Well i managed to achieve my aim and got the 219 built. So next on my list has to be the Monogram 72nd B-52. I have been wanting to do this for as long as i can remember. I even started one once but when i had to put my stuff in storage it got wrecked, so going to have another go. Unbofrtuanly, i am suffering from the same issue as eric, display space, or lack there of. I have now had to start boxing some up and storing them in the shed. So no idea what i would do with a 52.

PJ, would love to see that Trump Stuka.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

the Stuka is simple awesome. It has  a ton of details including a full engine And pe.  I picked it up on sale not too long ago.

That is on my to do list.

All of them once I get my portable airbrush spray booth. I haven't resumed finishing my P-47 Thunderbolt nor started any others this past 2 summers. Life has taken a lot of my free time away from building.

So, which stash kit is screaming at you to build it next?

 

They're all screaming at me to build them! They keep me up at night! I have to wear earplugs just to get some rest! Big Smile

I alreday have the Hasegawa kit, otherwise i would have snapped one of these Trump kits up. Sounds like a real good one.

I want to finish a diorama I started, however, it requires modifying a whole lot of figures and some water, neither r of which I've ever done so I need to start working on my skills for both of those.

I now have so many, I don't know where to start. But, I would like to pull out at least one of my 1/350 battleships and get it started.

My retirement project when ever I get around to it, will be the Accurate Armor 1/35th U-boat and quay set. Others in the stash that cries out 'Build Me' are a couple of the Trumpeter's 1/32 Intruders and the USS Arizona.

I don't really have a single kit screaming at me. But I'm going to finish all the half built ones. I'd like to get 10 done by spring. Once fishing season starts modeling time dwindles considerably

I have a AFV Scimitar ready for paint and a Tamiya Challenger under construction.  I want to start (and finish by September) a Tamiya Land Rover 7 ambulance.  That is ambitious as I can plan for the next year.

Ahhhhh.  The retirement kit.  In my mind, that's a different animal than the one I most want to start in the stash.  My retirement kit is the Model Shipways 1:64 Niagara - a beautiful wood sailing ship kit.  Never done one...always wanted to.  And yes - it is in my stash patiently waiting.  There's a few years yet...

Revell 1990 Mustang LX.

Painted "Strato Blue" and marked as a USAF chase car. I'm going to email Scalefinishes for the correct paint. I have already sourced the USAF decals and appropriate Whelen strobe lightbar.

Ummmmm good.

Here are the two that represent where this is all going. My father brought us to Annette Island USCG air station in 1964. Spent most of my life, 35 years anyway, in SE Alaska. My father was an airdale (mechanic) with the USCG. I grew up running around the insides of these Albatross’ and Coastal Ellis Grumman Goose. My wife’s uncle owned an air taxi service flying the Grumman Goose, among other AC.
On the far side of the bay behind the Goose was our home’s location. This was an early 60’s photo.
It has taken me six months of searching to find these. I wish to get a few years building under the belt before opening the lids on these.
Merry Christmas,

 

Bob

I bought an ymirsaurus model at Wonderfest a few years ago, and it's been burning a hole in my collection ever since. I stumbled across a large Roman temple for aquariums a while back, and decided to combine the two into a diorama. I have to finish a Cosmostrator for a friend and a '63 Vette for me, but after that, there's gonna be a Harryhausen party on my workbench.

I flew on one of NOAA's WP-3Cs for an article I was writing. I think it was Miss Piggy. Flew into Hurricane Isidore, but only for one pass because it was making landfall, which can spin up tornadoes. Would be interested in any pics you might have after you finish the build. I also have some photos of the plane if you need 'em.

My local hobby shop has had this "Takom" Mk.V 3-in-1 kit on the shelf for about six months now. About 2 weeks ago I bought it, though it's WAY over my head in terms of skill level right now. It's a great looking kit though, and I'm really looking forward to the day I can build it and do it justice. I've got a couple other sets here, including a Revell B-29, but I'm almost more dreading that one on account of how big it is when it's done.
