Modelling plans for 2017?

[Stuart]

So does anyone have any modelling plans/aims for 2017 or will you just be going with the flow?

Personally I'm aiming to build a lot more British Jets to build up my RAF collection. So far I have a gaggle of EE Lightnings, a Phantom, a few Tornados, a Jaguar, a Hunter, a few Harriers, some Jet Provosts and a Hawk - oh and a Gnat. I also have a few Fleet Air Arm types - a Sea Vixen and a Sea Venom. These are all 1/72 and mainly old tool Airfix, Matchbox and FROG.

I might also try and build something in 1/48, and try and crack painting USN Gull Grey over white - as my efforts thus far have not been great.

I also really should do a review build on something.

What about you guys?

Cheers

Stuart

Well, I have two review builds to get started on. First though, I want to complete my last five small scale vehicles so I can get to my latest milestone. I'm almost there and should be done in another week or so. After that, I can start on the review builds.

Among my pwn personal goals, I have at least 17 shelf queens I want to get finished. I don't expect to complete all of them There are several in particular I want to get done though:

1) 1/72 scale Space Shuttle with Boosters
2) C-118 cargo aircraft
3) B-377 airliner
4) Russian carrier Baku
5) Presidents Liner
6) VW Bus
7) Monkeemobile
8) Mach 5
9) F-8 Crusader
10) RA-5C Vigilante
11) F/A-18 Hornet.

All of these are about halfway to the finish line now. I just need to put some serious effort into these. Hopefully this year I'll get these done. After that, it's open season.

First thing is finishing the two builds I have started (Komet and MU-2J). Then I think I want do some simple builds (although they often grow out of hand). First will probably be a C-47, with a very personal story. But more on that later.

I have about four or five in the stash I want to get done by April. Right now that looks kind of out in the void, though.

I've got one important goal I really need to do - the 1/32 scale P-51 Mustang Review Build.
The other, a P-47 Thunderbolt "Bubbletop" I've put off for some time now. Once those get done, I'm hoping to start a few more.

• Finishing AMK MiG-31 (80% done)
• Finishing Flyhawk Ft-17 (90% done)
• Making this a Star Wars year by building some gorgeous Bandai stuff (AT-ST, Y-Wing, Figures...)

I wish...

But looking back I have not finalised anything since March-2016, 1/72 Airfix Mustang P-51D...

Still struggling with my non-existing hobby room... To build goes, the problem is paintwork...

So my plan for 2017.. To finalise at least one build...

Should be possible...

I do have a queue,I'm currently working on a Dragon Jagdpanther G2,when this is done my next ones are

Tamiya 1/48 Tomcat
Bronco 1/35 DAK Stug III

After that I'm not sure what way my thoughts will go.

I also plan to go to Mosquitocon in Wayne NJ in April
The AMPS Nationals in Danbury Conn in April
and perhaps PennConn in Carlisle Pa in Sept

Well....I've gone down to the cave and sat at the bench some. Opened several kits, hoping the bug would jump out. No joy. . . yet. Heading down in a bit.

I want to finish the Atlantic portion of my "one of each two letter tail code" subset of models in 2017. Then in 2018 I want to finish the Pacific half of it.

I plan to do a couple of trainers, a USAF Phantom, and a Mustang in between my "on-topic models" in this time as well.
