Which ship model kit that's currently on your most wanted list? It can be currently out on the market or announced as a feature release.

USS Wasp (CV-7) and USS Ranger (CV-4), in 1/700, injection-molded styrene.
There are kits of these subjects, in resin, from Corsair Armada, but they're currently out of print again (they had been re-issued briefy a couple of years ago). The resin kits are very nice, but almost impossible to find.
With those two, I could model the first 9 US carriers, from the Langley to the Essex.

They have released a new USS WASP LHD-1 but that's not the CV-7. Raving reviews about the LHD-1 though. Mine would be that or the USS Enterprise 1/350 by Tamiya.  |

Yes, as far as I know, Corsair Armada is the only maker ever to have modeled CV-7. Revell, of course, had a kit of her Essex-class successor, CV-18, as the Mercury or Gemini recovery ship, but not the earlier Wasp. That may have be the same mold as their kits of the Intrepid and the Franklin, too.
I think Revell also did the later Ranger from the Forrestal class, too, but again, I don't think anyone else but CA has ever kitted CV-4. I forget who has the Langley kit, but I've seen it on some dealers' tables at recent shows.

Always wanted to make the old Airfix sea rescue boat... nice and easy, no rigging! Perhaps a Battle of Britain diorama. I'd make a model of the aircraft shot down in the channel by my great uncle Cecil.

I don't see any blips on the radar for them YET, but I would like to see kits of the boats from Discovery channels "Deadliest Catch" series.

Anything that floats (well, the real one does)
Just getting my sea legs wet so I just need boats to build for experience. First tiny 1/600 I know I can already improve on

Wooden?......Trekh Ierarkhov! 66 gun Russian Frigate (not a kit, would have to do it off plans, but they are out there)
Plastic?....1/350 Ticonderoga class Aircraft Carrier. Would like to make it to 1960's conversion of the USS Randolph (my Dad's ship)
Civil War Monitor
Comfortablynumb's 1/350 Yamato, after seeing that build, crap, I would love to have that.
And of course, The new Uss Arizona from Trumpeter with all the bells and whistles.
These are just the top 5

Already have my most wanted wooden ship kit in the stash, the Model Shipways 1/65 scale Bluenose. In plastic, I would love to have one of the revell Germany 1/72 class 7 Uboats or USN Gato Class subs.
