You bet!
WIP

My current WIPs are: me-163S, me-163B, RWD.8, xp-47H, Toyota starter truck and a Kamov Helix. Four of those are in the painting and decalling stage so that just might be my bottleneck.




And I just started an KP Avia B.35. But I am not counting that one because.... Just because

Glad to see I’m not the only one!

So far on the bench or on the WIP shelf I have…

1/48 Airfix English Electric Lightning F.6 – assembled (been waiting paint for about two years)
1/72 Hasegawa Grumman F11F-1 Tiger – in Paint
1/72 Matchbox Grumman F89F-4 Panther – in fill/sand phase
1/72 Airfix A-7E Corsair – Just awaiting weapons to be painted
1/72 Airfix DH Mosquito – Assembled awaiting paint
1/144 Boeing 737 – in Paint
1/72 Airfix Curtis P-40 – Started
1/72 Airfix Gloster Gladiator – Started

…Which is far too many, I really need to just pick one and just finish it. The trouble is I’m not really happy with any of them. I think I’ve been a bit concerned with Quantity rather than Quality recently.

I also feel like starting another - and maybe ditching some onto the shelf of doom for a while. I quite fancy building my wife one of those new tool Airfix 1/48 Spitfires to go with the Tamiya Mustange I built her a few years ago - but really going to town on it and seeing just how well I can build it.

anyway - enough rambling from me...

Nice! There are not that overwhelming many 1/144 civil airplane projects/builds here on SPAM..
Would be nice to know, which airline, which 737 version etc ( = pics maybe??)
(or perhaps it will be a military 737 ??)

Ah - It started out being built as an airliner but then for some god knows reason why I decided to paint it in desert camo - like the old RAF Beverlys - with white uppers...

I don't have any pictures as yet but I can take some. I have some nice 'British Airtours' decals for it so I'm thinking of stripping the paint off it and starting again - It's my first airliner and it's been a bit of a learning curve.

Got the Revell 1/48 Rafale M out on the bench now to go with the others.

You're a lost cause.... Nice looking kit though, I really like the Rafale!

Well that makes 5 on the bench but three are really close to being done.

I just don't know how you guys do it with these multiple builds at one time. My bench would look like an explosion in a model factory if I did that and I've definitely got ADD because that would bug the crap out of me!!
After this 56 F-100 and my 37 Chevy restoration is out of the way I'm going to do another aircraft. I'm jonesing to build another bird.........soon!!

Oh it does annoy the crap out of me - I hate having multiple wips, but at present I can't seem to settle to anything
