My stock answers for this, when it's presented periodically as a poll:

  • An injection-molded Langley (CV-1), Ranger (CV-4) and Wasp (CV-7) in 1/700
  • A 1/48th C-46 (preferably by Revell-Monogram)
  • An injection-molded kit of Serenity

How about a 3d printed Serenity?  I think I could help.  if your interested

I don't know if this would count for this thread. But I would like to see someone produce more decals for aircraft, like various squadrons and air wings.

Yikes!!! I just got the 1/350 TOS Enterprise, which the box says builds out to 32" long. The Vengeance would be almost 5 times as long in 1/350, so over 13 feet long! Even chopping it down to 1/1000 would make it a good 4 feet long or so. As it is, I've seen some folks say that the Enterprise models need an armature to keep their shape here in Earth gravity.

I'm not sure how big the Vengeance was

It's pretty massive. It would do better 1/1000. I would just like to see one produced.

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

I'm not sure how big the Vengeance was. If it was anywhere near the size of the Excelsior or 1701-D, I doubt we would see it in 1/350. Too bad, because I still think the Excelsior was the best-looking ship of all! I also forgot to add the 1/350 Defiant into the wish list.

From the Star Trek universe, we now have great 1/350 Enterprises, both TOS and movies. How about 1/350 Reliants, Klingon battlecruisers and Romulan Warbirds to complement them?

Yeah, that reminds me, how about the USS Vengeance. That Bad A-- Dreadnought  in "Into the Darkness"

As for ships, definitely more commercial vessels. Maybe a 1/350 T-2 tanker to go along with the 1/350 Liberty ships that are available? Maybe 1/350 C-2 cargo ships and Victory ships.

For variety's sake, in the real space realm, I'd love to see a 1/72 Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy!

No, I don't remember that. I have the markings, I just need to check if there are any changes I need to make to the kit.

Yes I talking about the offshore platforms. I read an article about Tower 4 in an issue of Proceedings when I was still in the fleet and have been interested by them since. My grandfather had mentioned them from his service in the AF. I grew up playing in and around a few of the old decommissioned SAGE sites.

In 1/72 would love to see new tool B-17 and B-24 series of kits.

We have had these from Revell and hasegawa respectively in the last few years, isn't it a bit soon for some more new new tool kits.

Academy did some decent 17s.

Some really nice ones actually. I've built the F and have a G and C/D in the stash.

I would like to see a variety of both military and civilian ships including supply and etc ships in both 1/350 and 1/700 scale. One subject that I think that would make and interesting kit is the Texas Towers from the 50's.

Are you talking about the offshore platforms? I learn something every day on this site- had to look up Texas Towers. Looks like a fun scratchbuild on a water base.

1/144 C5 Galaxy.  Revell must be sitting on the molds and it really bugs me that they wont do a re-pop, considering the obscene prices they go for on e-bay.

I would love to see more injection mold WWII twins produced mainstream in 1/48. The Japanese had a whole fleet of twin bombers, and the only one ever produced mainstream really is Tamiya's G4M. A Handley-Page Hampden would be nice too.

Merchant marine ships. Not those new ugly container ships but the old classics from '60, ,70 and 80 with derricks and all kind of deck equipment. Lots of variety in this subject: bulk carriers, heavy lifters, tons of different tugboats, general cargo ships etc
