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

Has anyone ever built a four engined C-160? It seems to me that this would be an interesting build as I could use the many varieties of the Lockheed Martin C-130 as a base. Yes the fuselage is wider than the C-130 and I'm not too sure if the fuselage could be lengthened.

I'm still determined to build an airliner version of the Airfix BAe Nimrod. I know from previous experience that the two wing fuel tanks can be created to the 4C wing.
The vertical tail fin seems to be a stumbling block unless it's scratch built. I have added cargo doors and extra windows using various paint masks.

You could always use one of these

Save a lot of scratch building/converting parts.

Yes, somebody on this forum did one in 1/144, using 2 kits they made a 4 engined lengthened fuselage C-160. Just cannot remember who it was or how long ago I seen it...

So just buy a Comet kit, Welsh Models has a few in both 1/144 and 1/72.

I'm just going to try to finish SOMETHING!  I have the Seahog in process, the RF-23 recon Black Widow in the background and a few other unfinished projects that were great ideas at the time.  Plus a stack of kits for "great ideas".  We'll see what happens.....

I'm sticking with reality this year, with one of De Havilland's finest. The Mosquito.  There's more than enough oddities and maybes with Highball and 618 sqn to keep me busy for quite a while.

I don't do plans anymore. I go strictly by lust. The only downside is a rather substantial need for shelf space in the non-finished section, but I'll live with that.

There speaks a Whiffing realist!

What a sensible chap!!!

One plan I do hope I can achieve is that you and I should be able to exchange New Year  greetings at the start of 2022

I'm just trying to get some finished! I've driven myself to the point of violence with a Matchbox Stranraer (of the Royal Scots Navy in 1938). The knitting process of the rigging has screwed everything up. It needs to be set aside before being destructively disassembled!

I have a P51D part built that was going to Royal Scots Airforce in 1945 but I found some emblems for the Icelandic Commonwealth (circa 900AD or so) and thought that would be fun with an Arctic camo, inspired by a recent SAM article on Coastal Command Arctic schemes - most of which were never used.

Finally and AEW Avenger, again RSAF or Navy as a supplement to the RAF Shacks operating from the leased airfield at RSAFB Kinloss....

Yeah, there is a theme.....

Thank you, I would much like that too.
