Start believing. Think in terms of actual service. Think that different people have different tastes. Think that I already have 3 US cruisers but no British ones. Let's have a Town, a Dido and even, yes, a Colony. Then I can start thinking about other nations' cruisers, even the white elephants among them.
I think 350z was thinking in terms of looks, not service. Yes, there are ships that did much more for the war effort than the Alaska class, and yes, everyone has different tastes. However - IMO - there are few ships that are better looking than the Alaska's, white elephants or not!
Brooklyn class
Des Moines Class
HMS Warspite
HMAS Sydney
USS Marblehead
USS West Virginia
USS Tennessee
USS Houston
HMS Vanguard
Town class cruiser
"Four piper" destroyer
Montana class
"Lion" class battleship
HMCS - Ontario
(Northampton class in general)
none of the above. lets have some Italian ships that arnt resin for a change. More british ships, more Dreadnaught and pre drednaught subjects.

Very late vote, but a Colony class Cruiser would be great. HMS Trinidad would be nice, if only because of the bizarre incident in which she torpedoed herself
Must admit I voted for a colony class, a British cruiser would be good, Renown is brilliant and I am looking forward to it coming out. Obviously it would be good to have other British options HMS warspite, Ark Royal (IV), I still think there is mileage in a 1/700 HMS Hermes because you could have 3 variants 1968 Coventional carrier with Sea Vixens, Buccaneers etc, 1982 Falkland Task force flagship with Sea Harriers etc, 1992 Indian Navy flagship. The research needed would give the manufacture 3 kit options from almost 1 lot of research, surely a good deal? Likewise leander clas frigates (British, Durch, Chilean versions to name a few). But is good to have had Repulse, Tribal class and now a renown coming in 1/700 scale.
Well, I would like any type of a WW1-WW2 cargo ship as injection!
Smaller ones are not likely, but why not the large troopship ones?
Like Queen Mary, USS West Point (ex SS America), etc?

1:350 HMS Diana 1794 - nearly released
Further kits in preparation.
I'm really hoping that now more WW2 1/700 Royal Navy stuff being released (not just by Trumpeter, but also the resin Grimsby class Sloops etc), the Colony class Cruiser (or anything else RN WW2 and of Cruiser size or smaller) will be released in the next two years or so, especially as the late 1930's RN Cruisers look so good with a very art-deco looking bridge

Well, you have most as resin... But injected plastic would also do well!
