USS Midway in 1945 fit, so I voted other.

Matt

Most wanted 1/350 kits:
1) Newport class LST (LST-1179)- just a cool-looking class of ships with their bow horns.
2) Any modern amphibious/command ship (e.g., like Mt. Whitney, Blue Ridge)
3) Helicopter Assault Ships (LHA's, I think, like the Guam, Tarawa)
4) Virginia class nuclear powered cruisers
5) CGN Long Beach
Keeping my fingers crossed for 2008...

Other. I am with those who would like to see something (other than a battleship) from the First World War- HMS Lion or other battlecruisers, destroyers and cruisers. Rupe

Would like to see a model of the Gompers class tenders. Served on the Gompers 68-71

I'd still like to see an accurate plastic USS Enterprise, CV-6, with the build option for any of the 1942 battles that she participated in.

I would love to see a 1/350 kit of the Dutch cruiser De Ruyter. Failing that, my first choice for a new plastic 1/350 kit would be HMS Warspite in her WW2 fit. A ship with that service record deserves to be represented by a first class, large scale plastic kit.

My vote is for the CVE

A County Class, any county class!

Shane

A new CGN 9 would be great!

Any Major Japanese aircraft carrier from WW2.

Wasp class LHD...

From the list, I voted for the Midway but I'd also be delighted with:

1. A Wasp class LHD
2. The Oriskany in her final configuration
3. Any of the IJN carriers at Midway.
4. The Enterprise in her 1945 fit.

How about the granddaddy of them all HMS Dreadnought.I Am suprised not plastic kit manufacturer has done an economical kit yet.

Gotta be a CV-6. Preferably post Eastern Solomons when she was holding the line all by herself or post 43 refit.

I would like to see the Prinz Eugen and the USS Pittsburgh.

Hmmm. So many possibilities, so little time. I'd like to see the CVE (preferrably a Casablanca class) to go with my Tamiya Fletcher and Trumpeter DE. That way I can do a Samar diorama. I'd also like to see some more gators, like some of the early LSD's. The old Lindberg kits are getting really...well...old!

There are so many differences in the SCB125 A/C Essex ships that an entire cottage industry could support the different gun galleries, masts and antennas that separate them.

The differences in the location of the starboard lifts and the shape of all the lifts between ships make for many modeling opportunities.

I would probably buy a dozen copies of a 1:350 SCB125 Essex and the associated modification kits + photoetch, or make my own if they were not available.

The ships I would like see im this scale are.

RN County Class Cruiser
DKM Prinz Eugen
DKM Scharnhorst
HMS Warspite
USS Long Beach CGN
DKM Graf Spee
HMS Ark Royal Carrier
HMS Nelson Battleship
IJN Taiho Carrier
IJN Akagi Carrier
HMS Dreadnought Battleship
HMS Renown Battlecruiser
HMS Belfast

From that list I would vote for an other....I'd like to see a British Cruiser in 1/350....HMS Ajax would be great or a county class like Norfolk.

However, Warspite would be a great choice...in 1941 configuration.
