I have a Tamiya 1:32 F-14A Tomcat :clap: to build which I managed to pick up for the right price! I anticipate it will take a year or so to build at my speed!

Must admit, can't wait to start it after staring at them (and more so the price tag) in Beaties models, Birmingham when I was younger!

Just need to remember not to rush it!

Well into my 1/48 F15c (posted seat etc in WIP)

Enjoying it, just finished the engine thingy and going to paint today and then glue it in the hole at the back of the pointy grey bit. Getting to know all the technical jargon now :thumb:

Merry christmas all :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Canon 5D Mk4 plus long lenses, and lots of hope!

F-16CJ - If it is anything like the 32nd scale kit you're in for a treat!

i have so many more kits to build but these are the ones that are in the cupboard taking up space, so looks like the f-16s a front runner

Mark, the "hawk-man" Maples.

I have a 48th one to do soon for the magazine, should be good!

I'm also torn between two modesl for the GB coming up.

1/32 Tornado - Will be a GR1, wrap around camo, flaps, slats, resin cockpit, photo etch; the works

or 1/32 F/A-18C Hornet - Desert Storm (unsure of the decals) but will have resin cockit, burner cans and wheel bays

not sure which but either will be pushing the 3 month time limit!

I know it is the Italeri T1/a model, not sure what markings but I am tempted to do a two tone camoflague variant from the 80's

Also just bought the AirData book on the Hawk, Strike Eagle and Tornado yesterday so I am hoping they are going to be good references

Heller 1/72 NATO AWACS :O :D
I knew this was going to happen. This could have made me a few quid but :roll: but I like it so its mine :D
I will be getting some `help` from SWMBO on this one :D

It was going to be the 1/48 A-10 but it looks a pig to put together :( I also have a Valkyrie but I have just gone off it for some reason :S

I should not even be building the AWACS, I cant justify the cost of the HobbyBoss A-10 at my current skill level :( :lol:
I do like the HobbyBoss kits though, especially the two seater :thumb:

I will get round to my £4.50, Chinese knock off A-10 eventually :D
