Here is my updated Micronaut Consolidated Wish List for 2012-2013. Three of my top 12 favorites made the GHQ 2011-2012 production schedule. Lion, Lützow, and Nevada comes off the list and are replaced by Akatsuki, 7U, and Idaho.
For all the other Micronaut fans; you are welcome to post your list of favorites for me to compile.
My choices are (in alphabetical order of country of origin):
• WWII Germany T-1939 class (T-22 through T-36 torpedo boats) - No one makes a 1/2400 metal model of this class, which was widely active during the war. With a significant number of ships in the class, many collectors & gamers would buy several packs. GHQ models of the T-1923, T-1924, T-1935, and T-1937 torpedo boats would also be welcome, even though CinC already makes reasonable models of these classes.
• WWII Italy heavy cruiser Pola - This ship differed from all the other Italian heavy cruisers in its combination of hull and superstructure. No one makes a 1/2400 model in metal.
• WWII Japan destroyer Akatsuki class: Although generally similar to the Fubuki class, the Akatsukis were shorter, with smaller forward funnels, and had several other detail differences. To the best of my knowledge, no one makes a 1/2400 model of this class. Considering the popularity of Japanese WWII ships, it surprises me that GHQ has not modeled this class.
• WWII Japan torpedo boats Otori class – Although Viking Forge makes a 1/2400 model of this class, its quality is not up to that of GHQ. These ships were ineffective in their designed role but were useful as escorts. GHQ does not produce any of the Japanese small escort-type ships of WWII. I would like to see more of this type of small warship available (for example: French la Melpomène class, German Mob-type, Italian Spica class, Soviet Yastreb class, UK River, Loch, Bay, & Castle classes, US Tacoma class & PCE).
• WWII Japan late-war navy aircraft: Yokosuka D4Y [Judy] (both in-line & radial versions – neither had folding wings), Aichi B7A Ryusei [Grace] (open & folded wings), Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden [George], Yokosuka P1Y Ginga [Frances]. Although Jill, Val, etc. continued fighting to the end of the war, they were meat on the table for Hellcats and Corsairs. I need some improved Japanese aircraft to make hypothetical late-war battles more evenly balanced. If hypotheticals are allowed, the carrier-based Mitsubishi A7M Reppu [Sam] would have been a good match against late-war US carrier-based fighters.
• WWII Soviet Union destroyer type 7U: This is a natural follow-on to SUN02 Type 7 destroyers; differing in appearance due to two funnels for a more damage-tolerant unit machinery arrangement. A significant number were completed before the end of the war. Viking Forge makes a 1/2400 model of the Type 7U but the quality is inferior to that of GHQ’s Micronauts.
• WWII UK heavy cruisers Berwick and Cornwall: GHQ has modeled several County class cruisers but not this pair; modified with a large hanger aft but not with the cut-down quarterdeck of Cumberland and Suffolk (UKN2). Panzerschiffe makes a resin 1/2400 model of this appearance but the detail is far below that of GHQ.
• WWII UK light cruiser Modified Colony class (Ceylon, Newfoundland, Uganda) - All the available 1/2400 models of Colony class ships are the earlier version with four triple-6" mounts. No one makes a version with additional antiaircraft replacing one of the four 6" mounts. Also, many of the earlier Colony class were modified to this appearance during the war.
• WWII UK sloops Black Swan class - I've got plenty of 'Flower' class corvettes, but the British had hundreds of other escort-type ships (Bay, Loch, River, Bittern, Egret, Castle, etc.). Any of these would be a welcome addition. I selected Black Swan because this was the most-produced of the pre-war escort designs. Other than ‘Flower’ class corvettes, the only 1/2400 model of a WWII British escort is CinC’s Avon (River class) – not one of their best models.
• WWII US Navy & Marine early-war aircraft [Brewster F2A Buffalo, Curtiss SBC Helldiver, Douglas TBD Devastator, and Vought SBU Vindicator]: As the Japanese Navy is missing late-war aircraft, the USN is missing early-war aircraft. The Buffalo, Devastator, and Vindicator are absolutely necessary for early-war scenarios such as Coral Sea and Midway. SBCs remained on some US carriers in the first few months of 1942 and some were used in the South Pacific in the scouting role. Although they are already available, I wouldn’t mind more Wildcats showing up in this pack.
• WWII US battleship Idaho (BB-42) (as modified with enclosed single 5†mounts): This ship had a unique appearance and was involved in combat with this arrangement. To the best of my knowledge, no one makes a 1/2400 scale model.
• WWII US heavy cruiser Indianapolis (CA-35) (final configuration) – We are getting close to being able to represent all the US pre-war heavy cruiser types in both early-war & late-war configuration. A late-war Pensacola (CA-24) or Chester (CA-27) would also be welcome, but Indianapolis gets my vote because of her tragic sinking. No one makes a 1/2400 model of a late-war Indianapolis.

I am putting in a list of my second dozen of most-wanted Micronauts. Compared to the previous year’s list, Bretagne is on the production schedule and Akatsuki, 7U, & Prince of Wales have moved to the first dozen. I have added Germany Schnellboote, Soviet battleship Sovyetskiy Soyuz design, US escort destroyer Evarts, and US cargo ships Hog Island A to this list.
My choices are (in alphabetical order of country of origin):
• WWII Germany Aircraft Pack 2 [Fw 190A/F, Ju 88 or Ju 188 (preferably with dive-bomber armament), He 111 (preferably with torpedo armament), He 115 floatplane, and/or He 177 (preferably with FX 1400 guided bomb or Hs 293 missiles)]: All five types played significant roles in maritime combat. If not Fw 190A/F, then Bf 109T – the Germans really need a single-engine fighter. Maybe even both fighter types rather than one of the Heinkel aircraft.
• WWII Germany motor torpedo boats (Schnellboote) S.26, S.67, or S.100 type: These fast craft battled around all the coastlines of Europe. A set of these would make a good match with USN12. Hundreds were built in a variety of sub-types, so many customers would buy multiple packs. A pack of the British Fairmile type of MTB/MGB would also be nice.
• WWII Soviet battleship Sovyetskiy Soyuz design: Now that GHQ has produced the British Lion design, it’s time to consider the Soviet design. Like the German H, British Lion, and US BB-67 designs, work was started but none were produced.
• WWII UK battleships Duke of York, Anson, &/or Howe: Although less famous than KGV (UKN10) and PoW, the remainder of the modern British battleships of WWII should be modeled. As with Prince of Wales, the superstructure differences are manageable, but converting the KGV hull is just too difficult. I would prefer a late-war appearance with additional light AA added.
• WWII UK destroyer leaders (Codrington, Keith, Assinboine, Exmouth, Faulknor, Grenville, Hardy, and Inglefield): The British built a slightly larger leader for each of the destroyer classes from “A†through “I.†Although each of these ships was slightly different, they could reasonably be represented by three moldings.
• WWII UK Fleet Air Arm pack: By now, anyone with 1/2400-scale British aircraft has plenty of Swordfish, but none of the other purpose-built aircraft used on carriers. Blackburn Skua, Fairey Fulmar, Fairey Firefly, and Fairey Barracuda would provide some variety on the decks. For land-based designs adapted for carrier use, Gloster Gladiators and Hawker Sea Hurricanes would also be useful in addition to the available Sea Spitfires. All of these aircraft saw significant combat from British carriers
• WWII UK battleship Prince of Wales: This is a historically-important ship that deserves a 1/2400 model. It’s just too hard to remove the external degaussing cable from KGV (UKN10). Preferably, GHQ’s PoW would have the light AA that was added shortly before it was sunk.
• WWII UK heavy cruiser York: Exeter is much more famous, but York deserves a good 1/2400 model. The significant differences in the superstructure make it very difficult to convert Exeter to York.
• WWII US escort destroyer Evarts (DE-5) class: If GHQ were to produce this, we would have good models of all the US WWII escort destroyer types. Their short-hulled design is visibly different from that of the other escort destroyer classes.
• WWI US cargo ships Hog Island type A (1022 plan): This was one of the early efforts at mass-produced ships. Nearly 100 were built in a brand new shipyard, but none were completed in time for the Great War. Technically advanced but with an ‘ugly’ profile, many survived into the 1940s, forming a major part of early-war convoys. Over 50 were sunk in WWII.
• WWII US fast attack transport Lawrence (APD-37) class: Developed from destroyer escort hulls, these fast transports proved very useful in the latter part of the US island-hopping campaign. Dozens would have been involved in the invasion of Japan. Many continued in service for a variety of nations into the 1960s. I don’t know of any 1/2400 models of this class. They could be converted from USN46, but I just don’t want to get into that much cutting.
• WWII US light cruiser Worcester (CL-144) class: These ships, completed after the end of the war, were the ultimate “light†cruisers. Carrying semi-automatic guns, they had significant capability against both surface and air targets. Too expensive for a post-war Navy, their careers were relatively short. I want them to escort Midway class aircraft carriers during Operation Downfall. Seabattle makes a reasonable model of this class, but much more expensive and yet not as good as GHQ’s standard.

Four of the ships on my 'most wanted" list have made the 2011-2012 production schedule, so the following are my twelve votes for next year. I may be rushing things a bit, might as well get my votes in early.
World War II
1. CA Duquesne
2. CL Duguay - Trouin
3. BB Malaya
4. CA York
5. CL Sheffield
6. CA Pola
7. BB Yamashiro
8. CV Unryu
9. BB Iowa
10. Russian DD type 7U
World War I
11. BB Neptune
12. AC Devonshire
No. 12 is a new addition to my list. The Hampshire of this class was in one of the armored cruiser squadrons that saw action at Jutland; with the addition of the Duke of Edinburgh in 2011/2012. seven of the eight ACs at Jutland will already be produced by GHO. A Devonshire would complete the two AC squadrons. (And, a Devonshire class AC was also at the Falkland Islands.)
My "Most Wanted list also includes two DD classes (a Melpomene or Le Fier, and a Maestrale/ Oriani), but I can wait. although it might be nice to get all of my "twelve" next year, that would mean no WWI ships (other than the two i listed). I do enjoy being surprised by the new WWI ships that come out every year,so keep it up, GHQ. Looking at my "Janes" for WWI, I see that the French didn't have much in the way of cruisers in WWI. However, there are two classes of ACs (3 ships total) that might be of interest. Both classes have six funnels; now, that would be interesting in a GHQ model!

I agree on needing a WW2 Malaya. I did a Barham conversion that I don't much like and which was pure murder to do
For WW1 I'd certainly buy a Neptune to replace my hybrid CinC/GHQ conversion as well as a Devonshire. What I most want though is more WW1 light ships. CL's Caroline, Comus, Frauenlob and additional DD classes for both Germans and RN. I would also like a Hessen and perhaps some London/Formidable/Queen class predreads to match some of the other Nation's predreadnoughts out now. Lord Nelson and Agamemnon as well

GHQ’s release of their 2011-2012 schedule and the subsequent flurry of comments have made significant changes to the Micronaut Wish List. The noted changes are from the 2011-05-10 summary (just before the 2011-2012 schedule announcements).
Total number of ship types receiving at least one vote: 862 (a net increase of one – ten ships that had been on the list were announced for the 2011-2012 schedule and eleven ships received votes for the first time).
Most popular item: WWII aircraft carrier deck decals (27 votes; WWII UK battleship Lion design, previously tied with 27 votes, was announced for production)

Since the new releases for 2011-2012 is out, I figured perhaps I can continue to place my votes again.
I believe that through perseverance and persistancy, I will get my request answered.
I am voting for Modern Micronauts again.
And the list of Ships which I would like to see GHQ make would be
-Type 23 Frigate from UK
-Type 45 Daring Class Destroyer from UK
-Arleigh Burke Flight IIA
Would definitely acquire a considerable number of these, should it be produced.
