Andy is the only scale modeler I know that owns his own hobby shop and that’s so awesome .👍

[Greywolfgrafix]

Andy, this kit fills a HUGE vacuum in WW1 ships. I want to see an SMU-20 type sub, such as the one that sank the Lusitania.

[Random]

Ships are my favorite subject to build. I wish to see more plastic models of civillian ships, specifically workships like tugs, offshore support vessels, icebreakers, fishing ships and stuff like that. Those kinds of models are plenty to be found in wooden kit form or from RC based companies, but very few made in smaller scale plastic kits.

Andy you are the one who got me started in the hobby. During covid I had came across your videos and I have ordered numerous kits from you and have been very pleased doing business with you. Thank you

[remibringmethatashe]

I'll never get tired of your videos, I was watching some modeler vids because I've always been scared to start modelling because people kept telling me that I wasn't made for it..
Thanks to you I decided to start, and I'm glad I did because I enjoy it so much, finished my Tamiya Leopard 2A5 while watching your video on it, and I've never felt this proud to finish something !
So thank you, and keep up the good work !

Awesome 😎! Your next build should be a WW2 U-boat😁! Always happy to see you building and painting!

[dusanbolek]

I love how the superstructure pieces have all those little pins and frames to line up everything perfectly without too much effort. I have just finished building Trumpeter 1/350 Arleigh Burke kit and pretty much all of its superstructure is built from flat side and top pieces to be glued together without any supporting pins, frames or anything. It is like building a house from cards while preserving a perfect geometry of the superstructure that doesn't even have a right angle anywhere. That's the difference between well designed and crappy kit.

I would love to see a 1/48 Ford Trimotor. Great work as always, can't wait to get mine.

[coinsmith]

Ah... You asked for suggestions for manufacturers for future projects. OK then:
1) A really nice, DETAILED 1/72 scale example of the Type XXI U-Boat, with photo etch, etc. Shouldn't be too difficult to produce, and will fill an empty niche in EVERY chronological display of WWII U-Boats.
Please Andy, try to talk one of the better kit producers into doing this!
And again, thanks for all you do! Hope to visit your store one day and meet you.

How about a Zeppelin model from WW! Have it include aircraft hanging from the bottom to later be launched.

[tonyedwards]

I would like to see 1/72 scale British ww2 S or T class submarine. That would be great 👍

[paulalderton]

Andy great video. We are missing a 1/32 Hawker Hurricane Mk 1 - never been a decent kit. Come on Tamiya:-)

Hi Andy, greetings from Sydney! As a veteran of the 1/72 Revell Type 1Xc, Type 1Xc/40 & GATO Class US Naval WWII (and the 1/72 Flower Class Corvette - an ABSOLUTE beast, which tested every skill I possess after 50 years of assembling & scratch building, at every stage of assembly and is virtually scratch - built above the waterline! - a 2 year project LOL!)... FYI... the "Conning tower is a separate pressure - vessel above the pressure - hull & is housed inside the SAIL - the name given, universally to what most folks call the" Con' "... anyhow, I love your easy and very cool headed attitude to model - making... my usual forte is large scale - 1/48 & 1/32 Warbird's... but I love ship's and couldn't resist the Revell Submarines when they became, very, briefly available... kindest regards :)

[dongorski]

Superb work Andy! I’m an airplane nut, not armour or ships, but I have learnt so much from your weathering techniques. Keep it up. All the best from Wellington NZ.

[RDBetz]

I'd like to encourage Revell to come out with the 1:48 SR-71 they've been teasing as soon as possible.

[christiankirkwood]

As an avid model maker /assembler /scratch - builder of 58 years of age, my thing is aircraft - '48 /' 32nd scale. As a break and as a ship lover, I've done the Revell 1/72 Flower Class Corvette - almost entirely scratch - built above deck and I've kit - bashed a few Airfix kits for weapons (40mm Bofors, etc) - here's a kit that challenged every ounce of skill and patience I have at every step and sub - assembly - 2 years to build (thanks Revell!) - a complete retooling or... a 1/72 Castle Class Frigate would be beautiful and would sell. Om the flip - "side of that, Revell have already presented us with the Type IXc-40 (Snorkel equipped) U190, the IXc U505 (Same basic kit) - both a beautiful build which I have, and the massive 1320mm US Navy Gato Fleet Class Submarine... another absolute gem to build... these kits all constantly sell - out and are massively catered for with aftermarket goodies... (Revell also do the Type VIIc - early and late war versions)... these kits are hard to come by as it is, so other manufacturers looking for a good, solid seller world do well to put out this type of ship - convoy escorts like the Flower & Castle Class are large'ish but not prohibitively big and are so popular - this type, the US Navy Fletcher Class Destroyer - in 1/72 scale are the stuff of ship - modellers dream's... Get in the ear of some of the manufacturers you have a working relationship with and let them know what people would love to buy to build! Kind regards from Sydney :)

[iandavid]

I'd like to see more things like the Maschinen Krieger range, alternate history type creations. Additionally, standard models with more internal workings available, even if it's optional. Like service hatches on planes that you can show the gubbins inside or just seal it up and use the parts as greeblies for other projects. Just more details beyond the cockpits and cabins that the builder can choose to show or not.

[leco]

It's the next in line to build. Thanks for the tips.

[glennvogt]

First off I want to say U 9 looks great.
The one kit I would like to see is a 1/48 scale V1 flying bomb with steam generator, catapult and launch ramp.

[robbo]

Now that Wingnut Wings is gone, it would be great to see some of the more known model companies (such as Tamiya) stepping up to the mark and developing their own 1/32 scale WW1 aircraft models. The range and possibilities of types are limitless such as the Italian Caproni trimotors, the Handley Pages and other British derivatives and the multitude of German, Austria-Hungarian, Russian etc. We can only but dream!!
