Hasagawa has the Neptune and Orion (I even have a Neptune in my For Sale thread).
Revell did the Atlantic 1. Not sure what it would take to convert to the Mk 2.

I would love a 72nd SRN4 and a 72nd PACV.

A block of modelling time . . . Cmon' I have to pay for an hr of time in the airplane, right now I'd do the same so I could build!

Fulcrum · October 15, 2010, 12:51:46 AM

I currently have a urge to build a 1:72 Flanker, ANY flanker (except Su-32/34) including Su-27SK, Su-30M, Su-30MKI, Su-33, Su-35, Su-35BM or Su-37.

Airfix have released the 32nd Jaguar XKR and Aston Martin DBR. Wooo hoooo! The Jag will be converted back to a road car and it's the first XK in any scale injection.

My current wish list is a big enough win on the Lottery to ensure I can get to the UK nationals this year, the finances are looking a bit dodgy so I may not manage to go

I have exactly the same wish for exactly the same reason

GTX · January 16, 2011, 12:00:51 AM

My current wishes:

1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-83
1/48 Vickers Wellesley
1.48 Edgley EA-7 Optica
1/48 Late War German Tail Turret (i.e the 2 or 4 gun powered turret)
1/48 F-35 (an accurate one!)
1/48 S-37 (the single engined version)
1/48 Gloster Javelin

and of course, still waiting for a 1/48 Su-32/34 or a conversion kit thereof...I'm looking at you Trumpeter, Hobby Boss and Neomega!

Regards,

Greg

Currently:

Revell to reissue the Matchbox HMS Tiger and HMS Exeter.
IP kits of the Type 22, 23 and Leander-class frigates, plus some more Royal Navy subjects in general. Cruisers, battleships, and carriers. All in 1:700.

Bandai to do some new MG kits that interest me! Fed up of the current wave of subjects from the 00 and Wing series, or variants/recolours of the same old RX-78 and Zaku standards.

Volks and/or Wave to do some more 1:100 Five Star Stories IP kits.

2 that I'd never hoped to see well done in 1/48 are actually coming soonish: F3H-2 Demon and MiG-21MF.

However, I'd love to see the SR.177, Yak-28 series, along with esoteric Russian interceptors/prototypes done in 1/48.

But I dream.

Tamia just did it for me, they released a Stug III as a Finnish sturmi. Wanted to do one for a couple of years now. :-)

1/700
Virginia class CGN
Independence class LCS's

And in the 1/72 front:

Pak-FA (insta-whif!)

Wow, just realized that these showed up in plastic form, as well as the Long Beach in 1/700 (which I forgot to add at the time).

Still waiting for plastic versions of a 1/700 Alaska and Des Moines, as well as a more modern version of the angled deck Essex (other than the Antietam).

And now I want the love child of the F-22 and Mig 1.44 (J-20) in 1/72 form!!!

Anigrand made that kit as seen here.

Quote1/72 Lockheed P-2V Neptune. With poded turbo-jets.

Didn't Hasegawa make one of those once upon a time?

Quote1/72 P-3C Orion or P-7/CP-140.

I think Hasegawa also made one of these. They show up every-so-often on bargain tables around here.

I know I've seen at least one Airfix SRN4 kit recently, in one of the model shops local to me. I think it was around the £25 mark. I can have a look/pick it up for you if you'd like.
