not counting putting it away (for a yr) because you got p/o ed at it and what was the kit
me it took 3 1/2 months to do working a revell saratoga a/c carrier in 1/542 scale
i worked it 2-3 times a week for 30-45 min sessions
About a month-and-a-half, working on it only on Fridays. It was a Tamiya T-34/76A (I think that's the right designation).
I have quite a few that got put away for a spell, too.
In progress: Hasegawa P-51D/K (being built as a D), Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper 1275S, Testors Kaman H-43B Huskie (held up by lack of parts)
To be resumed sooner or later: Academy M151A2 with Eduard photo-etch
Forever...and a day.
Academys 1/32 F/A-18D, over the course of about three months, I logged all the hours and what I did durring each session. I built it for my bro, who was in Iraq at the time, dropping bombs from his F-18D. We compared our log entries to see what I was doing while he was flying. Turned out, when I built the GBU-12s, he dropped a pair and got 50+ of Zakari's(SP?) guys!!!! Anyway, I put in 127 hours on it.
Pffft..... ask me when I'm done!!

Several qualify under the put away for a long time due to frustration, stress ,difficulty, waiting for AM parts, etc. Many are still in the on and off to this day. But a rough guestimate of work time would probably top four to six months. My biggest slowdown always seems to come at the painting stage. I can build quickly, but painting takes me a long time. Add interiors that need to be painted during construction and build time goes up exponentially for me.

Dan A About a month-and-a-half, working on it only on Fridays. It was a Tamiya T-34/76A (I think that's the right designation).
Now that the photo-etch fret for my M151A2 is in-hand, I'm thinking that the myriad tiny parts will push that particular build well past a month-and-a-half...
18months and counting. IJN Yamato. First 3 months not very succussful brush painting large areas, cleaned it off. Next three months a few goes at airbrushing. 6 months in storage ready for move. Day after taken out of storage partial broken hull by kids, large break by me. Next 6 months rebuilding broken hull and built up main guns with AM Barrels and Eduard PE. Currentley having issues with hand tremours from medication and fine things are difficult. ETA on finished product? When its done.

About a half a year for a 1/35 Zvezda M-3 Scout Car. The kit needed alot of work(considering it's a 40 year old kit) plus I decided to scratch quite a few parts.

You mean actually finish one? What an odd concept!

On my workbench now:
It's all about classic cars now!
Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?
i've got several that are taking years.
i'm getting back into things, but have a 1/350 enterprise that's almost 10 yrs old, the flight deck has been repainted 4 times(maybe have it right this time) tried to do the towr with PE, for me it turned out well, and started putting the PE railing on the ship, but gave up again!! joking with my daughters, i say that my grandkids can finish it.

Did an Accademy M-36 Jackson tank destroyer that soaked up about 400 hrs over 9 mo.s. Lots of PE., lathe turned main gun and Delco generators, piles of scratch and resin parts.
Last build was an Italeri M-7 Priest with Dragon main gun and Accademy suspension parts. Also lots of PE, resin and scratch parts. Took about 500 hrs over a year time period.
I call the amount of time put into detailing "degrees of stupidity" and my stupidity lately goes right through the roof!
Longest I take is 2 weeks. Everyday 2 and half hr session except weekend which will goes for 8hrs.
But I am soon going into 1/450 IJN Akagi which may broke my current record.
bbrowniii Pffft..... ask me when I'm done!!
Ditto... I'll let y'all know..
I've been building a 1/24 scale tornado chase vehicle for seven years plus.

Revell 1/32 B24 Libarator 2 months no wonder I'm half blind had to get new glasses after that. Aceses5
10 months, with only one week off (waiting for parts), revell 1/48 visible B-17. Even with all of the available PE sets, I ended up scratchbuilding a lot of parts.
