Intermission – Very nice. Lots of painting tips especially about the yellow.

Updated 13 May 2022

More have been bought and some are now completed.

I thought, I can’t remember when, that it’s was a great idea to have a to-do list of what I have in my collection, especially when Amazon was always putting on adds whenever I was opening my computer and searching the Internet.

 

 

 

I was hoping that I could avoid going on another spending spree, and planning ahead on my next builds by setting up some priorities…

Well I was being wrong and I was keeping adding more model kits in my collection. This is now the updated listing of model kits with those recently bought in red.

So with still more 75 model kits waiting to be built, I realize now that it’s not that important if I build them all… Just having them is.

Working with 1/72 scale model kits took out some of my energy and I felt less motivated to work on these two hangar queens.

The weather was not conducive last week also, and I could not use my airbrush outside.

So I got thinking…

What should I build next?

Two Airfix Hawker Hurricanes are long overdue, and there are still all the kits that I bought earlier this year.

Samples of what I bought…
I am not getting anymore Amazon ads for model kits which in a sense is a relief, but is kind of strange.

I will probably set up my outdoors workbench tomorrow and start masking and painting the Me 109.
