Thank you for getting rid of the girder rivets on the back wall! They were hurting my eyes!

When I was single, I bought my first house, one of the rooms was an engine building room, where I built engines for my hot rods. So, no shame in toolboxes in the house!

The newer tool ones tend to be easier, I built some older 1/72 kits a few years ago, they were a nightmare. Newer kits are getting nicer. Maybe the Yak-3 or Tempest. You will most likely have to deal with some fit issues, fabrication, resin, and PE on most others.

yes, i saw that too, awesome idea!

8! Yes, I got tired of filling and sanding, these hasegawa P-40's need a lot of work, plus I took on a gray matter conversion. I decided that I am going to get back on these, but I need to tackle paint two at a time. I cant handle painting them all at once. I also have 2x P-40B (not started yet). 2x P-40E 1x P-40F (started, but in the box) 2x P-40K 1x P-40L 2x P-40N (early and late)

I have, its better than Sprue Brothers! The crazy thing is, he buys 3-4 of every new kit that comes out, with AM!

You definitely win this game. But my friend Ron up in Minnesota is the King of SOD. He has probably 3000-4000 kits, and at least half had been started. He actually finished 2 models in the past 10 years.

My SOD is the most literal definition...a shelf. Of course, this isn’t showing my Fokker D.VII, B-24, P-47, Zero, SD.KFZ 222, and Wessex. So I hang my head in shame at 15 models.

I’ll say hi to Alice for you.

Trumpeter kits may not be 100% perfect, but they build very easy, quick builds or good for beginners.

That was a bad picture, this one is better. I was torn if I should have used my last set of Resin2detail radios, as they are no longer made. I decided to save them for either the B-17 or B-24 build. I added some scratch detail to the kit radios, pretty basic, but as they are buried below the camera, it would be hard to see them later. I also robbed the battery from my Trumpeter P-51B. It’s basic, but not terrible. I also made a fluid reservoir (not sure for what), and finally added lead wire to all the cockpit boxes, not visible here.

It’s getting busy back there.

..and down the rabbit hole we go...

I have a couple books too, if you need specific info, I can take a pic of a few of the pages
