What do you plan to build in near future?

and a 12 inch to the foot scale raised vegetable bed for Madame Rheged.

Thinking you'd best get onto that before much else; got to keep ''Er Indoors' happy. 

My intentions are to build the kits in my stash first before buying anything new or secondhand. 

Yeah, I keep having good intentions like that, too - then I find some bargain or other, or something that "It would be criminal not to get at that price", and away I go again...

Got an idea to convert the Mach2 Martin SeaMaster into a landplane. That means buying another kit and I've seen one at a bargain price.
My first thought was to remove the V-shaped hull and scratch build a weapons bay or new lower fuselage. As I really want to build an airliner  and a bomber version. The main landing gear would be housed in the wings.

im recently in a WW2 building phase, having recently completed and restored a number of WW2 themed models.
this has got me thinking and im currently looking to revive an older plan, a 1/144 German escort carrier, with Bf109 (of Fw.190) and Ju-87 on board.

other projects planned are a number of Belgian Army vehicles and aircraft, including S-300 missile systems, hummers,...
there are also a number of civilian aircraft on the drawing board, and a Luft'46 Tu-95 dressed up as an AmerikaBomber.
as far as RAF themed models go, the F-104K and Vanguard AEW are also on the list, but im also looking at potential EF Typhoon alternatives, including F-15D, F-14A/D or F-16C's. there is also a F-117C in the planning.

I'm thinking along the lines of building an AWACS version of the 1/144 Boeing
737-800 not the E-7 Wedgetail but an alternative using some of the Contrails Models P-8A Poseidon parts, the remaining parts will be used on the Lindberg 1/96 Handley Page Victor.
The Trumpeter Ilyushin IL-78 Midas will be fitted with a rear radome as an alternative to the Beriev A-50.

I thought I saw something Soviet with the Rotodome on top of the fin? May be an option?

[Dingg]

I think the next one will be 1/72 Yatsenko I-28

I thought I saw something Soviet with the Rotodome on top of the fin? May be an option?

I've built a few of them myself. The trick is to use a metal pin to hold the rotodome in place.

[McColm]

Based on the Australian 1956 Bentley S1 Ute conversion, using the 1/24 Minicraft Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud as the donor kit.

I can't afford the 1/72 Hasegawa Lancaster ASR MK 3/GR3 kit with resin Mk 2A lifeboat . So I'll wait for the Freightdog conversion set. I hope that this includes the upper turret plug, Merlin 224 engines and propellers. There's an article on the Lifesaving Lancaster in  Scale Aircraft Modeling- Volume 28 Number 3.
Failing that the Vickers Warwick ASR Mk I would be an interesting build but the only kit available is the vacform Contrail in 1/72 scale.
Perhaps the Vickers Wellington, or Hadley Page Halifax would make suitable whiffs. Stirling's and the B-17 in Coastal Command colours.
The B-29 Washington is another whiff. Not forgetting the Avro Shackleton MR1 and MR2. I'm thinking the MR3. Maybe the ground clearance might be an issue. But if you use the Mk2 bomb bay doors and fit them the other way around then the problem is solved.
DC-3,to DC-6 are also on my list.
I had a crazy idea of fitting a pair of floats on a F-4 Phantom.
Not a whiff but adding skis to a 1/72 Antonov An-12 Cub.

well, with Belgium announcing ysterday that we are going to buy the F-35A, i got the Italeri kit (with the belgian roundels & finflash) out of the stash. no serials in the box, so im thinking of using the FX-** serials from a F-104G decal set.

other project i have planned in 1/72 are various Luft'46 and modern Soviet/Russian aircraft (Su-47, Su-57, Mig-37 and Mig-39).
i also recently got a pair of 1/72 S-300 missile- and radar trucks, and im planning on building those in Belgian Army colors.

[McColm]

Not a new whiff but a turbofan powered Airbus A400M, I think there is a 1/144 scale kit. If there is I could swap the engines over with the C-17.
Another non-whiff that never entered service is the Roden 1/144 C-141B AEW & C, using one of the S + M Model AWACS sets.
As Cammett/ Mastercaster isn't producing the BAe Nimrod AEW set anymore, a possible scratch build diorama exposing the radar without the nose cone.

[kerick]

Might be able to build the RF-23 whiff I've had in the back of my brain for a long time. Maybe I'll paint it black with red markings. Sort of an SR-71 look. Although now that I think of it SR-71 markings were white..... I think...... I blame the pain meds!

2019?  Well i'm hoping the Alt. Flight GB will mean I finally get my Rotodyne 2.0 built.  I have the required parts (Harrier, Beagle, Warthog...) but there is one major design issue which I think will have to be solved by the ancient technique of makei-tupa-syougo.
Also, big jobs.  I need to build some of the larger 1/72 aircraft kits I keep buying so I can free up space to buy more.

indeed, Revell has one, im building one right now (nearly completed), turbofan conversion should be easy

I need to build some of the larger 1/72 aircraft kits I keep buying so I can free up space to buy more.

Only problem with that, as I have discovered, is that whilst it frees space up in "the stash" it reduces space in the display area or the top of the wardrobe etc wherever you put finished kits. And then what do we do ? Why we buy another kit to fill that hole in "the stash" we have just made of course
