Lol, it's okay Timmy since as Ikar stated everyone says the MPC Cygnus wasn't that good a kit. Still wish you'd picked her up, I think I'd just have hung on to the kit as a collector's item instead of trying to build her. 

Occasionally motor pool woiuld give us a couple CJs when we were running out of M-151s for various reasons.  They were hard to get into with a web belt with its .38, spare ammo, radio, bayonet or knife, and whatever else you might be carrying.  It was hard to get out of, esoecially if you had a M-16.  Part of the problem was how close the seat was ato the wheel.  Many times the passsenger seat would come loose when making a faster than normal turn and if you didn't hold onto the jeep yhou could go out the door.  The 151 was a much better ride with more room but in its own way a more dangerous vehicle.

A CJ-5 with a metal top woiuld be nice too, they were usually driven by the squadron commanders and unfortunately we used them as a patrol vehicle sometimes.

 

There was one at Udorn...belonged to 555 TFS CO.  On the drivers door was "Triple Nickle...largest distributor of MIG parts in SEA".

1991 Mercury Grand Marquis 1/24 or 1/25 and a 1/48 Kitty Hawk UH-1N Huey

Yeah, a 715 would be nice.  Now that Revell has the Jeep p/u out.......

A Wagoner or Cherokee would be nice too.

Got to love a big Phantom.

 

 

 

 

and the oil embargo after its produced

 

 

Wouldn't be that long of one....less plastic than the big bombers in 1/32.

If you find a Cygnus thewe days jit will cost a lot more than it did back then, and yes, it wasn't that good a kit.

One kit that I would love to have would be a 1/350th kit of the Carrier Wolverine and a detail set to go with it.  I have the 1/700th kit and it was well made and came with a small P.E. set.  Not exactly cheep.

The next kit I would like is what we called a weapons truck, a M-715 in 1/35th scale:

We used them as a light and fast quick response vehicle when necessary, but mostly as a patrol vehicle with usually 3 men.  

There used to be conversion sets to make my Air Force version but I can't seem to find any.  The short weapon in teh front by the M-60 is a M=174 40mm automatic grenade launcher.  Nice effective weapon.  This should be included in the kit as it was always carried.

However; I'll add one model I would like to see. A good kit of the U.S.S. Cygnus, Space Probe One from the 1979 Disney movie 'The Black Hole'.

Gammera, would you be mad at me, if I told you that I found one of those kit's in a thrift store 3 year's ago..... for $15 ..... and I passed it up so I could get the old Revell U-99 kit ?

( I went back a month later and it was gone ... bummer. )

I can't think of three kit's I would like to see, But I WOULD like to see a 1/144 scale escort carrier. Prefferably, the U.S.S. Bouge

1/48 RH-53D Seastallion w/mine sweeping gear.

Any early to mid 20th century ocean liner in 1/350 scale other than Titanic. I have Titanic and an old Lusitania kit is on the way but I haven't seen any other than those two.

Ok, I'll bite.

1. 1/200 INJ Yamato 2. 1/200 Latest Nimizt or Ford class Carrier 3. 1/24 Any highly/ accurately detailed 60's muscle car

Well, Fujimi seems intent on kitting the Yamato in 1/200 - in bits and pieces!

https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=102&cat=&state=&sold=0&sortid=0&searchkey=yamato+1%2f200&spage=1&Make=Fujimi

I wonder if they will actually get around to makng the hull?

There was a 1/200 Yamato kit by Nichimo back in the 1970s, but the quality and accuracy reflect the era of its release.

Okay,I'll Bite;

   Number one--A fully detailed unbuilt model by Pocher, I/8 scale 1929 Rolls Silver Ghost

   Number Two--a trip back in time to pick up a 1/16 scale model of the Austin Healey 3000

   Number Three - A well molded 1/25 model (Unassembled) of a Johan 1963 Chrysler Newport 2dr ht!

 For 1/72- Well there's that. All Ships. U.S.S.Midway 1963 fit.

                                                       The Normandie

                                                       The Andrea Doria

I have to agree with Real G. Honest to gosh I really need to get off my duff and BUILD some the stuff in my stash before I become a full scale horder... 

However; I'll add one model I would like to see. A good kit of the U.S.S. Cygnus, Space Probe One from the 1979 Disney movie 'The Black Hole'. So-so flick but OMG what a beautiful ship! There was a model made when the film aired but it's insanely hard to find these days and I hear it wasn't all that good. Just a good quality kit is all I want. Make it mostly PE with the ability to light her from inside.

1/200 Latest Nimizt or Ford class Carrier 3

Holy cats! A 1/200 Nimitz would be 5.16 ft or 1.57 meters

1) A 1/72nd Ju 87C with folding wings, of failing that a conversion. Been at the top of my wish list for years.

2) 1/32nd Fw 200. With all the 32nd 4 engined allied aircraft coming out, why not a Condor.

1/35th Sd.Kfz 251/23. been done as a Cyber Hobby white box, but needs to be done as a mainstream kit.

I build in 48th and 72nd. So I'll give 3 of each

48

B-66 Destroyer

A-2 Savage

A-1E from Tamiya

72

PB2Y Coronado 

A-2 Savage

C-2 Greyhound 

patrick206

1) A really good and accurate 250-GTO, 1:18.

2) Accurate 1:32 Stinson Reliant.

3)      "         1:32 Ryan Spirit of St. Louis.

 

The Stinson SR9 was one my dad's favorite airplanes. I'd like to see this airplane rendered accurately in 1/48. And being from St. Louis, the same for the Spirit of St. Louis. maybe emboss the cowling instead of using a decal to show the detail on the metal.

Hi,

Although I would enjoy seeing some large  scale models of things that interest me (like an F2A/B339 Buffalo, or some WWI/Interwar or early WWII armor) I realize that I probably don't really have the time, skill, or storage space to really do a large scale model justice.

As such, I guess a couple things that I would be interested in seeing (that I might actually be able to do something with) would be either a Fiat 126/126p, a Nissan Figaro, an FSO Syrena, or a Wartburg 311/312/313 model in almost any scale (though I would prefer 1/24-1/25).

Pat

I'd like a 1/48 Blohm & Voss Bv138.

Any high enduance or medium endurance modern (designed in the 60's and later) Coast Guard cutter in 1/200 scale

I'd like that 1:200 Titanic, if I ever win a lottery.

I'd like a 1:32 Reliant too, but the 1:48 Roden one is pretty nice.
