I know that for me no matter what I’m currently working on there is always that next big project around the corner, which I’ll get to as soon as soon as I finish my latest creation.
For me I will get to work on my 1/48 P-51B for the Mustang Ranch Group Build as soon as I finish the Spitfire Mk.VIII I’m working on.
It’s a toss up right now. I’ve got about 150 to choose from! I’m eyeing that 1/48 F-16C Night Falcon that’s been in my stash for years. It’ll be my first ever 1/48 kit. I’m also thinking of a 1/72 U-2R. [:)]
Next project??? I’d just like to get a couple of the 1/2 dozen or so I’ve got in various stages of construction finished (If I do start another project, it’ll be either the Roden 1/72 Siemans Schukert D III w/PE set or the Revell 1/32 BF 110 C4/B)
Amen qmiester. I’m so involved with the one i’ve got going now, it’ll be another 6 months or so before i even come close to finishing it. Can’t really think that far ahead - but i’ve got a Tamiya F-51 that i started a while back that i need to finish, so that may be my answer.
For me it’s either an Academy P-47D or Tamiya F4U-1 ‘birdcage’ Corsair. Or maybe even an Academy 1/400 Titanic. I’ll see how I feel when I finish my Beaufighter and my A-36 Apache for the mustang ranch GB. I’ve also gotta get something organised for the US Navy GB sooner or later.
Now let me see, if you mean the very next project that will be started, then I will have to say the MH-60G Pave Hawk 1/35 from Academy, hence the GB starts on September 1st, if you mean what project will be finished next, then I’m in doubt, there is still the Mad Fokker Day project on in October and meanwhile my M113 Zelda is getting closer to be finished as well [:D], oh almost forgot, I’m currently working on the 1/72 Strip Down Fokker Dr1 from Eduard as well, that shouldn’t take too long either.
Wish I can finish the other 20 plus projects before starting another one. The other day the mail brought in the RF-4B kit and I may start into that one. I too have the 1/32nd Revell ME-110G kit, of course the decals I got from EagleCals were for the earlier E-1 thru C-4 versions which ticked me off a little.
My one true major project when I can find the time and space, would be the 1/35th Acurate Armor U-boat and Quay set, it’s an awesome kit.
My next project to start would be either my 1/72 scale He112 or my 1/72 KI36 hopefully by the end of September. Won’t be real soon as I have 4 builds going now that I really need to finish.
I’m currently got several kits going at this time. What I’m going for is a CVW-5/Kitty Hawk Display that includes one
1/72 F-18C VFA-195 Dambuster,
1/72 F-18C VFA-192 Golden Dragons
1/72 EA-6B VAQ-136 Guantlets
1/72 S-3B VS-21 Redtails
1/72 SH-60 HS-14 Chargers w/Flying papa decals
1/72 F-14 VF-102 Diamondbacks
and 1/700 CV-63 Kitty Hawk w/ Fujimi & Skywave planes, Flagship Models SuperCarrier set. Also want to do a E-2C Hawkeye from VAW-115 but haven’t got a kit or decals going yet. I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to display these kits together when done. But I still got alot of time, currently I have all of the kits lined up kind of like in an assembly line on my workbench at various stages of completion, mostly unpainted though.
RIght now my next project is a Spitfire IXe, but seeing that I am at collage, I really can’t do anything untill winter break. [sigh] But which one of my roughly ten kits will be next might depend on the group build situation come December.
If you will convienently look to the pic in my signature, you will see the hairbrained sceme I have in mind. Right now two Revell Germany 1:72 Ju 290 kits and a single Me 328 kit (PM) are en route to my house. I plan to cut off half of each wing (one wing on each), make a new center section, glue those together, and put the Me 328 on top of the starboard fuselage. I also plan to put eight tiny motors inside the nallaces, so the props will spin with the flick of a switch. (Hats off to Swanny for giving me the idea.) Then, maybe later, I’ll load up the underwing racks with three (or four) Reichenberg IVs, piloted V-1 Buzz bombs.
All on a budget (now) of about $20. Can I do it? The link can take you to the full story. (All currently 17 pages of it.)
Right now I am close to completing an HH-65A for my dad, when I am done I plan on starting my A-1H Skyraider for the Naval Aviation GB. In the mail is a OS2U Kingfisher I got off Ebay that I am doing just for me… and had my eye on that Tamiya Zero for a good kit to play with…
Right now, I have a P-51D (Hasegawa), P-39N (Eduard), Me 262 (Trimaster), and B-29 (Monogram) “in the works.”
My next ones will likely be:
Hasegawa Hawker Bubbletop Typhoon w/Jaguar detail set/Aeromaster decals
Hasegawa Ar 234B w/Verlinden detail set
Hasegawa B6N2 “Jill” w/Eduard PE
Hasegawa J2M3 “Jack” w/Eduard PE & Aeromaster decals
