Tis a good question my friend.  

I guess there are two that are currently in the stash that I kind of get lost when I get to thinking about them.  Niether will be a surprise to anyone that has known me for any length of time.

 

I have a 1/32 Hasegawa P-40E.  This kit is one that I really want to dive into.  I have several hundred photos from many many sources documenting everything from the frame to some minute details.  I have drawings and manuals that I get lost in when I read them.  

I have the visible 1/48 B-17G.  In the same boat as with the P-40E, I have literally hundreds of photos, drawings, schematics, diagrams, etc.  All of which deserve justice in such a build.  

 

Both of these deserve to have all the detail shown and all the parts working.  I doubt I am up to the working parts but I am working my way up to the full detail showing.  These two are top of the list.

The GIANT Monogram B-36 Peacemaker, has I have fond memories of watching my dad build that kit when I was a kid.  He was not a model builder per say, but he flew in them when he was in the Air Force.

Right now it's the Tamiya 1/32 Mossie obviously. Just too busy right now to get into such an involved build.

Hi-Tigerman ;

   I do like your avatar . I love those beautiful big Striped Kitties . Now the question was a good one . I am eyeing an Airfix kit of a Paddle-Wheel steam engine designed and built by a fellow named MAUDSLEY in 1827 .

    Now they list no scale , but after examining the kit I am going to say it's either 1/32 or 1/24 . Lots of parts and very well molded .Stash was forgotten when I saw this one in Squadron's catalogue ! T.B.

   P.S.       As far as figuring the scale they give no particulars of the actual size of the engine or the wheel it drives .

1:72 ROG Type VII (Late) U-boat.
I'm just waiting for a good excuse, and money for the PE, to dive (no pun intended) into that baby.  Stick out tongue

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

Aircraft:

1/24 Bagged AIRFIX:  BF 109e; Ju 87 B; P-51D 

I have been slowly acquiring aftermarket for the Bf 109E in the form of Squadron Vac form canopies and brass gun barrels ; will be looking for a source of instruments and seat belts this month.

Unfortunately, I will need to make stencils as those items never seem to have been offered for the German aircraft.

armour:

1/25 armour on hold until I am able to make metal tracks for the kits.

1/72 scale Airfix C-47 Skytrain kit. I plan on building it as Whiskey Seven. First, I've got a bunch of AM/PE parts I need to get before building it.

In no particular order:

1.  1/144 Revell C-17 Globemaster

2. 1/72 Hasegawa E-2C Hawkeye 6-bladed props

3.  1/72 Hasegawa AH-64D

and you may find this strange ---

4. A Kitech DC-10 which I plan to convert to a KC-10.

If I could somehow pull this small box from behind the stash Ill begin work with earnest.

I have a number of subjects that I would like to add at least one of to the completed pile. As I mentioned in the other thread, I would like to add an early war German build in pz Grey or the two tone scheme. But at the top of the list is an He 219. I have all 4 Dragon 72nd kits plus the Revell 32nd, but I think I will start small and am hoping to get one built later this year.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

 

On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3

What stash kit will you be most excited to build?
Posted by tigerman on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 1:53 AM

A friend in the armor forum suggested I post here as well to get the most responses. I imagine that most every response will be different which is cool. It shows the many different subjects that exist in the modeling world. Saying that....I have my eye on my Dragon T-34 and Tamiya Matilda as subjects that have been lacking in my completed builds. I'm mostly a German armor builder, but like all armor, and those are subjects that are sorely missing from my shelves.

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