Paltry?

Thats twice as much as I have! Although mine are mostly 32nd scale kits!

I have a commission A-10 Thunderbolt to build after I clear a few models out. Just got to finish this f22 off! its doing my head in with the colours!

From looking at the photo of your stash.......which one? I count about 12 in your stash

And you will see the Tooms built. I just need more USAF/ USN and USMC ones.

Now you know you'll never make two - that Vulcan would look gorgeous fully re-worked in my collection

You're a lucky bloke

Ive finally taken the nimrod by the wings and decided to start my AEW3 conversion.

I will be doing it as either AEW.3 DB.1, XV286, RAF Waddington, 1980 or Nimrod AEW.3, XV263, RAF Waddington, 1985 I havnt quite decided yet. I have already removed the nose and tail in readiness for the resin conversion. The resin conversion also comes with a new tail and tail planes. I have got a few eduard sets for them (I have two rods to make) but on this one I will be only using the exterior set. The other one which will be a standard waddo rod will have the full works (I know you wont see the cockpit but its the part of building I enjoy the most).

Well into my 1/48 F15c (posted seat etc in WIP)

Enjoying it, just finished the engine thingy and going to paint today and then glue it in the hole at the back of the pointy grey bit. Getting to know all the technical jargon now

Merry christmas all

darn hell that was quick!

F-16CJ - If it is anything like the 32nd scale kit you're in for a treat!

markmarples · Post by **markmarples** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:28 am

i have so many more kits to build but these are the ones that are in the cupboard taking up space, so looks like the f-16s a front runner

markmarples · Post by **markmarples** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:30 am

13! and i have another 40 + kits now with 173 more to go

Post by **jamesv9820** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:34 am

Mark, the "hawk-man" Maples.

I have a 48th one to do soon for the magazine, should be good!

I'm also torn between two modesl for the GB coming up.

1/32 Tornado - Will be a GR1, wrap around camo, flaps, slats, resin cockpit, photo etch; the works

or 1/32 F/A-18C Hornet - Desert Storm (unsure of the decals) but will have resin cockit, burner cans and wheel bays

not sure which but either will be pushing the 3 month time limit!

which one? what markings?

Post by **jamesv9820** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:39 am

I know it is the Italeri T1/a model, not sure what markings but I am tempted to do a two tone camoflague variant from the 80's

Also just bought the AirData book on the Hawk, Strike Eagle and Tornado yesterday so I am hoping they are going to be good references

markmarples · Post by **markmarples** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:43 am

the airdata book for the hawk isnt that good there are better books out there, i have most of them! i have loads of piccys of the camo hawks, i have somthing else that may help, send me an email to (email addy removed) and i will send you a email
