Excellent work!

Just an FYI, BiggTim of B&B resin (the former AMS line) has hard wing tip conversions for the Revell kits so you can back date them. Thierry, didn’t you have something to do with the design of them when Harold brought them out? Also a corrected nose as well.

That’s a good way to put it. I think my list would change to building my Fisher Panther, Cutlass and Skyraider.

I’ve never been busier in my life since that day two years ago.

Wow. Serious skills there.

Let me ask you this question…. Of the top three, how long have they been in your stash and why have you NOT built it yet? I can honestly say I’ve put off a few because I wasn’t confident in my skill level when I acquired the kit. I personally feel in the past few years since retirement my skills have increased quite a bit. Of the three I listed, I’ve had two of them for 10 years or more. I just acquired the Cutlass in the last month or so.

Top three in what? Want to build next? Saving for a special time? Top three favorites? Most expensive? That’s a tough call category. I get a “special kit” and a year later a new shiny comes along to replace it. Let me see if I can figure out my top three…. Tamiya F4-EJ with Wolfpack KAI conversion Fisher Cutlass (new shiny) A-7D with Zacto correction I have a list on my phone of “must builds” I’ve slowly been checking off. In addition to the above that list includes a few other Fishers. Panther, USAF fat face Skyraider, Tamiya F-16 Thunderbird, F4-E Thunderbird, Blue Angels bearcats and A-4. The A-4 is on the SOD currently. I should restart that project. And I still haven’t placed a priority on any of my big heavies in the stash. B-17’s, 25’s, Lanc, 24. I am building the He 111 currently. I had no idea of its size until I opened the box.

Apparently a 1/32 A-20 J/K. Looking like that one fell off the face of the planet.

I’ll second the MRP system. I used it on the bottom and front end of this build.

I was averaging about 8-9 a year of mixed scales and genre after retirement up until this year. This year will be a lower number. I’m about a week’s work away from completing #3 for the year. The wife has had a few medical issues since late January that has required either me chauffeuring her around town to Dr’s appointments or tending to her needs. Cancer is some real crap that just flat out changes your lives. And now that she’s getting better she’s loading me down with spring projects outside that keeps me away from the bench. Typical yard work, she found a play set for the grand kids I had to go disassemble, bring home and set up, car service, pulling the boat out of the lake tomorrow and doing the 300 hour service on the motor, spring cleaning the boat (tritoon) and the son wants to prep the wave runner. And as soon as that’s done, I have about three days of pressure washing that needs to be done. I’m going on strike as soon as the pressure washing is completed. I want better working conditions.

Well….its about time! I wonder if that means the slow boat is on the way? Anxiously awaiting to order my copy!

You should drunk post more often. What could go wrong?

Oh no! Someone’s getting older! Cheers buddy!

I will add that I have made the decision to quit duplicates of kits I already have until I build what I want to duplicate that’s in the stash. I’ve passed up some great deals I’ve seen posted lately. I’m not getting any younger.
