Most of us tend to dabble in our little corners. Modern jets. WWII armor. For me, at least for the foreseeable future, that corner is WWII aircraft. My first model, more than 20 years ago now, was a snap-tite P-51D. I've built Corsairs and Jugs and 109s...but I was thinking today, and was absolutely stupefied not by what I've built, but by what I haven't built.
Here's, off the top of my head, a list of totally blindingly obvious WWII aircraft that I've never made:
- SBD Dauntless (well, until yesterday)
- F6F Hellcat
- TBF Avenger
- Any Japanese aircraft
- Any Soviet aircraft (rectifying that at this moment)
- Fw 190
- Hawker Hurricane
- Ju-87
- Bf-110
I know there are probably a dozen or more others I've never touched, but these are such prominent, famous aircraft that I'm kind of dumbstruck I've never managed to get to them.
Anybody else got any gaping blindspots?
