Warship Requests!

Kits, pleeeease...

patmat2350 We're builders at heart, so we plan for KITs as well. I snapped these photos at the factory of a Yamato KIT

It's really nice seeing you here on Hobby Squawk, I hope you find a fun second online home here. Your 3DP work is incredibly inspiring!

SWEET! I know what I'm getting my brother for Christmas!

An LCAC would be awesome! That has been on my wishlist for a long time. A Wasp Class Amphibious Assault ship would really be awesome as well, with a deck packed full of V-22s, AH-1Zs, CH-53s, and F-35Bs!

[Alpha]

A Wasp-class LHD is not a bad idea, at all! It's not surprising to me that you're the first to mention it, DeltaDart

[ttodro]

I’m hoping for submarine or two in the not too distant future. The PT boat is awesome!

A Hornet or Yorktown to go with USS Missouri would be nice to see, too.

USS Boise CL class
USS Northampton CA class
USS Boston CA class

IJN Takeo CA class
IJN Fubuki DD class
DKM Scharnhorst or Gneisenau BC class
DKM ADM Hipper or Prinz Eugen CA class
DKM Graf Spee PB class

USS Arleigh Burke
USS Spruance
RUS Kirov

Hood, Graf Spee & Arleigh Burke should be easy since tools should be there, perhaps an update needed for additional details. Takeo was offered some time ago by TianJie - perhaps that tooling might be made available, too.

In addition to the smaller subjects I posted above, I would love to see these Kaiserliche Marine subjects appear. SMS Emden would be a re-release since it had been originally by Graupner years ago.

How about a Pearl Harbor memorial series?

I'd like the tug Hoga (YT-146).

... I might have a little info...

If you're planning a WWII era USN carrier... I think the obvious choice would be CV-6, USS Enterprise.

A couple of post-war, non-US suggestions for consideration: HMCS Annapolis and HMCS Iroquois. Iroquois was extensively modified in the 1980's and could be done in either configuration

schwimmwagen

Check, check, check, check, and check

[herrmill]

I'll second the Schwimmwagen but recommend only in large scale - 1/16 is far too small for that little beast. Would be a great replacement to the GI Joe Jeep I had as a kid way back in the '60s.

Graupner had marketed a 1/200 Nimitz class carrier. I did not jump on it when I should have. I would love to have one now.

I have a 1/96 Essex Class (and also a 1/96 Iowa) but they are certainly harder to transport.

I like your shop and transport setup, J Mitchel !!

A 1/200 scale Nimitz, you say? I'm comfortable disclosing here on Hobby Squawk that we are pointed toward bringing in this big beast of a boat this year. Details to follow; as I mentioned in another thread, we're still in the process of adding additional product pages.

Best part is it's in scale with our 1/200 Missouri and possibly some escort craft down the line, just give us time to update it to bring it in line with our standards.

Don't forget the YTBs. I figure a 109' Navy tug would be about 6.5" at 1/200th scale. No way an aircraft carrier or battleship is going to dock all by itself.

OH NO you just didn't say that Alpha. Now this IS the only vessel that I would buy and for static display only.
Why you say ……… because I am a Plankowner of CVAN-68(commissioned as such 3May75) and then redesignated as CVN-68 on 30Jun75 as part of the fleet wide realignment that year.
It's first 7 month service deployment after a Gitmo shakedown and a 3 month North Atlantic was the 76 Med Cruise.
I still have my 76 Med Cruise Book, fortunately it wasn't in the rolling bunkhouse that was lost in the garage inferno where I lost my plankowner belt buckle and ballcap.
The cruise book is right there in front my A-6 with my squadrons markings.

Yes! Perfect!
