My 1/48 B-1B Lancer. It's a nice kit, I think I have got the skill to make it but..
1) where do I put it? it's huge!!!
2) to make matters worse, I have got it in my head that I would like make a B-1A prototype (the one in the desert camo, with the ECM spine). I don't have enough data to start. Especially the wing root and jet intakes are a bit of a black spot!

Mine are the Trumpeteer 1/32 scale A-10 N/AW, 1/35 scale Hind-E, and Dragon 1/35 scale Leopold. These kits are so huge with so many parts......sheeeesh.

Monogram B-29 since it is the biggest model I have right now. And it is going to take alot of sanding to get it right.

All of the new ones, at least until I get the ones I've started done first...

That's my biggest issue, just trying to complete kits before I start new ones. I've made myself stop buying kits* until some of these are completed.

*That doesn't mean I've stopped buying AM PE and resin for my kits, or decals, tools, paint, dio supplies...I could go on and on...

Ok, I confess...a 1/12 scale Williams FW-14B. I'm a little intimidated by spraying gloss yellow, white, and blue on the same model...

The chassis is done, as is the engine and cockpit tub...suspension, etc.

Actually, I have one more to add........

The simply awful Monogram 1/9th scale Jaguar XK-E Coupe..........I have to get a watchmakers lathe before I can start - there's just too much to do - basically most of the car will have to be scratchbuilt or rebuilt - along with new spoked wheels with stainless steel spokes.......THAT'S going to be interesting.
But it'll be spectacular.............

My Italleri 1/72 scale C-47. Having a difficult masking the sucker and there's a lot of little windows. Plus I want to do different ID #s on the side and am having a hard time finding the right ones in the scale that I want.

I love the smell of super glue in the morning. Smells like...victory.

well, after I finish the one on my workbench now, regretfully ALL of them will have to be put off until after I move, get unpacked and set up again!

My ICM T-35. With some 769 parts, not including the PE, which I don't have yet. The lack of PE is what is holding up the project at the moment.

I've had the 1/48th C-130 inhabiting the basement stack of kits for over 15 years now- just so big! Where does it go when I'm done besides the garage? Maybe I can find someone that is looking to pay me big dollars to build one for them. That way I get the enjoyment of building it without the wife making the usual "dust catcher" comments. The flip side is that I do want to do it justice, and there's the part of me that wants to make it into an EC-130Q TACAMO bird to honor those guys that flew the long missions so us boomer guys could get our familygrams out on patrol.

Tamiya Enzo Ferrari, and the Tamiya Porsche Carrera.....for some reason cars are a lot more intimidating for me, because they are normally immaculate.

The AMT Cutaway Millenium Falcon. I know It's going to take a lot of detailing and since my wife bought it for me , well, I don't want too screw it up.

For me its the CA's SM 79.I haven't done any of their kits before and I know they are not the easiest kits to work with. Plus I don't want to mess up a 60 dollar limited run kit.

Same exact situation here, the kit looks so beautiful and it was so expensive I just can't do it justice yet

Haven't got the kits but I can dream right? LOL.

Have the kits, still waiting to build. Big Smile [:D]

I have several, and the FAUN is one of them. The others are Tamiya's Dragon Wagon and the Trumpeter SA-2 w/transporter. These kits are so nice, I don't want to bugger them up in any way...so I'm working on my skills in the mean time.
