My Build Ideas For 2007

[comrade harps]

For 2007...

MH-46D Spectral Hand (Indo China special ops Sea Kight with FLIR/LLLT/laser turret and extended nose from a Lynx) - underway! Could be Brazillian (as in the country).

F-86H - Sth Vietnam, USAF S-E Asian camo

Puma - something North African, nocturnal ops with digital grey/black scheme

Brewer - Bulgarian maybe, North African scheme

Lynx HMA.8 - Canadian, I think, vs Iran (yes, n not q), 1991 Gulf War

All 1:72nd and waiting to be done once the weather cools.

Lets see...this year:

no. 1: My CPL that come first and foremost

no. 2: Building a custom paintball marker for a close freind. At this point I'm thinking P-90...

no. 3: Build at least 1 Phoenix GB plane, probably my AU-1 USAF Corsair "Sock it to 'em!". And I think I'll also do my SAAF F-4...

no. 4: A Greek A-4 in either SEA or Ghost colours, in-flight posed in a dive with the airbrakes deployed. Mix load of rockets and bombs. Will most likely be an A-4E


Then what ever I have time and energy for which will mostly be playing more paintball...

Hmmm plans for 2007...

Well there's something horrible I plan to do to a really nice 1/72 F-15 for the Secret Santa GB and then there's the 1/72 vac F-84 I plan on building for the Falklands GB. I've also got plans to mangle a lovely 1/72 Airfix Hurricane for the Pets GB.

Beyond that, I'm not sure. I've got some projects that have been in planning for years. Goodness knows when I'll get around to them. More than likely I'll be building some of those vacs Leigh recently sent me. I've been itching for years to build a 1/72 P-35!

At least ten Spitfires for the Nationals
Already done two and a Corsair since Jan 1st

I do this exercise every single year and every single year I over-estimate by around 300% ! - So this year as we're going public I'll try to stick to the plan.... call it an exercise in self-discipline.

What If's
1:48 RoG Typhoon, Canadian (built ready for the paint shed)
1:48 Tamiya SHAR, JASDF (90% built and will follow the Tiffie into the paintshed in a coupla weeks)
1:48 Monogram F-20, either German (recce) or Norwegian (some basic construction done, cockpit sprayed a generic grey)
1:72 Italeri 'helicopter' Falkland/Malvinas GB (a 'real world' project that is 50% built, just needs finishing and painting)

Real Stuff
1:72 RoG H-34, Marineflieger (built, in undercoat. Because of the complex masking required this one will be a while before it's seen)
1:72 Academy OV-10, NATC (off to the paint shed this week with the Tiffie)
1:48 Tamiya, Bf109E, ZG2 this and the Hellcat below are being built for an article for our good friend Neil Robinson, hopefully to appear in a magazine near you later this year, but probably next along with the BoB Spitfire I finished in January last year, (built and part painted.... not too much left to do on this one, just one of those projects that you lose interest in).
1:48 Hasegawa F6F, US Navy reserve (lots of prep work already done - all control surfaces cut away and resultant gaps boxed in with plastic card. Replacement resin cowling, Eduard photo etch, etc.
