Franklin is on its way.......

Thread revivals are generally because a subject or heading catches the eye first.
Date they were last used becomes secondary until some one else notices.

I would love to see a particular new kit:

The Queen Mary, from perhaps 1958, in 1/350. Just a beautiful ship, and never kitted.

I remember a kit I started when I was about 9 or 10, it was the tirpitz with the option to make it as a rc ship.
I got it about half way together and then we moved and it got lost in the move.

I would love to get that kit again, but I don't remember the scale or the manufacturer. I do remember that it was a new kit in 1982 when I got it.

Look up Heritage Hobbies, Wilton Connecticut. I think I saw one there or Bismarck.

Bendinggrass mentioned the old Queen Mary in 1/350th. I think that maybe Revell or Airfix might have done a kit of her in a smaller scale.

The French inter wars transatlantic liner Normandie (nick named The Ship Of Light) was a lovely looking ship that would be nice to see in 1/350th also. The ship had beautiful lines and it met its tragic end due to a fire and it capsized in New York harbour.
Come on Heller! What are you waiting for? It is a French ship after all.

I think that might be the old Lindberg kit.

Ohhh... I would love a new kit of the early Forrestal class in 1/350..... such a great class, the first of the super-carriers, and still neglected in 1/350. Years ago, I build an Aurora kit of the USS Independence, I believe it was.

Still watching for a 1/700 injection-molded Ranger, CV-4. I think the most likely source will be Trumpter, scaling down its 1/350 scale kit.

I'll check them out. Thanks
