What do you want to build in 2009?

[Rex]

first goal is to finish building a 1/1 scale model shop building so I can actually go back to building models again (we found out that SWMBO is allergic to modeling fumes)

then, I'd like to get my "one of each USN tail code" collection finished off,,,only have 6 of those to do to complete that,,,,,,then I can start on the "one from each fleet carrier" part,,,on my way to "one of each USN squadron deployed"

so, it boils down to I'd like to finish (in 1/72) 1 F-11, 1 F-3, and 4 A-4's,,,,and start on the F-4's and F-14's

I have two lists actually, for next year. One is unfinished projects and the second is new projects I want to start.

List One

1. 1/72 MiG-31/F/A-19 WHIF project

2. 1/72 MiG-21K naval WHIF project

3. 1/600ish Night Runner sci-fi starship

List Two

1. 1/72 Su-34 in Iranian markings WHIF

2. 1/72 F-14 in Iranian markings w/ Russian weapons WHIF

3. 1/72 F-15 ACTIVE

4. 1/72 MiG-35 massive conversion

5. 1/72 Su-27 Flanker US Navy markings

6. 1/72 Su-30MKA USAF 65th Aggressor Squadron markings, Nellis AFB

That's what I've got so far, but I'm sure I'll add more.

[drhornii]

First 6 months on 2009, anything cargo plane for the "Trash Hauler" GB

1/144 C-123 (Amodel)

1/144 C-17A (ROG)

1/144 C-5 Galaxy (Testors etc....)

other stuff

Finish 1/48 HH-65C (Trumpeter)

Something Lufthansa (need another model for work lobby, I work at Lufthansa Technik in Tulsa)

Maybe a 1/32 kit to clear out room in stash, can be F-16C (Acad or Tamiya), A-7D, TBF/M Avenger, P-38, P-40, FW190.....

Too many choices.

[stsok9]

My list:

1/35 Tamiya Dragon Wagon

1/32 Academy F-16CJ Shaw

1/48 Revell F-15E SJ

1/48 Revell F-15E LN

1/48 Hasegawa F-16A IDF

1/72 Italeri B-52H

1/72 Realspace Titan II ICBM (Does it count/just started it??)

probably it for 2009?

[muswp1]

I'd like to get at least four kits done, starting with the 1/72 F-4E in 57th FIS markings. First I have to finish the two that are almost done first.

[Steve Filak]

Let's see:

• 1/48 Academy Raptor
  
• Couple of 1/48 F-15Cs
  
• Maybe a 1/48 Tomcat or two
  
• Hasegawa F-16B
  
• RoG EF-2000
  

The reality is that I'll probably only finish a kit or two, but those are the ones that I'd like to build.

[UKPonchoMan]

Err... the plan is as follows (all 1/72nd scale):-

Academy F-22A

KMC C-22B (727)

AMT/ERTL XB-70

MPM X-15A-2

Hasegawa X-29

Hasegawa F-20

A lot of work but should be fun.

Also trying to throw in some aerobatic stuff with at least one T Bird and I have the decals for the Minute Man F-16

1/144 Hobbycraft RF-84 (finish it for the Gone but not Forgotten GB)

And I'd like to build more 1/72 stuff next year too.

Happy Modeling!

I'd actually like to get the "itch" to build again . . . Got so many projects that need to be finished but no modellin drive to run on.

Ves

[mhoupt]

I just want to finish ONE! I am getting close to finishing a 1/72 Super Hornet, shooting for the end of the year. Maybe move on to my Eduard 1/48 X-1 after that, which just needs fidley parts and a good paint scheme... but that has been sitting for oh, maybe six years.

[twhite80]

I think an

F-14A LANTIRN equipped bird with Fightertown VF-211 Decals

F-16A NSAWC Again Fightertown Decals

TA-4J NSAWC from Afterburner

RF-4C Nebraska

Finish the Mig-17C Fresco

[raptor22]

The reality is that I'll probably only finish a kit or two, but those are the ones that I'd like to build.

Yeah, I know EXACTLY what you mean.... *sigh.....

[Charlie Cheetah]

[B-1 Nut]

1/48 Hasegawa F-16D converted into an F-16I Sufa using CMK resin kit.

1/48 Academy Su-27UB in Begemot Russian Knights decals (when they finally get over here in the US).

1/35 MRC Kiowa Warrior with Floyd Werner resin update....already started....probably 40% complete

1/48 Tamiya F-117 with full CMK resin update.

1/48 Revell Eurofighter Typhoon straight out of the box except for some Two Bobs Italian decals.

That will probably do me for this year. If I can do more, I certainly will.

JED

[Spruemeister]

So many possibilities, so little time......

First, finish the F-101B for Cobrahistorian before he calls in favors and actually sends the National Guard to pick up their model and pummel me into the frozen tundra of Nebraska. Then:

A 1/32 Revell F-4J from 1974 for the agapemodels.com "Every Kit Has A Story" group build

Finish the Academy 1/48 T-33 Blue Angels

Continue work on Project Stratoliner

Probably a Heller 1/48 Mirage IV

Oooo, I know. I have a Testors 1/48 YF-12A with all the AMS I can handle in the pile. Maybe that.

Rediscover 1/72 scale

Here's one I'll bet you haven't seen- Ertl 1/25 International Harvester 1466 Farm Tractor

And since I see others giving Anagrand a try I'll play too. Anagrand 1/144 C-74 Globemaster

Give away some more kits, somehow.

Ok, that's way more than a year for me.

Rick L.

I laugh because that's all that I can see hanging around my workroom. I know there's more. LOT'S more. If I FINALLY finished all that were in the works....I'd clean out half my stash.

It's a sickness you know....

Well... Last year I have made my best "model":

And now I have no time for hobby, so in 2009 I simply want to build a kit. Just a kit. Any kit.

Hmm, Nice build but the weathering seems a bit overdone...
