Hi

There's decent kits of Yamato in both 1/700 and 1/350. I have the Tamiya 1/700 Yamato and Musashi and the Fujimi 'Super Yamato'. That is Yamato with 6 20' guns in place of the 18.1' guns and 24 3.9' guns in place of the 5' guns. Etch is easy to get hold of for them too.

thanks
Mike

With all the new kits that have come out, or that have been announced that I haven't been able to afford yet as it is there is only one kit that I can say I'd buy even if I had to sell off some kits to get it. 1/350 Scale HMS Warspite. Another kit that seems to make so much sense for DML to do, since they already make her in 1/700, is a 1/350 scale Atlanta class CLAA, either Atlanta herself or Juneau. If you can imagine one of their excellent destroyers made just a bit larger, with the same torpedo tubes, light AA, radar, etc. being able to be used in the Atlanta this one seems to almost make itself. Come on DML.

Hey Al, just purchase it and mail it here. I'll gift wrap it and send it for xmass.

Sure you would! You and I both know you would hold it for ransom, a chance to root around in my spares drawer to your hearts content. AL

Oh! Toy airplanes! (Just kid'n boys. I play with 'em too.)

How about a good 1/48 scale Soviet BI-1 rocket plane? Rare as heck but very interesting looking.

A PLASTIC 1/35 scale PACV (Hovervraft)

A PLASTIC 1/35 scale PGM MK-49 Monitor River Boat

I'm sure Trumpeter can do these at a reasonable price!

FYI Rodger - I hope if they do the Atlanta in 1/350, they will retool completely. The 1/700 kit is the old Skywave kit with a few extras. What they didn't too was retool the hull. The armour belt in scale is thicker than a battleship's! If they do an all new version like the destroyers it would be a great kit.
thanks
Mike

Now there is a perfect way of sneaking those kits into the house for those that need to!

As for aircraft------- I'm still waiting for that 1/32 scale A-6 Trumpeter announced a few years ago.

Dear god, no! Almost anyone other than Academy. AFV Club would be first choice. Would look super cool next to their LVTP-6.

Anything in 1/32 scale WW1 aircraft that has not already been made, but in particular I would love to see the following two aircraft.

Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c
The German Taube (Dove) type two seater. ( this was pre war but very close to it.)

Both beautiful aircraft and both playing a role in aircraft development.

Cheers

Des.

A retooled Kaga would be most welcome in 1/700 as would a WW2 Akagi in 1/700

thanks
