What do you plan to build in near future?

[thedarkmaster]

I find it best not to write it down as as soon as i do it becomes the kiss of death for that model 

[JayBee]

Things, and other things. 

[Gondor]

I plan to build like Jaybee but I will be building SomeThings and Some Other Things 

Gondor

[PR19_Kit]

What a coincidence, I'm going to be building A Few Things Some Other Things as well? We'll have our own Theme Build running...........  

[NARSES2]

I'll join as I'll be building bits and bobs and this and that

Same with me mate

Obviously with everything that's going-on in the Hunter-Gatherer family modelling is a VERY low priority for this year, however I do have plans - oh yes   - for when things settle down.

Project One - Some Gnats
New Airfix kits - simply painted differently - RSAF as a lead-in for their Hunters (yes they did have them in the real world, but only briefly), in the same scheme as their Strikemasters. Possibly a Japanese one if I can find some suitably sized unit markings - alternatively I could swipe the RNZAF decals from the reissued Airfix Strikemaster and do a 'local' one.

Project Two - Rafale's
My favourite of the 5th gen' fighters, and a great value kit by RoG. Two seater and single seaters planned. Not giving anything away in regard to colours and markings in case it all goes-to-poo, but you may be entertained... maybe  . One will be in the colours of a European nation, the other will not  .

Project Three A - RAAF F-5F
Remember when the RAAF trialled all those low-vis camo schemes on their Mirages in the late eighties... What if they'd trialled them on their F-5's instead then adopted one of them for their current 'fighter-of-choice'...

...which leads to:
Project Three B - RAAF Eurofighter
Now this will be a l-o-n-g way down the list, but I have plans for either the two-seater that I bought at Telford for very few pounds or the single-seater that's been hogging the stash since it first came-out. These plans also include a loadout of realistic, 'contemporary' weapons, but perhaps not what you may expect !!

Finally, and even further down the line:
Project Four - The inevitable FAA F-18F
C'mon dont tell me you haven't thought about it too   - But TBH giving such a 'grey' plane the * * W O W * * factor may be difficult, hence I'm giving this one a lot of thought...

...any help would be welcomed.

Forgot to add into my 'plans' reply from earlier:

Project Five - Big Brown Tank
Take one set of Bison decals for Israeli AFV's, one old Heller Leopard 1A5 and a couple of bottles brown & grey acrylic paints... I've even thunk-up a back-story for this one !!

I've thought of using my HP Victor and merging with a C-69 Connie. Then I could use the spare Spey engines from my stash and build a five engined SS Nimrod or six engined beasty.

[The Wooksta!]

If and when I ever shake the Spitfire bug, there's a Sea Meteor I want to do, probably with an FR nose and an unusual scheme.  Plus a Lancastrian with Merlin 85s that got abandoned some time back is high on the list.

Plus all the hangar queens, especially the Tempests.

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

A Sea Meteor in an 'unusual scheme'... Hmmm... Korean War maybe ??, or Suez ??

Ian

[The Wooksta!]

Not really unusual in that sense of the word.  It's actually quite standard, but not all on one machine, if you see what I mean.  Think patchwork quilt. 

If I had the resin to do the cockpit bits, I may be tempted to make a start on it.

Finally, and even further down the line:
Project Four - The inevitable FAA F-18F

With the WWI anniversary coming up, maybe a Royal Naval Air Service special scheme?  The RN tend to be low key with their special schemes, so a few stripes & colouful markings from a personal scheme over the standard grey, full colour roundels and full length rudder stripes?

[Radish]

Lots of steampunk stuff....just made a Steam-powered Gloster Gladiator sesquiplane for zero-launched from a steam-driven Sherman. British, of course.

Then....lots of other things....
