Aircraft you swore you'd never build then later did (or will)


Recommended Posts

Aircraft I thought I'd never build... Transport's. The last couple of years I've been into transport's. Caribou, Constellation, DC-6, Ford tri-motor. Junkers-86, Ant-22, etc.

All will be built as military or "war situation" livery's. I say "will" as I haven't finished/started any yet. In time.

Go figure!

Mustangs. I used to think it was boring, then got drawn into a group build at the local IPMS chapter, and wound up doing 6. I found it to be an interesting, attractive aircraft with an amazing number of schemes.

Alvis 3.1

I've never had that much interest in the 'teen series' fighters, although I have dallied with 1/72 Tomcats and F-16s, and have 1/48 scale versions of F-15C and E and F-16CJs in the stash.

But for no apparent reason I feel a 1/32 F/A-18C and E calling out to me.

Although the pending F/A-18C in 1/48 from Kinetic and Revell 'E may reduce the size (and budget) footprint somewhat.

Never had the slightest interest before. Weird.

The Dewoitine 501.

I didn't so much swear I wouldn't build it, I just never paid any heed to French airframes much, or interwar designs at all. The Hi-Tech 1/48 kit showed up at the right price and with the right combination of materials. I needed some practice with resin and PE and a friend recommended I give the Dewoitine a go. I enjoyed the build and came out the far side very fond of this trim little bird.

Pretty much anything Russian, Su, MiG, Tu, Mil, etc. The current kits being released are simply too gorgeous to pass up!

totally agree. I am pretty indifferent when it comes to most Russian/ Soviet aircraft, but here I sit looking at a partially built mig-31 and Su-33.
