Plan 52

Wow, one a week?

This will be interesting to watch!

Best of luck to you!

Still, it's also a good inspiration to the rest of us. I must get away from the idiot box and back into the hobby room. I've too many partially-built models, and my idea list keeps growing as well.

That is just my problem!

"Biggles" Spitfire I (from "Biggles Defends The Desert") almost done.

Sand/Dark Green wraparound, silver spinner plus underneath of cowling, dirty (of course) and showing evidence of operational use. I still have to make the base and title/text though.

So with January well on the way to completion, by Wednesday I'll have completed:

Biggles Spitfire (Pegasus Hobbies Snap Together kit 1/48th)
Mirage IIIE...modified to Roman Spectre configuration (Italeri 1/48th)

Rhodesian F-86F (HobbyBoss 1/72nd)
Fokker D.VII.VII.V...postwar designation Fokker D-7.75...parasol-winged Fokker D.VII (Revell 1/48th)

Might finish a "hippy Dalek" too.

F4U-1D Japanese...might be completed by Jan 31st. HobbyBoss 1/72nd
F4U-1D USN...."Tiger Squadron" HobbyBoss 1/72nd

Can someone with a camera please go visit Terry. Would love to see some of these before I try to find them in Display pics.

Still debating a Whiffies category for 2009 of best What If Model with no picture proof but think Terry would have all 5 in that one

The Roman Specter, Rhodesian F-86 have appeared on the Huddersfield thread, EVENTS section.

Primed is a 1/48th Saab Draken.
Ready for paint is a 1/72nd Gloster Gladiator, 1/48th SE5A and 1/48th V2 rocket.
Ready for decals is, at last, the Japanese F4U-1D.
I've also been working on a He 70 (to be Luftwaffe "hack"), a 2-seat Livonian reconaissance aircraft (from a Testors racer) and am thinking about a 1/72nd Italeri Caproni 311 converted to a passenger airliner (for Biggles) and a Revell Walrus (for Biggles and modified).

I lost rack a little bit due to a bout of heavy cold and cough, but SWMBO goes away today for a few days, so no decorating cleaning, etc., and the kids are doing the gardening.
So this week I could/should finish:

Civilianised Anson I
Beech C-45
Hawker Typhoon (Monogram 1/48th)
Hurricane IIc
Manta Ray fighter

and begin a C-47, Wellington X and possibly a Bf-109F.

All 1/72nd except the Tiffie.
