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,

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

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

I keep checking the Max Factory website every couple weeks, but no new news on the Pacific Rim models yet.

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!!! 

Edit: Whoops, not sure what happened there- sorry.

Thanks for that link.  I was looking and looking and didn’t see anything. I'm excited now. 10 to 12 inches wow.

a 1982-84 Chevette, and a 1972-74 Ford LTD-II Country Squire Station Wagon!!!

Was the "Wagon Queen Family Truckster" (from National Lampoon's Vacation) ever released as a kit? I know Halmark had an ornament for one. Slightly off topic: I think it would make a great Hot Wheel car (that is, if I saw it in it's blister pack at Walmart, I'd toss it in the shopping cart, despite the fact I'm not a Hot Wheel collector).

Would love to see a Twin Mustang...... in 1/48th.

You mean a better one than the Modelcraft one? 

Would love to see a Twin Mustang and a F-16XL in 1/48th.

Here is my wishlist: 1/350 Ships Afforable WWII IJN carriers, the USS Wasp CV7, USS Langley CV1 and the USS Ranger CV4. IJN battleships, Yamashiro, Nagato Hiei. USN battleships USS Maryland, USS California, USS Tennessee and New Mexico all 1941. Late war CAs and CLs. Afforable means in the lower to mid $100 range. 1/48 Airplanes PB4Y-2 Privateer PB2Y Coronado PBM Mariner Steve  

I couldn't agree more!!!

Here is my wishlist:

1/350 Ships

Afforable WWII IJN carriers, the USS Wasp CV7, USS Langley CV1 and the USS Ranger CV4. IJN battleships, Fuso, Yamashiro, Nagato, Hiei. USN battleships USS Maryland, USS California, USS Tennessee and USS New Mexico all 1941. Late war CAs and CLs.

WWII British carriers, heavy and light cruisers.

More early Dreadnoughts like the HMS Tiger (1913).

I would also like to see more Pre-Dreadnoughts, especially some of the weirder French types.

Affordable to me means in the lower to mid $100 range NOT $200 to $300 plus

1/48 Airplanes

PB4Y-2 Privateer

PB2Y Coronado

PBM Mariner

I'm hoping ICM comes out with more WW1 infantry sets. They have a French WW1 infantry weapons set but no French Infantry set? What's up wif dat man?? WW1 kits are few and far between compared to WW2. It's a shame. How about 1/35 Serbian, Ottoman, Italian, Bulgarian and Belgian Infantry. Late war Austro Hungarians too. It's was very interesting time

A new B-26 mold

In 1/35 scale; An M-1 and M-2 90mm anti-aircraft guns (after all HobbyBoss already makes a version of the M-4 HST to tow it!) , the M-51 75mm Skysweeper anti-aircraft gun, and the M-167 towed Vulcan 20mm anti-aircaft gun (in plastic of course).

In 1/72 scale a Packard WWII staff car, M-2 Cle-track tracktor,  a KC-10 "Extender" tanker aircraft. (Again in plastic please).

Oh, I almost forgot a 1/35 AH-1G "Cobra" the one used in Vietnam to go with our 1/35 scale UH-1's and AH-6's .

Alright, here's my hat-in-the-ring entries for stuff I'd love to see:

A Higgins PT boat in 1/72 scale to go with my PT-109 kit. Oh, and with optional parts for early and late war versions.

A badly needed re-tooling by Revell of its PT-109 kit. to correct all the mistakes in the now 50 year old tooling. And a new set of crew figures to go with it.

In 1/25 scale, a "Squad 51"  Dodge paramedic truck from the TV series, "Emergency!" Or how about an "Adam-12" police car?

A re-release of the Essex-class carriers Wasp, Lexington, and Hornet from their angled-deck days? I miss my Revell "Lady Lex" from high school days.

Texgunner

Land speed record racers, unlimited-class speedboats, 1/24 Marmon Wasp and Auto Union GP cars...cool things that go fast.

 

Amen! Those are so rare except for the occasional cottage industry issue from someone like Etzell Speed Classics. Unfortunatelay, the Japanese manufacturers issue every modern also-ran F1 or endurance racer in a superb kit, but you can't get an Auto Union, or Miller, or Campbell Bluebird or Gurney F1 Eagle. Those may be specialized tastes with not many buyers, but really, are they any less so than an F1 race car that only managed to score two points in a season and then disappeared?

At the 2007 IPMS convention there was a vendor selling (1/32?) resin kits of old Allison engined Unlimited hydroplane racers, but I didn't buy one and have never been able to find any of the kits anywhere on-line since.

I'd also like to see someone produce the tow vehicle Nostromo or Narcissus from Alien.

 

Didn't Halcyon do models of those?  Resin , I think.

Ships:  a greatlakes carrier and a city class ironclad

Vehicles:  M-715 weapons carrier

               CJ-5 hardtop

A trumpeter 1/48 B-17g.

I was going to get one ;

      Some years back there was a vendor at our train show that had four 1/350 resin " Ironclads " Two Confederate and Two Union . BUT he wanted $200.00 apiece .So cost is definitely a factor on these .

Hey !

    There is at least one Tanker- Builder that laughed till he hurt , whenever Carlin opened his chow hole !
