planned builds for 2011

[Gondor]

Perhaps I should post a picture of half my modelling room.........

Seriously that would take a while to build that little lot !!!

Currently building and intend to finish

1/72 Fw 190 A-10
1/72 Fw 190 F-8/R14 Production variant
1/144 VC10 variant
1/72 F-16 Israeli versions.... yes I have enough to do both single and two seat versions from each Peace Marble deal... so I intend to at least start some of the nine aircraft involved
1/72 Israeli kitbash
1/72 Tornado kitbash
1/72 Fw 190 kitbash
1/72 Lightning whiff

possibly more or less depending on real life and other such stuff

Well halfway through the year and only halfway through about half of the listed builds. I have actually finished one build which was not even on the list !

Oh well !!! still only roughly half way through the year so you never know, I may actually manage to get some results from this list.

I'm having to simplify tremendously due to increasing real life demands on Ye Olde Decreasinge EnerGy Budget:

a)   Drop from 1/48 to 1/72 to reduce build time/effort.
b)   Include the twins since they're now old enough

Daddy/kids Ki-15/A5M/Ki-27 Spat build
Alternative Hawker Sea Hawk prototype
Alternative Canberra  
Porco Rosso variants/alternatives such as an Aichi Paul or Seiran,  Willow, Laura, Walrus, Sunderland  all looking as though George Barris, Boyd Coddington, or the like got their hands on things.   Anything 1/72 that landed on water or should have been able to, 1918-1955.
Alternative F7U Cutlasses.

Absolutely open completion expectations.

basically , anything  

2nd shoulder op is due in Nov , so aiming to build at least 2 whiffs before Nov.

Still haven't received CMK razor saw blades from Hannants ....

I'm ONLY building Spitfires this year, the project being The Alternate Spitfire - every mark, from Supermarine 224 through the Spitfire 1 to Seafire FR47, including the Spiteful and Seafang, and ALL of them are being whiffed.  Some are more difficult than others to find alternates and then there's the tricky subject of the sub-marks - do I try to do them all or just a few as representative?  I've gone for the latter.  Once it's all done, I'll be writing a book around them.

Well, you know what they say about good intentions......!!

Anyway, my INTENTIONS were as  follows

Avro Vulcan B3 - (now completed)

B-70 Valkyrie with GTD-21 drone
MR-135 Maritime Patrol Aircraft ( using the Airfix E-3D Sentry. The longer fuselage means I can fit a bomb bay!!)
BAC Hyperion- supersonic long range recon aircraft. Based on Concorde. Work started. (In case you are wondering, according to Greek mythology, Hyperion was the Sun God. His name (in english) means - "watcher from above").
Westland/Douglas AD-1 Firedrake. - licence built Westland Wyvern replacement for the Douglas Skyraider
BAE/McDonnell F-4 Phantom III FSW (Forward Swept Wing)
Airbus/Boeing A-380 Samson military transport - the replacement for the C-5B Galaxy

Parcel in post now and there's some extra resin bits which may help with one of the Lancasters.  I'll see if I can find a few extras.  Can't see a shortened Lancaster working though.
