Try to sort your loft stash....

I'm on the verge of giving up after 3 days.

On the PLUS side I've broken up lots for odd bits....AND I've found some Imperial Roman AF stuff from aeons ago.

On the downside, I have more than most model shops by a factor of many!! :o

3 days? You did well there! Mrs PR19 and I gave up after just one day!  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

3 days? is that all?

took me at least 2 weeks to "stock check" my stash. 

The only error on my stash list spread sheet was one Airfix C-130 I had forgotten to book in when I got it.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I am trying to work out how you can miss an Airfix C-130....... they are usually in a fairly large cardboard box  :blink:

from what OGL insinuated in the thread on it, he has a TARDIS full of kits cunningly stacked tetris fashon one plane ( evan if resonably sized) isnt a big miss to be honest.

I've been on with mine for the past three weeks, sorting kits out and putting them in the big Revell boxes I get from work, found a few I forgot I had including a Novo Gipsy Moth, Miles Master and Airspeed Oxford.  :banghead: ;D :thumbsup:

I have several, but is it 3 or 5? Or 7? or 2? No idea. I should have kept track of them over the years, and now, my memeory isn't that great. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find them eventually if I need to look for them.

Last time I did it, took me a couple of days on and off. Got that "warm glow" a couple of times when I found kits that I'd forgotten I had  ;D Also found kits which definately should have been forgotten  :banghead:  :wacko:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I had few surprises, but there's always room for more.

I WAS going to get rid of the Airfix(Heller) Connie....but decided....NAH, it'll be good in either Irish Maritime Recon role or even RAF??
Same with the Italeri (ESCI) Tu-22 .....found I've got 2 of them. WAS going to dispose, but then RAF recon and anti-flash white beckons. Or perhaps East German? Finnish? French?? Argentine??

AND I'm still adding more.....

The Tu-22 would look good in a silver finish with French roundels and their colourful squadron markings on the tail.  ;D

TU-22 looks good from any angle AND, in ANY finish I reckon!! :lol: I have 2 more left - one of which has that huge air to surface missile slung under it ( forget which type!) Go for it!!! :lol:
