How can we be impressed by your committment to bigger-house/deeper-pockets scale when you can't even make your mind up what scale your fonts are in?  ;) :P

Ideally Greg.  Wish I could convince model companies to send you 1/48 B-36, B-52, C-133, R6V, and Mars flying boat to boost your U.S. 50s era kits.  Need to increase my lobbying efforts.  Hang in there, keep the hope and I will too.

Personally I think Greg needs a 1/48 USS Nimitz to round out his collection.

I found the program to submit ideas & pictures a bit buggy on a couple computers.

Graeme,

I was having similar issues with the registration page that had the process freeze on me several times.  I disabled my add-blocker and do not track features for that page and it was still giving me problems during the registration process.  Eventually I was able to finish the registration process only after refreshing the screen a number of times to get it cleared out and working for me.  The eMail was finally sent and I was able to log in properly registered.  Certainly was a bit out of the ordinary though. 

You should have included a request for a 1:35th Leopard Biber AVLB in your submission.  M48 AVLB and M60 AVLB would also be nice but one step at a time.

I missed that one.  Will have to go back and vote for it.  :)

***Went looking for it and did not find it.  Where exactly did you find the entry?  I tried several of the available search options and they all came back with no results.  :(

It was just present on the first page when I went to visit the site. I have not got the search to work at all.

Checked again this morning and there were a lot more entries to vote on but not the Biber AVLB.

yeah - you're right - its gone! Along with a few other Leopard variants that were there a couple days ago. I see it took my Roland and Iltis (way at the bottom with 2 votes), but failed to upload the photo, which has a lot to do with how many votes something gets I think.

OK, I hit keyword Bundeswehr, and they all popped back up, in the "Conversion" category

Well I think I've just uploaded an idea for a 1/700th Leander class frigate, but it hasn't appeared yet. Do they need manual approval by someone at Revell or do they just appear?
