Yeah, we've done wishlists here in the past. I still stand by my desire for 1/48 scale injection molded trainers. I have an Occidental T-6G in the stash that looks nice. I'd really like to see:
PT-19, PT-22, BT-13/14, early AT-6/Harvard/SNJ, AT-11, T-28A, T-28C, and lastly, T-6 Texan II. These kits wouldn't need a lot of pointless doodads to make them attractive to modelers, just a nicely detailed OOB cockpit and some engine detail, but something that looks nice when completed and sitting on the shelf.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
Mine has not changed in years. 1/72nd Ju 87C. Kit or conversion i don't mind.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Any rigid airship, Macon/ Akron for example.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Rob;
That was a Piper Tri-Pacer! As for me I would like to see the following
1-1961 Chrysler Imperial 2dr ht.
2-A decent re-do of the Revell support ship fleet. Even in their off scales.
Lastly Imai or another fairly obscure company did in the 70s some nice inland light duty C.G.Cutters. I would like to see those make a comeback
Plus, Sorry one more. Aurora did a very nice model of "Wheeler Cruiser". One of the best around at the time and one of the few older style motoryachts done in plastic, That wasn't overdone with mold lines and window frames like Revell's old Chris Craft Tri-Cabin Motoryacht.
OOps! One more. The Miss Budweiser Hydro Boat without Beer Sponsor markings. There were other sponsors besides them! and Ditto on what " G " says.
You know, you're right. It has been a while since FSM published a wishlist article.
Although over time some of my wishlist items have come to fruition there are some I would still love to see popped or new moldings of.
1/72 and/or 1/48 PB4Y Privateer
1/72 and/or 1/48 F7F Tigercat
1/72 PV-1 Ventura
1/72 P2V Neptune
1/72 F11F Tiger
1/700 USS Salt Lake City
1/700 USS Utah
1/25 '67 Mercury Cougar

Monogram did a series of single engine civilian planes. I remember the Piper Tri-something that came with a hunter posing with a dead mountain lion and I think a photographer.
I liked these civilian planes and think the line could be expanded. They were a decent scale, probably close to 1/24 or 1/25.
Could use the following new tools in 1/72: OS2U Kingfisher, J2F Duck, F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, and an O-47.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
On the Bench:
Revell 1/96 USS Constitution - rigging
Revell 1/48 B-1B Lancer Prep and research
Trumpeter 1/350 USS Hornet CV-8 Prep and research
MKelley Maybe I missed it. Has FSM ran a kits we would like to see produced article in the magazine lately? Me personally I would like to see a 1/48th B-47 and B-66 in injection molded.

Good question, about when that subject was last published in the magazine. On forums, speaking very generally, wish list threads tend to appear cyclically, like at the end of the year, or timed around one or more of the big toy/hobby shows, eg, Nurnberg or Shizuoka.
My stand-by answers, as far as airplane kits go, are a C-46, a B-32, and a B-18, all injection-molded in 1/48 scale. Also a Fieseler Fi-167, the German torpedo bomber intended for use with their planned aircraft carriers.
Before the Hobbico disaster, I had a hope that Revell-Monogram might have tackled the C-46. Their recent new kit development-the PV-2, the Stearman-suggested that they might try something like that.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
I can't remember seeing one of those articles lately. As for me, it's been awhile since we got a good Me109
