Without a doubt the one I finally finished today. I finally got the nerve to look at the Minicraft 1/350 Titanic that fell off the entertainment center less than an hour after finishing. I repaired damage as best as I could, but it's ugly. Both masts have been broke in several places, P/E all bent up, some P/E missing (crane hooks, ladders, etc) I drilled holes in base and hull and used deck screws to mount together (s-o-b won't fall now!). Wife is happy it's done, I did build for her. But I think it looks like hell.

I have a Pioneer 2 1/72 FW-154 that I started 10+ years ago. I got off to a strong start but when it came time to put the fusalage and wings together, it just wasn't looking right! I lost heart, I boxed it up and quit building for many years. I guess I blamed that kit for my burn out. For some strange reason I keep it close by and look through the contents every once in awhile.Confused [%-)]

Had to be the Airfix (if I remember correctly) 1/72 Short (on quality) Sunderland. I finished it and taught a friend to shoot a pellet gun with the Short hanging from a tree. Its life as a recognizable plane was short. Aside from that it was the Lindberg 1/400 scale HMS Hood. It shared the fate of the original. I sealed it up and blew it in half with a .22 at about 50 yards and it still occupies the bottom of a lake in rural Virginia. There were others that never got far enough to qualify as "projects"Disapprove [V]

My father bought me the conversion kit for a 1/48 He111Z from KL Productions. the resin center wing from KL was beautifula s was the smaller resin parts. The problem was that I had to use the Monogram He 111. The aftermarket stuff fit better then the kit supplied parts it was a struggle from beginning to end. Finished it but didn't like it so I took apart the center wing and after market stuff and threw out the kits. Might try again soon because it looked really cool.
