Kits that we would like to see

Ok, how about a 1/350 USS West Virginia, a 1/350 angle deck modern USS Midway, and a 1/350 USS Salt Lake City in plastic.

I believe Trumpeter had toyed with the idea of a Baltimore class cruiser, specifically the USS Pittsburgh.

And last but not least a new mold 1/48 F11F Tiger. 

1/72 Gloster Javelin, AW Meteor nightfighter. Any and all variants of the Canberra and Hunters

1/48 B-26 Marauder, any and all Japanese bombers from WWII single and twin engine

An Avro Vulcan or a Handley Page Victor in 1/48 would be great but I’d settle for a good one in 1/72 as well. For autos: ‘68-‘74 Karmann Gia in 1/24. I don’t build autos too much. I always thought these were interesting cars.

 

We already have the Airfix Victor in 72nd, both bomber and tanker versions. There is a new Vulcan due out this year.

Modelers always have the best ideas to drive model companies out of business faster than you can say 'most wanted list'.  

I think some companies might watch this kind of traffic on the Internet, though, and perhaps take it into account.  For example, when Aoshima came out with its kit of the USS Wasp (CV-7) in 1/700, in 2 different boxings, I wondered whether someone in kit development there might have seen comments on forums, expressing the desire for exactly that kit.  Trumpeter came out with its 1/350 USS Ranger (CV-4) around the same time, and I also wondered about that one, too.

I would like to see Tamiya release several.  Here are a few, P-40, Hellcat, SBD, TBD, P-39, P-36, P-61, New wildcat would be nice as well, and on and on. I guess I just prefer to build Tamiya and wish they made them all.

1/48 B-26 Marauder

 

Some Airfix re-tools: Handley Page Halifax & Hampden bombers, Short Stirling, Ju 52, Vosper MTB, RAF rescue launch, German S-Boat, BAC/BAe Jaguar (Gulf War option?), SA 330 Puma, any WW1 aircraft - all in 1/72.  Suddenly I'm 12 years old again!

1/48 P-38 J/L from Tamiya. I'm pretty sure it's already in the works though with how some of the parts were made in the F/G kit. The odd versions would be nice too, droop snoot, night fighter, pathfinder, different photo recon versions. I'm well aware Academy does them but they'd be really good redone.

My usual answer is a 1/350 or 1/200 Hamilton class USCG WHEC and/or a Reliance class WMEC. A 1/200 scale USCG Eagle would be nice while I'm wishing. I have a better chance to catch a ride on Space X than ever see one of any of those though.
