Rob,

I know you can't give specifics, but since Dragon has done the very similar Gearing, is a Sumner a possibility? In looking at the parts in the Gearing kit, it looks like segments of Sprue A, B and C would need to be replaced for a Sumner, but the other sprues would stay the same. The Sumner was much more widely used in WWII also, meaning I think it would have a broad appeal.

My votes:

#1 - USS New Mexico/Idaho/Mississippi-class BB (my dad served on the Idaho).

#2 - USS Ward-class destroyer - perhaps with a Japanese mini-sub.

#3 - perhaps an assortment of sizes of WWII PT boats.

#4 - any of the Pearl Harbor-attack cage-mast U S BBs.

Thanks for asking...
