On the original topic of 1/700 I'm open to suggestions since it's a quick turn around. With regards 1/72 wishlists, that needs to be the subject of a separate thread please.

I'm going to swing out on a limb & suggest 1/350 Gloster Sea Gladiators & Fairey Swordfish(es?) might be a good idea.  :angel:  ;)

Or, if you're feeling really generous, 1/350 Fairey Flycatchers (wheeled) & Westland Wapitis.  :wacko:  ;)

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

so the Swordfish is already available from Trumpeter, and there is even etch available for it!

OK, I'll give you a pass on the Swordfish ... But it's only one of three.  :wacko:  ;)

Actually, my real focus is 1925-1930, as I plan to build a RAN aircraft carrier based on the Dreadnought hull entering service in that time-frame.

So, what I'm really looking for is a torpedo bomber based on the Hawker Harrier (Not the HS Harrier!), the Westland Wapiti as the "bomber" type, a mix of Fairey Flycatchers & Gloster Gnatsnappers for fighters, & the Hawker Horsley as a Marines fighter-bomber - all except the Flycatcher (&, maybe, the Wapiti) being whiffed by having an Armstrong Siddeley Leopard engine fitted to the pointy end.
