I have no current pics of some of these projects as I've never gotten around to doing any pic taking. Right now I'm looking at 4 projects to move into roll-out:

1. MV-22I (as mentioned Here), destined for Israeli SoCom in the mid-90s (similar to the MH-53J and MH-60K):



2. MV-22H (briefly mentioned Here, does it still count?   ), destined for the Israeli SOCOM in the mid-90s (think MC-130 Combat Talon):



3. J-14 'Flying Shark' (as mentioned Here, I cant find the original thread that has the pic (gee, it was 3+ years ago so I guess not!)

the image that inspired:



and the current status:



4. Vik-148 Matador UKAV (mentioned Here)



So, what quals?

I don't recall ever seeing that Matador before, but wow ! That' thing is a ten on the old 'coolness' scale ! Looking forward to seeing that one done. It look huge !

Say, didn't I send you some 1:48 Osprey parts for one (or more) of these about 3 years ago?

Funny how your first post date on the Matador thread was exactly one year ago, today!

Yes, I do believe these past posts of yours likely count.  The fact that your pics have been replaced by the dreaded Red X's isn't your fault.

Peachy! Now 4 kits, 7 months..... divide by 8.... Might can get one done before deadline

*update*

While on a business trip to home plate, I managed to 'rescue' the MV-22H from my stash & transport it back to my DM. As I intened to stay over term break 'cuz of work, I should be able to make progress (also help that my roomate is TDYing back to wherever he's from   )

We'll be counting on some new in-progress pics over the break, then?    

[Shasper]

Hopefully, depends on whether or not Tech kicks me out of the dorn for break & how my fingers doin.

[Captain Canada]

Well, if you'd quit picking your nose and staring at these half-started kits, your finger would be just fine.

Now get to work ! ( on the Osprey )

Look at what I dug-up during my "research" (ie wading thrue 10+ yrs of Aviation & Defense/Military related pubs) for my English paper:
