Whats on your work bench?

Just kinda a curiousity question…
Whats on your workbench being worked on or not being worked on?
Right now I have:
1/48th Messershmitt BF 109E(Starfix…dont ask never heard of em but I picked the kit up at a garage sale for 25 or 50 cents)
1/72nd P-51 MustangIII RAF(Revell)
1/24th 1987 Thunderbird Nascar kit (Mono…we like to chrome all the engine parts…gram)
1/35 German Infantrymen about 12(Tamiya…of course)
I think Ive bitten off more than I can chew…especially for returning to the hobby…but I work on each one a lil at a time and one millenium they’ll be done!

So what are you building?

  1. Academy 1/48 P-38E w/lightings in drab dress. Started as a quickie - turned into a longie - uhg.
  2. Czech Master Resin 1/72 Sikorsky S-38 flying boat. Main hull complete other than some pin striping, very complex kit.
  3. Massie Models Resin 1/48 Fiat RS.14. Have been waiting for paint to arrive which it did yesterday - very cool kit.
  4. Revell 1/48 B-17F being converted to B-17E Coastal Command with Paragon conversion set. Toughest thing so far is getting a crew in it.

I have a DML/Verlinden Me 262A-1a (just adding finishing touches), Hasegawa P-47D 28 w/Teknics cockpit, & DML Ta 152 w/Eduard P.E. All 1/48. Here’s the Ta 152 cockpit, complete with dust ! (I know you armor modelers LIKE dust, but not in an airplane !)

lol, Ive had some of those starfix kits before. Found them at a dollar store. The 109 made a good wreck in the weeds. My current projects are 1. Alex the Vampire bust 2. 2 of king Hobbies figures (scantily clad warrior chics) 3. Hasegawa 1/72 B-25J 4. Trumpeters 1/350 B-25 10 pack, just for an airbase scene. and I just finished up the Robyn Hood , so I’ll have pics up later on today.
