[navydavesof]

I've already cast my five "official" votes, but I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus in favor of the Iraqi coal barge. Bill K

The coal barge is cool.

3. 15,00 tonner DD

[USCGboater]

My Five:

1. A Cleveland class CL (WW2 fit). I'd build CL-57, myself....

2. USCG Secretary class Cutter in WW2 fit. (The 327' Hamilton class.)

3. HMS Ark Royal or HMS Illustrious in WW2 fit. I want 1/350 scale Swordfish on my deck!

4. USS Constitution and/or HMS Victory

5. A WW2 Attack Transport

[Heavy Melder]

With school out of the way for the week I have time to sit down and work this list out....

1. Late WWII U.S.S. Texas
2. All of the big five, early and late war fits
3. U.S.S. Ranger CV-4
4. Atlanta class light cruisers, any and all WWII fits
5. Portland class heavy cruisers

[Guchi]

1. HMS Suffolk or any County Class Cruiser
2. HMS Kenya or any Colony Class Cruiser
3. RM Roma
4. HMS K G V
5. HMS Rodney

[Aidan]

In no particular order of preference, my list would be;


1; Anything with cage mast's, preferably the USS Tennesee, they are such beautiful looking ships, there are plenty of post Pearl Harbour models around so its about time we had a pre Pearl Harbour cage mast cutie.

2; HMS Dreadnought, its about time someone did a model of the Battleship that started it all.

3; Rodney/Nelson, well overdue for the 1/350 treatment in plastic and such unique looking ships.

4; A DKM "K" class Light cruiser such as Koln, Nurnberg etc, every other major WW2 DKM ship is covered so why not fill the gap.

5; A WW2 RN Carrier, particularly Ark Royal or Victorious in May '41 fit.

ok, I know I cant list 6 but what the heck, how about HMS Hermes, Falkland War fit, would be fitting as The RN's last proper Carrier.

[dwonders]

1. USS Midway Class (post SCB-110)
2. DKM K Class light Cruiser
3. DKM Emden
4. USS Alaska
5. USS Forrestal Class (any)

4. Baltimore Class Cruiser
5. USS Alaska Battlecruiser

[Ian Ruscoe]

I'd like to see the following;
1. HMS Norfolk (WW2 Cruiser) circa. Battle of North Cape to go with Scharnhorst
2. HMS Iron Duke (WW1 Battlship)
3. HMS Exeter (post rebuild after river plate action)
4. HMS Victorious (WW2 fleet carrier)
5. HMS Vanguard (Royal Navy's last battleship and most beautiful).
As a footnote could somebody please produce a new and accurate model of a Flower class Corvette in 1:72nd scale has the Matchbox/Revell kit is well past it's sell by date. Having made three of these kits with the David Parkins updates this kit needs to be retired and replaced with an all new production. It would also sell very well providing it's better than it's predicessor.

[Tigerfish]

HMS Exeter (River plate)
HMS Ajax (River Plate)
HMS Suffolk (Denmark Straits)

[iang]

1. HMS Victorious/Illustrious/Formidable (WW2 fleet crrier)
2. HMS Indefatigable/Implacable (WW2 fleet carrier)
3. HMS Glorious/Courageous (As fleet carriers)
4. HMS Tiger (WW1 Battlecruiser)
5. HMS Vanguard (WW2 Battleship)

[Arael]

1. Pre-war Tennessee/Colorado class
2. Dunkerque Class
3. La Galissonni�re class
4. Jeanne D'Arc class training/light cruiser (Never happening, I know)
5. Portland class

Edited. Seeing as how Trumpeter is doing a Littorio with the Roma, there's nothing to prevent me from putting the Portland in. I still say the Jeanne D'Arc needs a model in a scale larger then 1/1250 though.
