WELL WELL WELL!!! Feeling mighty bold are we? Wit' all 'ese kits 'n projects 'n 'all'at! 
4 at a whack. I'm loving the stuff coming off the shelf of doom. It kinda makes me sad a bit when projects stall out. Been trying to do the same myself. 2 stalled with one "new" project on the bench.
I know what you mean about working outside. Despite the nutty extremes that can happen with the weather... I'll take it. Indoors stuff either A: Is tolerable, somewhat fun, and won't drive one insane.. or... B: Pays well but is likely to be monotonous and/or repetitive. I can't have either aspect of the latter, despite pay. I've done the prior before, and enjoyed it for the most part, but those don't pay the bills. There are exceptions of course... but yeah, for the most part, I find these things to be true.
Go on and get started with the F-35.... can't wait for the arguments to start on that one. (kidding, I ain't trying to start no riots ) Let's just say opinions on the F-35 range from one extreme to the other as I'm sure you know! Personally, when I first saw it, I was like, "whoa, it's a Baby Raptor!" I mean... to the untrained eye, they have similar shapes and all.
Although that particular 'Baby Raptor' hit a few branches on the way down out of the Ugly Tree...
But not as many as Boing's X-32...
Is it me, or is it getting hot in here?
Ooh, looky - someone's lit the pilot light... 
"Puttin' out Fires with Gasoline...."
Well, i guess i'm in over my head but what the heck, i've had 20 unfinished models before so 4 is not a big deal...
And they've been on my mind for quite a while now, might as well just get on with it, right?
Re outdoors work, i can cope with the weather extremes pretty well, when it's cold and wet, it's good to work cause you warm up, and when it's hot and dry, you can get a tan while at work
but obviously, keeping yourself hydrated is a must, even if you drink warm water.
Rick, great song by a great musician!
You're ok with me, bro, i LMAO with your comment!
The F-35... i really like it despite all the controversy, i believe it's a very advanced fighter and that in time it will become all that was expected of it. And it's so much better looking than the X-32 was, that is an ugly thing... let's just say i think the X-32 is as good looking as a dog's chocolate starfish!!
The F-14/15/16/18 didn't come into service as the machines they became with more time and money... Truth is that new concepts always need time to iron out the problems that always come up in machines that are to do what has never been done before. It's funny that a lot of people said bad things about the F-22 and now it's the best... now it's on the F-35 but i think they forget that these were the first of their kind, with such advanced capabilities... The Russian PAK-FA and Chinese J-20/31 came after the American fighters, and i'm not so sure if they have the same capabilities as the Raptor and Lightning II... Besides, these are in service and their Eastern and Oriental rivals have just come out of prototype stages... I think Americans should value their fighters a bit more, they're breaking new ground and you just can't do that in the current days without spending a lot of money.
Anyway, i like it and i was glad i could buy kits of my favorite version, the F-35C, in both 1/72 and 1/48 scales.
i have plans to build one of the A variant as a future Portuguese fighter, which will replace the PoAF's F-16AM fleet in 2025...
So, i have today's afternoon for myself so modelling is on the list of things to do.
