I received only 18 lists. Depending on how many people are on this
list (Al?), this is not a good turnout. The largest vote getters
were 1/48th scale (sorry, Steve). I counted all votes, but those
"extra votes" (past the four that I set forth) were counted in a
special tally. The have - in no way - helped the outcome.
Here are the "winners", which I have dubbed as those subjects
receiving two or more votes (as well as at least four entries per
scale - which seems only fair:-)):
In 1/350th:
Subject Number of Votes
------- ---------------
British R class (ship?) 1
In 1/72nd:

The most unusual request was the British R class, although a few more
votes of this type would have been welcome! One could deduce that
the majority of people on this list build aircraft!
One thing I now propose, is to take all requests (including those
not listed above) and actually state a current source. For example,
even though a better Nie17 is wanted in 1/72nd, you can build (and
correct), right now, the Revell or ESCI kit.
I am maintaing this list in an Excel spreadsheet. If anyone wants
to see the entire list, I can format it for tab- or comma-delimited
text file, and you can peruse at your leisure. Or, if you have
Excel, I can uuencode it for you. Let me know. I'll post those
available kits (that I know of) for the most wanted in another post.
