Tweek on "Must Have Ships" ie. Pre WW2
Sorry to bore you again but.....
What about a list based on subject above?
Note: My personal preference as I am not into Warcraft much. Except for somethink like the USS Oregon.
Following is a quote from rcboater
To keep this in some sort of order can we use this list of qualities minus warships. Support vessels are welcome: Transporters, Coast guard, etc.
1 ore caveat: International recognition would be nice.
Here's My interpretation of the question, and my first shot at a reply:
"Must have' kits for a collection are those that have these qualities:
1. Actually be available as a model kit, preferably in plastic, preferably in one of the standard scales.
2. Be subjects of historical (world or national) significance- I'm in the USA, so US topics are more likely to be featured in my personal version of my list....
3. Ideally fit into the collection ina way that ilustrates the evolution of technology over the centuries. That means that I may drop yet another WW2 ship from the list in favor of a ship from another era.
4. Ties are decided in favor of ships my wife has heard of...!
Here's my list, in order of how likely my wife is to recognize it:
1. RMS Titanic
2. Santa Maria
3. PT-109
4. . Mayflower
5. USS Constitution
6. USS New Jersey
7. USS Nimitz
8. Clipper ship (any, US or British)
9. USS Monitor/CSS Virginia
10. Roman bireme or trireme
11. Delta Queen or other Mississippi River boat
I would like to add a Liberty ship to the list.
