For me:

HMS Warspite (preferably WW2 era, but WW1 would be OK with me)

Tribal Class Destroyer.

HMS Dreadnought

Any Royal Navy WW1 Battlecruiser.

Prinz Eugen

Type 42 Destroyer (preferably a Batch 1)

Thanks for starting the thread...

Here's another vote for the Prinz Eugen.  It would be great of Revell Europe followed up their new 1/350 Bismarck with a companion Prinz Eugen!

Also, another vote for the following:

BC HMS Lion 

German BC 'Derfflinger'

BB HMS Queen Elizabeth

German AC 'Scharnhorst'

I would like to add the pre-WWI USS Oregon and USS Texas.

Cheers, Rick

I'd like to see the USS Cyclops (AC-4).

For those who don't know about her The loss of the ship and 306 crew and passengers without a trace sometime after March 4, 1918 remains the single largest loss of life in U.S. Naval history not directly involving combat. The ship's fate is still a mystery that remains unsolved to this day. No wreckage of the vessel has ever been found.

Victim of the Bermuda Triangle? Mutiny? Or UBoat attack? No one knows. I hope I'm around to see this ship discovered

Which Kongo?  Both the modern Kongo and the IJN battleships have been announced and can be preordered.

I LIKE the idea of 'two in one' kits!  So many times you have sisterships that are really close; how much effort would it be for the model company to put in a couple extra molds to give builders the option of either/or?  Another option would be for the model companys (who already make all those PE 'upgrades') to make a separate set of molds that would either 'back-date,' or 'modernize' a ship that is otherwise presented as a single model kit.  I think this could work really well for ships like 'Nagato' (which already has the bow piece as a separate molding), and perhaps some of those British capital ships that had such long careers (HMS Warspite, etc)......

1/350 ship kits we'd all like to see!
Posted by searat12 on Friday, April 4, 2008 10:17 PM

I think it may be time to prod the model companies again, and it seems this forum may actually work at doing so!  Perhaps it was just coincidence, but the results from the last time around were a USS San Francisco, HMS Repulse, IJN Kongo, and now I hear a 1/350 IJN Akagi is now in the works too!  So let me kick this off with my suggestions, and please feel free to chime in with yours!  Remember, 1/350 scale!

German CA 'Prinz Eugen'

Japanese CL 'Yahagi'

CL USS Brooklyn

BB USS New Mexico (modernized)

CA USS Northampton

Japanese CA 'Mogami' (with converted flight deck aft)

Japanese carrier 'Ryujo'

Italian BB 'Littorio'

French BC 'Strasbourg'

BB HMS Warspite

And if they REALLY want to get bold, here are a few WW1 kits that would be very welcome!!

BC HMS Lion 

German BC 'Derfflinger'

BB HMS Queen Elizabeth

German AC 'Scharnhorst'

And finally, my two FAVORITE pre-dreadnoughts,

AC USS Brooklyn

Russian BB 'Oslyabia'
