My Forgotten Hobby III

At long last… December 14, 2020.

There is a reason behind each model airplane kit I have bought. This makes it difficult to choose one. There is also a story behind why I have been building model airplanes since 1958.

My Forgotten Hobby is a personal diary that I am sharing with everyone who might one day stumble upon it. This is how I view My Forgotten Hobby. 

Getting back to my forgotten hobby… here are the three comments left by readers who had offered suggestions.

Comment no. 1

The IL-2 Sturmovik would be my first choice, but wouldn’t be disappointed if the SBD Dauntless was chosen. The P-61 Black Widow would also be nice. Which of the three has the most detail and would be the most demanding?

Comment no. 2

I was about to vote for the P-51 D, when I saw the Kitty Hawk mention and thought maybe you should start with the one that basically created the others.

I have two thoughts; first is the BP Defiant. That’s one I’ll get to in a couple months and it would be interesting to see you process through. The other is the Tamiya P-51B. I always like Mustangs! And it would be an easy break after fiddling with the He 111.

So what is the story behind each of the model kits that were suggested? That would be a great way to procrastinate isn’t? But I am not going to do it as each one will be eventually built in 2021, 2022 oe 2023.

As for revisiting again December 2013 on My Forgotten Hobby…? We’ll see what happens a little later.

So stay tuned…
