What If ideas/goals for the upcoming year, what are YOUR plans?

.......and now that there's a relatively new 1/72 model kit provided by Fly which seems to have solved most of the problems that occur on the old Airfix kit.

Sure, but at a price!

I'll have to shop around for one below £50.

Not a WHIF but to show that I AM at least doing SOME modeling work again...


Mutsu in progress on the left, "from the box" raw plastic to become Nagato on the right. Anybody recognize anything about this apparently Chinese KO of a Japanese 1/2000 kit? I got lucky that I found some deadstock paint to complete the mixes I needed.

Thanks for the inspiration two ships to build at a later date,  the Cutty Sark and HMS Belfast.

Well if Lockheed had the seaplane idea for the C-130, then why not use the C-160.

Did one of those years ago: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal5/4301-4400/gal4321-TransallShorts-Bailey/00.shtm

Another non-Whif, if I can find an E-model B-17 in 1/200. Since I'm trying to get the guys at Ares to use the Hawaiian Air Depot scheme for their next B-17 because "we need COLORFUL"*snort* I figure I better set them up with a "this is what it SHOULD look like" sample lest they make another Bloody Balls-Up of it like they did Memphis Belle.

Whilst the wings from the 1/72 Italeri C-119 Boxcar fit the C-130 Hercules, the reverse doesn't work but what if I used the Mach2 A.W. Argosy with the wings, engines and tail from the C-130, The landing gear will need to be used as well, maybe the nose from the C-130 could be used as well.
As for the 1/72 Revell Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic ATL1, if I can find some airliner decals which includes the windows.

[PR19_Kit]

You can get decals of JUST airliner windows, someone like Two Six Decals should sell them, as well as others.

Based on the book 'The Admiralty and the Helicopter 'the helicopters that lost out to the Westland Sea King.

As the new HBO TV series based on the Harry Potter books is set in the 1990s the Hogwarts Express could be a bewitched HST. The Virgin HST train packs are very costly in 00 gauge but I have seen the GWR HST at a cheaper price.

I've got another two of Hasegawa's 1/72 ASF-X Shinden II kits. These will be added to my "Trump Effect" collection! . I'll do one in Canadian, one in Spanish and, one in Portuguese markings.  The fourth one (now ready for painting will be added to my Poblachd Neo-eisimeileach Feachd an Adhair Alba (Air Force, Independent Republic of Scotland) collection. One of 65 ordered (57 single, 8 twin seat) entering service circa 2030 to replace  the long serving F/A -18 force. Aircraft will be named Dealanach (Lightning) in service.

Shame the kit is a WHIF itself! In real life this would have been a BIG aeroplane, about the size of an F-15. Excellent model by the way if anyone is wondering but, unfortunately, UK prices in particular can be really stupid.
