I'd like to second the suggestion of SMS Derfflinger, the most supremely elegant capital ship ever built. She was powerful and well-defended, too - a far cry from those pretty but absolutely useless British battlecruisers, with their terrible susceptibility to plunging fire.

Apologies if this is a repeat, but I'd like to see a model of the first US aircraft carrier named Wasp, CV-7.

I'd like even more to see it in 1/700, though I think Corsair Armada may still offer their resin kit in their catalog.

I'd also like to see a kit of the first Ranger aircraft carrier (CV-4).  And that's one I'd like to see in 1/700, too.  Again, I know Corsair Armada made a resin kit in 1/700, but I think it's out of production.

Regards,

Brad

I'd like to see a modern kit for both the WWII configuration and post-1970 configuration of the USS Midway.

Cheers, Rick

I have been a Big Mo fan for as long as I can remember. All I want is a 1/350 scale of a USS Missouri in the caliber of quality of the new model ships now.

I would like to see a 1/350 of the USS Wyoming as well as an Omaha Light cruiser and a USS Montana. My father served on the USS Trenton, CL-11, in WW II he enlisted in 1940 and got out in 1946 he passed along a few stories about the T-boat as he called the Trenton. If the model companies were smart, and I wonder some times if it evades them at times, they should monitor forums for ideas. However, it boils down to how many models they can sell of a particular ship. They could combine a whole class modification into one model like the South Dakota class. I realize that would probably be real expensive to produce as for instance the South Dakota had two 5 inch/38 turrets removed so as to accommodate President Roosevelt with a state room with a bath tub. A point of interest I had read somewhere, Squadron books on battleships part 2, that the USS Montana’s bottom hull design was used on the aircraft carrier USS Midway if true that is kind of cool as the USS Midway wasn’t all that slow a ship in the water.
