I usually work on one kit at a time. I find that time is wasted when I need to wait for paint or filler to dry. Also, sometimes I lose interest in the model that I am working on. I then stop modeling for a while. I am now working on two models: Monogram 1/48 scale B-24J and Monogram 1/48 scale B-58 Hustler. I am much more productive working on two kits at a time. I can switch between models when paint is drying or when I get bored with one of the kits. Does any one work on more that two kits at a time?
I usually have 3 or 4 going at various stages.
I do the same thing I always have at least 2 going at the same time . I was like you I would get bored just building one.
I have mulltiple projects ongoing.
I think I have 6-7 going at the moment.
I usually have 2-4 going…depending on the size of the build. I also like to mix up the builds. For example, last year, at one point I had a plane, armor kit, Sci-Fi and a sub going at the same time. Never got bored. LOL!
That’s a good idea. I should probably include a car kit in with the airplanes.
1 major 2 or 3 secondary
I usually have 3-4 going at the same time in various stages. I like to have more than one going since I might have to wait the the paint or glue to dry on one.
How do you keep the parts from so many kits from getting mixed up?
I work on one at a time. I have tried having several kits of the go but i always just focus on one. As i mostly build diorama’s, i get around the issues of paint drying by useing that time to do figures and other parts of the dio.
I did build 4 at once last year but they were all part of the same project so i bult each kit to a certain point then the next and painted them all together.
Just one last January two right now, two within 90 days hereon rest of year - hopefully.
Next year the Special Hobby Piaggio P.108 kits come forefront, resin fuselage Cunardmodel P.108T could take two months to build. These will be my largest planned Regia Aeronautica Italia (RAI) aircraft builds, meantime looking for other large and small RAI kits to build or come on market, likely will cost more than all the gold in Fort Knox.
Hello!
Looks like the norm here… My goal is to build two at a time, but somehow I wound up building four projects (one is a two kit project!). Luckily three of those projects have good prospect of being done soon, so I’ll move closer to ma target number.
Good luck with your modelling projects and have a nice day

One main kit at a time, with a secondary kit started as the first is winding up. Whenever I’m waiting on something to dry on the major kit, I’ll just work ahead on the next subassembly. But when I get to the point that there are no more things to work ahead on, and a lot of time is spent waiting on paint or whatever, then I’ll start the next kit. When the main kit is finished, the secondary becomes the next primary.
I find that if I try to build more than that, then I’ll usually lose interest in one (or more) and it’ll just end up on the unfinished shelf.
Only one kit at a time,a couple of times I had to order stuff,so I started another while I waited.But usually,just one.
I almost always have 2 to 4 kits going at the same time, usually in various stages.
I usually have multiple on the go to take advantage of efficiencies painting similar camp . So I’ll do several British or German tanks at the same time and also to have something to work on when paint is drying or glue. IT seemed really slow though though. When working on four things it took a long time before they were done so it seemed like I was making no progress until within a day or two I finished them all up. It was satisfying adding four new models to the display case over a couple of days. I wasn’t very organized though so I spent quite a bit of time figurines out what should be next because I was doing different weathering for each one. This time I’m doing just one at a time and I’ll see how that feels.
I have never worked on more than one kit at a time. My TBI is a factor to this.
Your friend, Toshi
Just one at a time. I never feel in a hurry to finish something. Taking my time is part of the relaxation of building a model.
I refuse to start start a new one until I finish the one I’m working on, I do maybe 4 a year so no hurry.
