I bought software to catalogue my model kits and now I have an exact count...but I'm still not telling.
You math may be a little shakey but you make your point.
Come on guys, we all have some laying around. Post them here.
I started thinking about this the other day and looked at the ones on my "In Progress" shelf and found that I had:
1) P-40 Twin - Last worked on a week ago. Stopped to finish the current GB
2) Short Stirling - Not worked on since last month. Same reason
3) Robert L Scotts P-40K - 8 months. Don't really know why I didn't get back to this one.
4) F-102 - 8 Months. Lost the canopy
5) Fw-190D - 8 months. Got too busy with group builds and never got back to it.
6) B-17C - 4 Years. The masking for the second shade of silver began to get to me so I took a break and never returned.
7) Boeing 307 - 4 years. Lots of problems with this one but the reason I stopped was that as there were no longer panel lines on the wings, so I was going to pull the masking off the B-17C after it was painted and put it on the 307's wings.
Then Terry mentioned that he just picked up a Bristol Bulldog and I remembered one that I hadn't finished and I dug these out, all collecting dist for at least 6 to 8 years.
8 ) Bristol Bulldog - Ripped off some decals removing masking. Eventually bought another kit for the decals but never got back to it
9) Supermarine S6B - Managed to mix up the pontoon parts so all the attachment slots are on one and none on the other. I bought another one of these kits too, but never got back to it.
10 11) Fokker DVII and Nieuport 17 - I was going through a biplane faze back then and it ran it's course before these were completed.
Well hopefully now I've shamed myself into working on some of these old projects now that winter is approaching, but I'm not promising anything.
Maquette Boeing Model 307 I bought mail order years and years ago. May have been from Squadron or Discount Plastic Models, but I don't really remember which. You still see them come up on eBay every now and then but there are none there now. WARNING!! It's a very basic kit. with a VERY limited run fuselage, the most primitive limited run parts I have ever seen. The wings, engines, horizontal tail and landing gear are from the old Frog B-17E and are also pretty basic. I've bought Quick Boost engines for it and intend to use the extra cowlings from an early Academy B-17 kit, and may even change out the horizontal tail with some extra early style ones I have from another Academy B-17 kit.where did you get that Boeing Stratoliner??
. No.......... S***, look at this photo and put a date on when it was taken....
Later,
Mike
