Several projects in progress, but have dedicated most of my recent efforts to the old 1/48 Allyn / Micro Scale A2D Skyshark. Kit is a desk top model- bare bones (no landing gear, cockpit, panel lines or control detail of any kind) but I've made lots of progress, have cut open & scratched full gear bays, pirated parts from a Monogram Skyraider for cockpit & main gear, scratched the tail wheel bay, strut, & wheel. Opened up the cockpit area & canopy. This one is really honing my scratch building & kit bashing skills. Using the Ginter book as reference.

The re-re-release of the MPC Space 1999 eagle. Trying to make it a bit more accurate.

It's not easy.

I think at this point in time, a better question might be what's NOT on the bench.

1/144 Revell Space Shuttle. First model I've put together since I was probably 12. Pretty rough plastic when compared to a few of the Airfix 1/72 aircraft kits I have waiting.

Oh man, let me see,

Currently on the bench,

1/350 replica of the Musashi wreck,

1/48 Monogram P-51D

1/32 Hasegawa P-51D

Next up, not necessarily in order,

1/24 Revel Foker Dr1

1/25 AMT 67 Shelby

1/48 Hasegawa Macchi 202

1/350 Arizona

1/200 Hasegawa 727

All's I gotta say is you are the man! I just don't know how some modelers do it with multiple builds and my hat goes off to you that can. I tried to build my 56 F-100 and my Bf109G-6 at the same time and it just aint happenin' for me. I just can't seem to get my work to flow well with more than one on my bench. I've seen guys on here and other sites that have in the upwards of 8 projects going on at one time.Surprise

I WISH I only had one build going! I have a problem of having TOO MANY going at the same time. Makes it hard for me to get anything finished. Right now, my goal is to finish what I've already started before starting another kit.............. BWAAHH HAH HAH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I crack me up sometimes! Propeller

That will never happen, no matter how many times I say it, and promise it to myself.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Shooter, look forward to seeing what you do with that 88 when you build it. Are you getting the A-1 or A-4 kit.

Trying to wrap up on the Monogram A-6 Intruder for the USMC GB, just need to finish off on the ordnance and do some weathering. Make a base for the Pegasus Martian war machine for the Sci Fi GB.

Finish off a few GK figure sets. Pick out an A-4 kit from the stash for next month Skyhawk GB over at ARC.  I just ordered the Revell 1/32 JU-88 from Model Expo and might start on that when it comes in.

And I'm staring at 20 kits just in my hobby room and wondering if I'm ever going to get to them and all the kits in the other room?

 Your image is loading...

 On the bench: So many hanger queens.

I have now started on an old Airfix P-61

I don't see you as a PAO kinda guy.

LOL, no, I ain't. But I was given it, and a 48th Monograme P-61, as a gift from a good friend on here a while back. I do like the look of the 61, so I felt it would be nice to do something a bit different.

But I don't know what's stranger, me having a PAO kit or me having a 1/48th kit. If the world stops spinning, I hope I don't get the blame.
