Here’s a list of plastic model kits that I’d manufacture if I was a multi-billionaire (and that’s a hell of an if) and started my own plastic model company. Each kit is an example of something I feel has been missing from the store shelves, something I’d really like to have a good, well-designed, well-detailed model kit of. Some of the subjects listed have indeed been released as models, but not in the quality of, say, a good mass-produced styrene Tamiya or Hasegawa kit.

So, here’s a tentative and changeable list of what "JEPKITS" (that's my initials) Model Company’s catalog might include:
