My dream kit would be a vinyl or resin 1/6 scale kit of Superman, as portrayed by George Reeves in the classic 1950s ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN television series. He would have to have a dynamic pose - maybe preparing to take flight or lifting some great weight - rather than a statuesque "stand back, I'm super" sort of posture. And since it's my dream, the model would come with a fabric cape, silkscreened with the "S" symbol on the back!

I just started a subscription to Fine Scale Modeler and was looking forward to the videos. I was very surprised and disappointed to see that there was no subtitling in the video. How do you expect the hearing impaired and deaf subscribers to be able to appreciate the videos?  I would hope that subtitles would be standard in this day and age- very disappointed.

All available 1/35 scale railroad locomotives are German. I would like 1/35 scale U.S. Army Transportation Corps Baldwin 2-8-0 victory locomotive.

Macchi MC.202/205 in 1/24 scale!!!! It would be possible to put all different pieces of the MC.202/205 in one box and then be able to build both. And the variations in camouflage are endless!!!

My dream kit would be the 18-inch classic ENTERPRISE from the 1960's Star Trek engineered to the craftsmanship and quality of the 1/350 scale Star Trek kits and the 1/1000 Strange New Worlds ENTERPRISE.

I think my dream kit would be of the Caterpiller Duece earth mover in 1/35. The actual version has a moveable chassis for transportation and when working.Civilian and military.

I love Aaron's choice and mine would be the Cessna Crane, preferably in 1/48 scale depicting a British Common Wealth Training Plan aircraft stationed in Canada.

My one dream kit would be a 1/32 Short Singapore. A kit with the quality of a Wingnut Wings kit would be Ideal.

Hmm.. The one kit... I think it would have to be the Westland Scout/ Wasp in 1/48, or 1/35 as it is quite small.

Another great episode. I drilled a series of holes in a 12" piece of 2 x 4 as a brush holder. The spacing allows easy access and I can sort the brushes by size and shape. This raises a question though...I use my brushes for whatever paint is needed at the moment, but I have read we should have separate brushes for acrylics and for enamels. Please discuss in a future Tooling Around.  My ultimate kit would have to be a 1/32 B-52. Big enough to keep me busy for a long time!
