What RN WW2 1/350 kit you wish the most?

A River class frigate ( L'Arsenal announced plans for one at Telford years ago but still nowt) and an armed trawler; Lady Shirley or Ayrshire say?

 

I once suggested on another well known forum that Revell should do a WW2 T class sub but was told it wouldn't sell as it's not US or German! Cobblers!

I'd go with the River Class, my father served on HMS Jed...

I would like to see a 1/350 HMS Duke of York  at the time of the hunt for Scharnhorst.

 

A Tamiya HMS Prince of Wales kit plus a few conversion parts from Modelmonkey on shapeways.com, or the Pontos Model HMS Duke of York Detail Up set will get you there :)

For personal reasons, a Town class Long Range Destroyer Escort (specifically HMS Stanley) and an I class destroyer (specifically HMS Imperial).

 

Also HMS Royal Oak wouldn't go amiss.

I had a relative who survived Royal Oak being sunk at Scarpa flow, he then got posted to HMS Hood ! He had a short but exciting life.....

I think also a Crown Colony class cruiser would be interesting. I am not aware of any of this type have ever been available in 1/350. Am I right?

No there hasn't been one made, and this would be near the top of my list as well.  

 

Though to be honest, I would take almost any WW2 RN ship in 1/350th that hasn't already been made:

 

Any Illustrious class carrier,

County, Town or Colony class cruisers, though any of the cruisers would work,

Emergency War Destroyers,

Abdiel class minelayer,

River class frigate or so many other small warships.

 

Would prefer these in Injection Plastic, only because I have most of the WEM ships already

A 'Dido' class cruiser would be top of my list. Followed by any of the other classes of cruiser (County, Exeter, Colony, Town, Leander and Arethusa)   but especially a 'C' class AA conversion.

'Illustrious' class carrier

CVE of the 'Biter' class

'Hunt' and converted 'V&W' class destroyers

and some armed Trawler type (maybe better in 1:144 scale or larger).

and a big lotto win to pay for them all!

All in plastic. Also like to see a KM Leipzig or Nurnberg
