On my bench: Academy 1/35 UH-60L Black Hawk
This Italeri F-22 is fighting me aal the way, the fit is as poor as it gets, either that or I can not build models...
I have come to the realization that I have very limited time and kits like these just waist it and drives my nuts.
SO, I will work on it between other kits, but will not really go to any great lengths to make it nice, just get it done.
I will however concentrate on kits that are a pleasure to build, afterall it is supose to be fun ;-)

Thuens, I totally get where you are coming from. I too have to build the nice kits and feel good about it while I take my time here and there to work on the garbage. But, this allows us to to truly model and make those ugly kits look pretty good in the end. I would not like this hobby if I worked on those type of builds non stop. It would make me nuts.

On the bench:
A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!
2024 Kits on deck / in process / completed
14 / 5 / 2
Some of the 100+ decals that come with this baby. I'll need a therapy after this . But they go on well. What a difference from few decals on tanks to this
Bob: She turned out great!!!
Theuns: I know what you mean. Still she's looking good!
CN: Yeah, the decals make a big difference!

castelnuovo, I always feel great when I finally start laying out decals. It makes it all worth while. Your kit is looking quite nice and really starting to pop.
I have had a seriuos health scare this past week, going in for surgery tomorrow and just decided that life is literlally to short to waist on things that iritate me :-)
Theuns: Ack, hope everything is ok now!
Will know after the surgery and tests ...
Sure it will be OK, but just secided that waisting time is no longer part of my "regime" ;-)
I couldn't agree more with that philosophy, life is indeed, too short. I hope everything is alright; please keep us up to date. Best wishes.

LOL then you'll go nuts with the Academy 1/48 F4B. It has over 400 decals and stencils!
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Hi Brandon,
would like to join the GB with Revell's AH1S Cobra in USFS colours. Not planning to start right away, but I am testing Google Pics out as my hosting site after the PB snafu.
CN, the Super Dog is looking great.
Bob, the Intruder was looking good until it got PB'd
Lostagain, you are welcome to jump right in here. I look forward to seeing this come together. I really like the scheme you've chosen. This will look very cool.
After some health issues, I decided that models that iritate me WRT bad fit, filling and sanding ect get re- boxed and I start somthing new.....life is to short to be fighting with models LOL
I started a 1/72 Heller Allouette 3. the model is fairly basic, the only real chalange is to get the 3 piece glazig to fit the cabin, there are seams to be joined that on the full size is only 1.5" wide at the door frames, so carefull glue application is called for.
I kinda like the Allo 3, whan I was a combat flight medic I did some casevac in it. Although it is not fast (maybe 80-100 kts) and small, the visability in the cabin is second to none :-)
LA: Looks cool, I love that paint scheme!
Theuns: I hope you're doing better now. I know what you mean, I've been stuck on some stuff recently. I keep telling myself I need to finish it up before I start something else but instead of motivating me instead I just don't build anything...
Well, I was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks back, but seems they got it all cut out of me, I just need to do more CT scans to confrm all clean now.
Lucky for me it is a very treatable and curable one, so I am happy about that but the costs of medical care in South Africa is madness. I had to fork out about a month's salary to get it all done (have no medical insurance, just un-affordable) but could not wait for the state health system, so all model related and other non esintial expences are out for a while lol
I hear you.
Here is my allo 3

Here it is with glazing on, you can see the poor fit. Will be interesting to fill and sand without stuffing up the clear bits.
Engine was a biy bare, so I added some copper wire and sprue to make it more busy.

Hope they got it all out Theuns, hate to have you go though all that again.
Cool looking model, the French built some pretty choppers. Nice work on the engine there, guess you kinda need to detail it since it's right up on top there.
Thuens, that's gonna be a pretty neat looking chopper and I can't say that I've ever seen blue styrene before.
Well, lets call this one done...
Stencil decals everywhere How many can you count?
Wowzers, that turned out really really nice. Well done, Sir. I'll add your shot of choice to the front page.
Lovely job on that Castel, real beaut.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Be well, Theuns!
