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

I would like an LCT (4) in 1:35 scale (I know Accurate Armour made one, but it's been out of production for years, and the company is soon to be no more too.) Somewhere to put it when built would help, too, though.
