I have 3 panzer IVs but they are very different:

i have similar sort of story

These four vans are all based on AMT's GMC A-Team kit.

When I was a younger modeler I used to do this---try to complete each mark or variant of a particular variant or hull. However, as I have continued in the hobby, simple space and time considerations have made that goal unrealistic. I tend to focus on the "major" variants--Panther D, A, G, one of each; I have an early and late Hummel. I have a few StuGs, but have only one "early" B, and won't bother with the A or C, nor will I bother doing an F or F8. Just too similar to other marks.

Generally after I do one variant of one kind, I'll move on. But I DO do occasional "repeats" of my favorites, like the Jagdtiger or--in muscle cars, I have two '71 Mustang Mach 1's and two '71 Road Runners.

Looking at my stash and completed models, my multiples fixation is WWII Jeeps.

Currently, I have two Tamiya Jeeps, one built out of box, and one converted to a British SAS desert jeep, using spare parts, figures jerry cans and weapons from a broken DML SAS jeep kit. I also have a DML SAS jeep kit that survived intact and was completed. Add to that two Italeri ambulance jeeps, one from about 20 years ago, and the other the D-day anniversary re-pop.

And finally, a Tamiya Ford GPA amphibious jeep, built out of box, for a total of six jeeps.

I think it's mostly because I don't have a lot of shelf space for kits, and at 1/35 scale, the jeeps have plenty of detail and are interesting to look at.

 

Outside of that, the other multiple model that sticks out is the Starship Enterprise kits in my stash. Two Enterprise Refit models in 1/1000 scale, two Original Series models in 1/1000 scale, and 1 big, honkin' 1/350 scale Refit kit.

 

Great question.

15 to 17 1/426 scale uss arizona models to be converted to the obb of ww2 plus the mississippi as a gunnery test ship after the war. 9 hulls are in the process of being modified or have been modified which includes new bow shape & torpedo bilges. superstructures of 1945 pennsylvania mostly done with superstructures for 1942 new mexico & 1945 nevada being worked on.

After reading some of these replys you can get to feel so inadequate.

I have a couple P-39s, F-15s, F-101B, Rf-101Cs, P-26s, M-113s, anf F-106s.   After that it's only singles.  How will I ever make up for this social disgrace? 

Starting to get back into the swing of the forums after some major life things, and saw this post. Heck yeah I have more then one of the same kit! The main reason, like just about everyone has mentioned...different variants. For example I have like 3 1/72 B-47's and U-2's. I work for the National Weather Service now so I plan on trying to do a bomber and NOAA version of the B-47 and the U-2, I'll try to do a NASA version! 2 B-17's, 2 B-24's, 2 B-29's, 4 F-111's, 2 AT-6's, the list goes on. Don't get me started on the 1/47 scale C-47! I've built 4 and have 3 still in the stash! I know some of the German plane builders have MANY kits of the 109 and 190's. They had a lot of variants you can build.....and they are just nice looking planes! :) Eagle90

well I need to add 6 Harriers and another F-16

Hmmm;

    I guess you coud say I have a lot ! 90 % of my stash is made up of certain types and versions .They all have one thing in common though .They are all Ships !

Multiple kits in my collection use to be F-4 Phantoms but lately they're been over taken by Intruders  1 ea Trumpeter A-6A and A-6E ditto with the Hobbyboss 1/48 kits. 2 Revell/Monogram A-6E's, EA-6A and Ea-6B and a couple of 1/72 A-6A's. 

Add to that an unexplain sudden interest in Skyhawks with the Trumpeter A-4E and A-4M and will probably be ordering another Trumpeter A-4E this weekend, even after scoring a great deal this morning at a local model club swap meet where I bought the 1/32 Hasegawa TA-4 (which I have been looking for for some time now) also included in the box was the Hasegawa 1/32 A-4E for $35. Then I have several of the Hasegawa 1/48 A-4's and a Classic Airframe TA-4 to round off that line of aircraft.

So why the heck am I'm wrapped up working on a ship kit right now

I'm still rather fresh in the hobby so I don't have quite a stash as some of you. I actually feel I'm one of those guys that wants to build something different each time. I can also see how one may build multiple of the same subject and/or kit because they really like that particular subject or enjoy the quality of the kit. I do however have two spitfires, but they are different scale and manufacturer. 1/32 ROG, and 1/72 Airfix. I can see myself building more Huey's though (my fav. heli from my fav. conflict in American history)

I have yet to build a Huey. Too many memories, I suspect.
