2004 modelling projects?

I have a variant of AMS - my skills aren't up to what I want the model to look like. I have some kits here that are 90-100% built-up that I should paint. These are: DML 1/700 "Alpha" class attack sub DML 1/700 HMS Trafalgar Tamiya 1/35 KV-1

There's also a DML 1/700 Yushio sub that I tried to paint but something went horribly wrong and it ended up with an odd texture when the paint dried, so I need to work on removing the original coat and try again.

I also have a Tamiya 1/35 M5A1 Stuart that I airbrushed (and turned out great), but need to add all those spare tank treads and tools, then put decals on.

Then there's a Tamiya 1/35 37mm AT gun. It's about 30% built. Hopefully, I'll get that all built and painted by year's end.

To finnish the kits i started in 2001 and 2

my god you are ambitious! My plans are to hopefully finish one model and maybe fiddle with the 30 or so I have started, that is unless I can't find the pieces after the boxes and bags fall out of the cabinet....

wish me luck..

Id like th finish the 5-6 that I already have in various stages of completion but.......

I'm sort of taking them one at a time these days. I started the 1/32 scale Trumpeter M-G-3 before the Christmas holidays sucked away lamost all my spart time but I hope tto finish it soon after the new year. I also want to do their P-40B and F4U-4 as well as the Hasegawa 1/32 Fw-190D with the Eagle Editions detail sets. I don't want to get more ambitious than that until I see how much progress I make on those ;~)

Actually finish some models.

I think this year I started around 3 or 4 new ones, finished 3 or 4 from previous yeras and got 3 or 4 near completion.

IF and thats a big IF I pull finger i cna actually finish another 2 or 3 before year end.

Finishing some of the old projects would be the major goal of the new year (some are 15 + years in the making) 1/24 Fw109A-3,D-9, 1/32 Ta152H, Fw190D-9, 1/48 Me262 (several), Ho299 (several) 1/72 He177. But there are some new things too. Several Trumpeter '109s would be first, including a '109Z, and some resin projects.

Whatever 1/48 planes get built as slammers and a couple of superdetailed tanks, not sure which though. Actually planned models are 1/350 ships, USS South Dakota in Ms22, USS Yorktown (CV-10) in Ms33/10a, USS Farenholt in Ms12mod, either USS Houston or Louisville, USS Arizona DKM Bismark.

I'm going to try getting the F-106 and F-86D (for 94th 1/48 series) done, maybe even get the F-86A (Lindberg/Mon bash) finished. Quite a bit of work left on it though.

Most of the well work for Mono 1/72 P-51B is done, so it should get done. That leaves the Italeri A and either Academy's or Tamiya's D/Ks for that set.

What I'd really like to do is the Mono 1/72 P6 and F4B OOB, detailed and converted to P1, F2 with the RareBits set I have. I just wish I could find another set of those conversions before I mess these up :-)

What will probably happen is I'll start way too many other things and get very few, if any, current projects finished.

This year I plan to cut the list of unfinished models greatly:

1/96 USS Constitution (2 years and still have not finished the hull) 1/400 USS Enterprise (3 years and the waterline has not been painted) 1/350 USS Bunker Hill (3 years and there is no paint, nor bridge nor...) 1/350 DKM Tirpitz (Waterline needs to be done) 1/110 HMS Bounty (Build and paint) 2x 1/72 Tiger I's (Build and paint) 1x 1/35 Tiger I (paint and build) 1x 1/35 Tiger II (paint and build) Flak 36 (paint) 1/144 Valkerie (paint and build)

Assuming that I can get a minute or two per day to work on them (not a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination!):

Finish Revell 1/32 F-15D-MLU/AM. (Speculative mid-life update of F-15D to attack capability.)

Finish Monogram 1/48 RF-101B.

Finish Testors/Fujimi 1/50 A-6A.

Finish AMT/Hasegawa/Testors/Fujimi 1/48 F-4EJ Kitbash.

Start more kits that I can't possibly finish this year.

i assume steve that some of the models that have been so long in the making aren't painted yet? are the 1/24 kits airfix?

me? 2004? well, for later in the year, a HP Victor B2 in 1/72 and a prototype Victor in 1/96. a few phantoms and a raid of the spares box for a 1/72 'what if' and i guess keeping up with the rest of the gang on r.m.s

trevor

for me it will be start 20 more kits until i finally finish the paint booth and finish some. really want to do the manchester conversion.

Well ok, let me think a minute. In 2001 it was the heller Victory. In 2002 it was the heller Victory. In 2003 I've been working on that damn heller Victory. In 2004 it's going to be the

I did not make my 12 kits in 03 goal, but did finish a masters degree, buy a house and pack/move.

For this year, my goal is to polish off many of these partial built kits so I'd like to finish 1 1/2 kits a month or 18 this yr.

I have a timeline of powered flight hanging from my classroom ceiling, to it, I'd like to add

1/72 Douglas world cruiser, 2x X-24s, F16 ccv

1/144 iss, mir

sci fi.. fine molds x wing needs decals and 'weathering', sf3d suits X 4

I'd like to finish in a manner worthy to take to amps, the Tamiya t55, DML sdkfz 250, and maybe Academy idf gun jeep? w figs???

If I get really ambitious I'll start to tackle the pile of resin-conversions starstreak support vehicle and New Connection Sdkfz 251 Falke

For other shows shows Panda uh1d and Trumpeter's 1/35th hind (when it's out)

just to get done Scorpion Desert storm Warrior #1 Merkava mk III Kugleblitz E-100 Land Rover

Future proj. Jagdpanther early panther g early w int type 90 w rollers flak maus?

Nothing like having big plans...

Check with me in Dec 04 and we'll see how I did.

Mike please remove "diespam" to reply

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

I have about a dozen kits that I've started but never finished. I'm slowly working on them to get them done. I have a number of older Hot Rods as well as some Space fighters. All in all enough to keep me going until I lose interest for awhile and come back to them later.

development

Complete at least a couple of kits started as far back as 1979.

Airfix SAAB Draken, Douglas XCG-17 glider from Airfix C-47, two Yak-11 conversions, Meikraft Long Midget Mustang, lots more.

Also want to convert some of the new Hongwell 1/72 diecast Jeeps and do at least one of the kits that have jumped out at me of late.

Well, after I completed a database of my kits, my wife said I can't buy any more until I complete at least 10 percent of what I have....that's 25 kits! I guess I'll be building at light speed! Jack "the 109 nut"

1. Accurate Miniatures P-51B (in progress).
2. Accurate Miniatures Yak-1 on skis, winter camoflage.
3. Accurate Miniatures Il-2, uncertain about paint scheme.
4. AMTech 1/48 P-40E, Flying Tiger if I can find a decal sheet.

After those, perhaps AM's B-25B...

Cheers,

David.
