Hasegawa MH-47, Monogram B-52 (not likely soon), Revell A-5 Vigilante (for a work mate who flew one in Vietnam), Boeing X-32 JSF, Revell SR-71 all 1/72nd.

But work with my son on his airplanes are coming first. And most of these have been on the bench for years.

'Quite a few' in various stages of completion, but pushing to get my Israeli Spitfire IXc done for my nephew at the moment (converting the Airfix 1/72 kit).

Next up is an Fw 190A-8/U-1 conversion from the Revell 1/72 Fw 190A-8/R-11 kit. Using the MPM kit borrowed from a mate for the master, checking details against photographs and drawings from various sources.

I have several kits that I have not started as of yet:
1/48 Scale P-40C (Revell)
1/48 Scale Spitfire Mk. II (Revell)
1/72 Scale B-17C/D (Academy)
1/72 Scale F-117 (Kitech)
1/72 Scale B-1 (Kitech)
1/48 Scale X-1 (Revell)

I usually only put together 1/48, I tend to like those better, but the only B-17C/D variant I could locate was in 1/72 (I'll take what I can get.) The X-1, B-1, F-117 have all been started and I finished a 1/32 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt (a Revell kit) a few weeks ago while I was at college.
