I'd certainly like to see more liners in a constant scale. 1:700th would be a great scale as there are a few kits out there. Airfix I think have lost the plot by not issuing again their old liners but again I'm not paying stupid money for the QM2 in 1:600th. That is why to me the 700th ships have potential. I have the QM2 which is almost finished, a couple of the Japanese liners, though I would like more of those to do as the Hospital ships etc. I also scratch built the Schiller and was converting the Academy Titanic to the Olympic, which Revell have now done which is typical isn't it!!! (I'll troop ship the conversion I think.)
Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth ought to be done to compliment the QM2, then there are the "classics": Normandie, United States, France, QE2, Canberra etc...ahhh we can wish and hope I guess.

Good idea Steviecee Hopefully that will inspire Revell to do more!!!
Just bought a Paper Scillonian II to help scratch build a 1:700th one too.
