And so...my plans for 2012 (with a bit of 2011)

[raafif]

... just nothing finished apart from a da Vinci tank in January.

William in oz

post pics of it here as it IS a "whiff"    ( the Royal Engineers got their 1:1 scale kit working but didn't finish it )


Once I get into the museum storage to measure it, I might do a smaller-scale model model of the WW1 DeMole Tank 

[pyro-manic]

Well, I'm trying to finish the twenty-something half-complete models I have kicking around before I start anything new, but I have a couple of mecha to build in the first half of the year, for group builds. Other than that, it's whatever I get the urge to do, as usual. Maybe something big, like a heavy bomber, for a change.

Who'll be the first to whiff the A400M from Revell, and who'll be first with the Zwilling version?
By the way, is the triple fuselage one called the Trilling?

[Gondor]

Plans for 2012...... finnish a few started builds, Lancaster XL , F16-2 and a few others that I want to supprise people with plus loads of real world stuff I should get a move on with.

Early on in this thread Wooksta advised wisely that he made no lists.
Sensible words.
My ideas are overcrowding my brain, my plans are in disarray, my list grows ever long.....

And my diary is rapidly filling up with gigs, shows, parties....

[Spey_Phantom]

ok, here's my plans for 2012:

-1/72 Khemedi Spitfire & Mosquito
-1/72 Bordurian Sd.Kfz.234/2
-1/72 Blackburn Buccaneer S.2 (Royal Australian Navy, Aussierama GB)
-finishing My 1/144 aircraft carrier (HMS Courageous)
-P-51A Mustang (Luftwaffe, Iron Eagle III)
-various Luft46 aircraft
-1/72 Airbus A400M (Belgian AF)
-various 1/144 whiffs
-..........

the rest is some realworld models in various scales

got some more on the list,

-1/72 (and/or 1/48) Tiger moth "Thunderbird 6"
-1/144 Rafale C "Wallonian Air Force"
-1/144 Rafale C "RS06 solo display 2009"
-1/72 Bristol/BAe Blenheim 2000 (time warp TB)
-1/72 Angel Interceptor in Belgian Air Force markings (if i can get another kit)
-1/72 Hawker Demon (TinTin plane, from "Cigars of the Pharao")
-1/72 Arado E.555
-1/72 Khemedi Army & Flemish Army Crusader II tank
-1/76 Belgian Army Bristol Bloodhound SAM
-1/72 Syldavian T-34 tank + 1 secret modified T-34 (armourfast kits)
-1/144 Zombite fighter (from Thunderbirds episode "The Uninvited")

there will be more, but most would propably end up on the 2013 list

Sensible words.

Never said that.  Said I was sticking to The Plan, but it's large enough to ensure I don't have to do anything in any order.  Besides which, all of the marks are covered, so now I can just have fun.

The Plan only exists to keep track of everything, to remind me of schemes and what needs doing on any given airframe (props and canopies are always a last minute bugbear).  It isn't set in stone.

I'd still like to do a pair of Beaufighters, not to mention a Finnish Blenheim or two with engine changes.  The BMW 801 is probably too powerful but the Jumo 211 from the Ju 88 might be ideal.

Who'll be the first to whiff the A400M from Revell, and who'll be first with the Zwilling version?

Meh. To enlarge the A400M, I'd splice a section in between the fuselage halves, to make it (much) wider.

[albeback]

I was looking at my Revell Lancasters & had a vision of a lengthened, super long ranged 6 engined Lancaster Mk WH1F . Not sure if the normal u/c would support such a large beast so, I sort of considered using the 2 inboard engines from each kit to give 4 large single mainwheels. As I recall, this layout was actually intended for the Vickers Windsor?

Not only intended, they actually did it and it worked quite well. IIRC 'Winkle' Brown had to land one of them with only three of the legs working.

You idea sounds great, go for it. 

[MilitaryAircraft101]

One day I'll have to build these

Would the Six Engined vertion be anything like my Lancaster Mk XL that I am building and want to finish in a few months time?









Views of a test fit to see what it will roughly look like. Not sure about its length as the wings are far longer in telationship to the body than I expected 

Bit late now to change it though
