I agree!  I think something either pre-WWI.  Like the Konig or USS Maine, USS Texas, or even the USS Olympic.  How about something from Sail and Steam era combined.  Last suggestion, how about Ironclads???

kustommodeler1- please send me any all info you have on the Sara, and a list of mods you did to the 1/542 kit. I've got that exact kit, and would like to do it configured to pre-desert storm,when my dad did a tour aboard her.

For kits I'd like to see in 1/350-

Any ship involved in the Battle of Jutland

USS Baltimore CA-68

Yes!!!!! Wonder who'll be doing the tooling (can you say 'Trumpeter'?) Series 12 kits sell for about £40 (say USD60). Not at all unreasonable.

If it comes about, I think this would be the first 1/350 injection-moulded kit of a serving RN vessel ever!

Cheers,

Chris.

If you like the French pre-dreadnoughts, i'm surprised you don't like the Russians!  'Tsesarivitch' is a classic example (and built in France to a French design)

Russian and Japanese pre-dreads are already available.  I put priority on ones not currently available.

I want some Amphibs.  LPD's, LHA's, LSD's, LST's 

just two ships come to my mind right away

* a really up to date four stack destroyer

* a better kit of a destroyer escort in the Atlantic configuration

maybe down the road I'd like to see some British stuff. Like maybe the Ajax. And the Langley.

gary

French Pre-dreadnoughts

German Pre-dreadnoughts

American Pre-dreadnoughts

British Pre-dreadnoughts

Any predreadnoughts that's neither Russian nor Japanese.

French Pre-dreads preferred because of their fantasy castle appearences.

Id like to see the Fuso and Yamashiro

Some WW1 battleships like Queen Elizabeth class. lets get a battle of Jutland line up. 

Warspite , Rodney, Nelson and some british cruisers 

repulse

ww2 ark royal (my grandad was on it)

scharnhorst

I would like to see a 1/350 scale BB-38 Pennsylvania in her late '44-on configuration. It would be perfect if Dragon could take what they've done in 1/700 scale and do it in 1/350. Here she is seen leading colorado:

Of course most any of the Pearl Harbor salvage/survivors would be great, like BB-46 Maryland, BB-36 Nevada, BB-45 California, BB-48 West Virginia, and especially after thier '43/'44 rebuilds like BB-43 Tennessee seen here in mid-'43:

My nomination for 1/350 carrier would have to go to one of my favorite old gals, the Forrestall-class CV-60 Saratoga in her final fit just before decommissioning as seen here in her '90-'91 fit. What Charms me the most about this old girl is all the modern equipment were add-ons in her long life and they look like it.

I'm doing the Revell 1/542 scale kit with scratch-built upgrades to this configuration, as you an see all that is in white is scratch built from sheet styrene, but I want a BIG one.

Well, that's it for me for now. Thanks for listening.
