What's on the bench ?

Maybe I should take my time to type.

Well - I have a long (or at least my wife says so) "waiting list" on my shelves, and each week comes another box ! So I try to do few projects at once, to make a free place on a shelf. So now I've just finished 1/48 Mc 202 Folgore (Hasegawa) and star with Ki 27 Nate (also 1/48 Hasegawa) and Piper L-4 Grasshoper (Academy). P-36 and P-400 will be next project ! Regards ! Aleksander

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with multiple kits on the go ! At the moment I am working on a 1/48 Tamiya USN Skyraider (just started) , a 1/72 USAF Delta Dart (nearly finished painting) and what I've referred to as a "long-termer" , a Hasagawa 1/48 USN F-14 Tomcat . I call it a long-termer because I've had all sorts of problems with it. But I'm glad to say that It's almost finished. It is now sat on my bench wearing VF-111 colours waiting for small exterior parts to be added and for it's carrier deck base to be completed. (If anyone out there has built this kit without too much fuss please let me know where I went wrong !)
I find 2 or 3 projects at a time works for me as my work takes up most of my time these days , so when I do get time off I try to make the most of it and get as much done as possible. I'm not working for the next two days-hmmm , plastic , paint ,glue
and etched brass. I'm gonna have me some fun !

Happy kitbashing everybody !

Tamiya's 1/48 Lancaster, and Ventura's 1/48 Kikka.

Well, Since I just got back from some fine of the finer spots in Southwest Asia, I have a 1/72 scale Hasegawa A-10 "Freedom War-Hog". I am finishing it for an A-10 pilot that works in a squadron I used to be in. the decals and art on the box are from the exact plane that he flew in the Gulf War. trying to figure out how to make a good diorama for it. Thinking of depicting it in a revetment. Some good models being worked on out there. Keep it coming.

I'am working on a DC-6B from my employer scale 1/72. Besides that I'am a propliner freak and worked on that old beast. So just for nostalgy I want one in my collection.

putting the finishing touches to Revell's 1/72 early prototype Eurofighter in BAe/RAF scheme, and working on the interior of Fujimi's 1/24 Renault Megane Coupe, wondering whether to (and how to!) add stuff like seatbelts and door openers :)

Revell 1/32 MIG-21MF 75% completed.

Just finishing up Tamiya's Mosquito....

Up next--

Tamiya's FW-190
Hasegawa's Val dive bomber
An I-16 Rata
Me-163

All 1:48 scale...

1/48 F-18C only thing going on right now

Revell Top fuel dragster, and next is ferrari f1 2000. I dont know how you guys do more than one at a time. I like to put all of my attention to one model at a time!

Two cars:
An 80% complete 69 Mustang Boss 429
A 30% Nascar Monte Carlo; Dale Earnhardt

One armor:
A 30% complete Tamiya M113, it has been there for 2 yrs now, I just can't find motivation to build armor. I am such a poor armor weatherer, and this one is for my dad, a Vietnam Vet so I want it to be perfect.

One aircraft:
A new Tamiya 1/72 Me-109 trop. It was my Valentines present. (I know, I know, you should be jealous)

Tamiya's Jeep Cherokee, which I'm converting to a tornado chase vehicle. I'm going to open up a couple of doors, remove the left 60% of the back seat and replace it with a table that will hold a computer, VCR and radio amplifier. In the cargo bay, I'm planning on adding cameras (both still and video), plus another video camera in the windshield. I would even like to put in a NASCAR-style roll cage. I've got the engine and chassis finished (built those assemblies more-or-less out of the box as a time-saver) and now I'm almost ready to start fooling with the interior. I've even got a second Cherokee kit for practice and experimentation--there's going to be a lot of cutting and scratchbuilding on this puppy!
