What If ideas/goals for the upcoming year, what are YOUR plans?

[The Wooksta!]

Possibly.

At least 6 Spitfires have been thrown into the Disposals box.

Finish things!!!!!!'
That's my plan......

I'd like to have another crack at the Boeing Washington AEW & C which looks very similar to the Chinese KJ-1 based on the B-29/Tu-4.
I think by using the Rolls-Royce Tynes taken from the Heller C-160 kits and the spare rotodome from the HS.748 AEW 3D printed model, the stand will be scratch built with spare parts added. I also intend to build an ASW version in the 'what if the Avro Shackleton hadn't been built ' theme.

[Pressure]

Now I've completed the laundryverse cycle (still need to post the other two here) I am looking at my options.

Likely:
* finish the remaining civilian figures and the special ops prints from Ali express and store for future usage

Maybe:
* Tamiya Japanese defence forces emergency response vehicle, but that would need a Yokai model which might be hard to find in 1/35
* Vietnam era Sherman but in full apocalypse now style psychedelic paint
* German steam punk rocket cars

Unlikely:
* kitbash a 1/35 helicopter into a small space ship. Way beyond my capabilities atm.
* Hookland-based diorama, maybe with a stone circle and a 1950s UFO observation team

I have nothing in the stash other than the figures so my options are wide.

Definitely going to build something that resembles the Shorts Hythe. My version of the Lockheed C-130 amphibious seaplane and the Breguet Atlantic 2A. Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion AEW & C.

Apart from a range of kitbashed 1/24 Austin FX4 based vehicles RW and whiffs, I would love to build my version of the Convair B-36G.
A V/STOL version of the BAC Lightning, there's an experimental Russian aircraft that could be donated for parts but its not a Yak.

As posted in my thread, if the first build is successful a run of two "fast-forwarded" B-36 Peacemakers. "What if they'd made it in time for WWII service?"

My goal was not to have any goals in the first place.......!
On the workbench now, Roden 1/144 C-133A Cargomaster & A A Models 1/144 C-141A both of which will be in RAF Sand/Mid Stone / Black finish. I have a pair of 1/144 A A models An -22 kits, one of which will also be an RAF machine with the second painted in that lovely Swedish "fields and meadows" camouflage. I've also done the preliminary surgery on a Matchbox 1/72 Victor K.2 which will be built in a tail less "C" wing configuration.

Oh thanks, I'll buy up some Tamiya masking tape shares.

So a Bull Market in Tamiya tape at least 

[kerick]

The goal is still to finish stuff! So stop giving me good ideas all the time!

Also to weed out some kits I'll never build and sell them at my club's next show if not sooner.

No need to bother. I never use the Tamiya stuff!

I saw something about the B-58 serving for a long time and finished in Gunship Grey.........
