MikroMir can do some of those Cold War-era Russian ships in 1/700 and 1/350 scale, like the Kashins, Karas, Kyndas and even a Grisha as well. One can only hope.
I agree. In fact, I believe that I will write to them with that suggestion. I have most of their Soviet and American submarines. Positive action can cause hope to be realized.

I would love a 1/350 Colorado class BB. I just got a book on US treaty heavy cruisers and would be interested one perhaps, but probably 1/700 due to shelf space.

Wanted: A reasonable larger scale model of the Henri Grace Adieu, Henry VIII flagship.
Also same reasonable size model to the Santa Catarina de Monte Sinai, another early 16th century ship.
Reissue of the Imai Catalan ship, a model of a 15th century church votive ship model
ALL OF YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
as for the new LCS's look for models of the USS Freedom LCS-1, two companies make them, I have both of them and am doing one as the USS Milwaukee, whose commissioning I attended with my wife, I also attendede the commissioning of the USS Freedom as both were held in Milwaukee Wi
Id like to see, in 1/700 injection molded form:
1. USCG National Security Cutter
2. USCG Hamilton Class Cutter
3. MEKO Frigate series
No bucks, no Buck Rogers
A Midway class either axial or angled deck, in 1/350.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
More submarines with planes on the sail.
I'd like to see some neglected subjects get a chance at the big time. How about a 1/350 T-2 tanker to go with those 1/350 Liberty ships that are out there. For that matter, how about a 1/350 Victory ship? How about a 1/350 Queen Mary, as the box-scale Revell version is long in the tooth and deserves a serious upgrade. Since Merit and Trumpeter have been issuing 1/200 scale ships, how about a 1/200 Titanic? I think it would be a big hit! And just because any larger scale would likely be way too big, how about a 1/700 modern supertanker? A 1/350 scale USS Maine would also be greatly appreciated.
On the bench: 1/350 Trumpeter HMS Dreadnought; 1/350 Academy USS Reuben James FFG-57
Styrene Great Lakes ships.
1/700 or 1/350 USCGC Mackinaw (WLBB-30)
This is the largest USCG icebreaker in the great lakes. Its namestake (WAGB-83) is another possible kit. The Edmond Fitzgerald ore freighter has historical significance.
Chasing the ultimate build.
Agree! Saw it in Mackinaw last summer. Huge ferry ruuning from Ludington to Manitiwoc would also be cool.
There are resin Edmonds available. I'm actually building 1/700 Fitz now.
There are several I would like to put together and add to my displays. Couple are more boat than ship but it is a water dweller.
1/35 25' Boston Whaler (USN)
1/35 10-meter RHIB (USN)
1/200 Arkansas class monitor (USN)
WIP:Trying to get my hobby stuff sorted - just moved and still unpacking.
"Gator, Green Catskill....Charlie On Time"
A Krivak class destroyer since they shadowed the USS EISENHOWER when i was onboard in 1980.

Are you wanting it in 1/350 scale? Because Pit Road did both the Krivak I and Krivak II in 1/700 scale. I have one of each built on my shelf. They may be still around on E-bay or other sites.
I would like to see one of the USS Vestal in 1/350th and 1/200th scale. Can be used in a Decmber 7th dio along side the USS Arizona.
On the bench: So many hanger queens.
I just learned about Aoshima's 1/700 CV-7 kit the other week, and picked it up, so now, one of my Grail ship kits is accounted for.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Good Heavens !
You remember the Inchiff Castle ? I thought no one knew about her . Tanker - Builder
A 1/72 Fletcher class would be cool.Even a DE in that scale would suffice!
Hmmm... and a 1/72 "La Combattante/TNC-45" patrol boat too! Could be the basis for lots of smaller navies' ships, including the Reshefs!
Another model I'd like to see in 1/700 scale: Italian carrier Guiseppe Garibaldi. I'd also like to see their newest carrier also, the larger version of that ship; I forget the name. After all, the Guiseppe Garibaldi served in all the major conflicts recently: both Gulf Wars, Somalia, and Afghanistan. After all that service and activity; why do the model manufacturers ignore this ship?
A 1/350 or 1/200 Washington BB56 in Nov. '42 fit.
