Mine is to find the time to start building and writing my alt. history again.  :banghead:

Got a Halifax kit that I plan on using to create a 'Super 'Fax' for the Bombing of Japan to go alongside my half built anti-shipping Halifax with the nose of a B-25H - yes it's a 'Fax with a 75mm gun  :wacko:.

I'm afraid I've been.bitten by the Spitfire bug ....... !!!!!!!!  I now have 4 with conversion plans for them all ...   And not a 1/35 scale tank in sight .......

................................and then it occurred to me,the Revell Airbus A-400 might look nice with 4 x CFM -56 turbofans instead of those big whirly things? And then, it also occurred to me to try & see if it would be possible to put two of the now redundant whirly things on to a C-130? :rolleyes: Mind you, those props are HUGE! Engines ABOVE the wing? :rolleyes: No! No! Must keep of the whisky!! Giving me delusions! :lol:

There was one JUST like that on the SIG stand at Telford last year, didn't one of our American guests bring it along?
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! :)

I'm not the first Whiffer to  come up with the B-52 flying boat idea. It will be an interesting build .

The Wooksta!

Trying to get some enthusiasm to finish the many Spitfires that stalled for Telford would be a start.  Life seems to be getting in the way.

2014: If I get a job down south & don't have to come back to this rock;


  • Buy an airbrush or two (SA & DA)
  • Finish my HMBLT
  • Finish the M41 & T-62 builds I have started up here
  • Through the Apocalypse in Daddy's Sidecar dio (inspired by the Abney Park song To the Apocalypse in Daddy's Sidecar)
  • May get a start on slowly putting together my Czech Panzer collection

If I can get those done... Well, there's a HUGE list of To Do's to chose from. ;D
