                        What is the most desired model
                        Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 4, 2003 12:56 AM


                        I wonder what sub kit/model would be the most sought after? would it be an I-boat, midget sub (German or Japanese) or...?

                        curious what you all think.

                        World War II submarines USS Narwhal and Nautilus. Probably the largest American submarines to ever see action in the Pacific. Good detailing possibilities too.

                        I agree with ltfahey I wiuld ike to see them with build options for commisioning to decommissioning. I will add any pre-WWII warship from any country back to about 1900.

                        My dream model...a 1/350 HMS Hood in plastic.

                        Then of course, Scahrnhorst, Warspite, Takao, Taiho, Prinz Eugen, Baltimore, Atlanta, Rodney, Lexington...should I go on?? :-)

                        ICM will realease HMS HOOD some day 1:350, Its a very awaited plastic kit.
                        The question is when.
                        will it happen this year? next year?

                        ICM 1:350 IJN heavy cruiser Takao and Chokai are coming too. But when..

                        I have completely given up on ICM, and I don't expect a Hood or Takao or Chokai from them.

                        I just got the new Minekaze 1/350 Tone, it's expensive though, but what a great looking kit. The review is on the site www.modelwarships.com

                        There's been all sorts of rumors from Trumeter about potential new ship releases, so we'll see what they're up to as well.

                        As for ICM, don't wait, sell sell sell your stock like Martha Stewart!

                        About Trumpeter i hope to see the continuation of 1:350 plastic ships, now they will realease CV Lexington, Saratoga, CVN Nimitz and i think one Russian modern carrier too, then i hope to see not only carriers.
                        About ICM, if it comes true about 1:350 Hood and Takao better for us, if not...
                        We will survive anyway.

                        Captain Nemo's Nautilus, at a decent price! Other than that, the HMS Bounty (a new kit please!), and the Graf Spee, at a larger scale. And some American Civil War ships too.

                        My most wanted Shipmodel is the German (Bundesmarine) Destroyer "Hessen" on which i served for 3 Years.
                        1:350 would be cool but 1:700 is also ok.

                        I agree with djmodels1999, it would be nice to see some larger Civi War models. Others that I would like are BB Maryland and CA Indianpolis in 1/350 scale.

                        I think WW2 warships looks very majestic and awesome, especially Japanese ones.

                        I'm beginning my collection of them, starting with Yamato, Bismarck and Prince of Wales of the 1/350 Tamiya series. I just couldn't keep my eyes off the still shrink-wrapped boxes! Haven't started building!
                        Also just got 1/450 Akagi from Hasegawa.
                        Man! I'm gonna be broke buying all these majestic queens of tWW2!

                        Any recommendation for a solid reference of these warships?
                        I was hunting around the net but not much luck.

                        1/350th HMS hood for sure. And the WWII british carriers too. Eventually someone will get around to them. Of course we may have to wait until they run out of US, German, Japanese, and other countries subjects first. LOL!

                        And as I am Canadian, a HMCS Halifax in 1/72nd would be grand. A little on the large size, but still grand! LOL!

                        How about a nice YTB, YTM, or just about any US Navy Fleet Tug or Harbor Tug would be great. We have YTB 178 (USS Dekaury) here at Alameda. She is sister to USS Hoga, which played a vital firefighting role at Pearl Harbor. Old tugs are really funky and cool, especially Navy ones.

                        A couple of you guys mentioned Civil War ships. Once you have the C.S.S. Alabama (the Shark of the Confederacy), what else do you need and the Revell kit is not bad. As for my desire, The H.M.S. Hood in 1:350 tops my list. After that, a Nimitz class carrier in 1:350. We also need more ships of the 1950's and 60's. Post FRAM WWII vessels. This could probably be accomplished with conversion kits.

                        Are there any other Canadian ships out there besides the Snowberry. If so I'd like to build them. I'm not a "built it from an old log" type.

                        A Bathurst class MSC in 1/72.
                        There were quite a few of them and they served in the RN, RAN, Netherlands Navy, Indonesian Navy, Red Chinese PLAN, as well as being converted to Civilian use.
                        The conversion posabilities are almost endless!

                        If I was to pick one, it would be an LCM(3), in 1/35 scale. (In plastic, not resin-- somehting that could be converted to RC.)
