What builds are on your bench?

Post by **ArabJazzie** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 4:55 pm

Hi all,
Thought it was about time i admitted to whats on the bench! No photos thanks to the main computers broke, but i have realized that thanks to my poor attention span at times i have something like 37 in progress!!!

Some have been put to the side for a few years but the following is what im concentrating on finishing, all 1/72.
Airfix Red Arrows Hawk T1, dual build with my son
Airfix Spitfire XIc, dual build with one of my daughters
Esci Mirage F.1CR
Italeri Tornado GR
Fujimi Phantom FGR2
High backed Spitfire XIV, A kitbash between a PM XIX fuselage and a set of Airfix Vb wings.

My Hawk and the Phantom should be finished today and i just need to find codes and serials for the Spitfire XIV.
Arabest,
Geoff.
PS, Anyone brave enough to start a stash thread?

At the moment I've got a 1/48 Revell Apache, which is an absolute blumming nightmare and I've just got started on my 1/48 Revell B-17.

So did such a airframe fly with any RAF Sqns and if so are there any decal sets out I could use?

How is this progressing?
There WAS an F6A, owned by BAe I believe, which had the Avon 200 (FGA9 power plant) plus brake shute housing but F6 airframe otherwise. Colour scheme was red/white, date c1974. They serviced it alongside our FGA9s in the hangar at Wittering and I was asked to do the engine side as they were not qualified. Can't remember the serial though - well it was 37 years ago! I think I've got all the Revell kits so if there's any parts you need I'm sure I can help.

What's on my bench? well everything in the stack really.
First up will be the 1/144 F14 for the US Navy comp followed by a Wessex for the helicopter comp.
Then it's anybody's guess out of a Spitfire Vb, Hurricane II, Venom, Bf109 and 38 Hunters - might have to buy some more of those...
