Yes you do! I try to limit myself to two on the go - sometimes I slip into three :oops: More progress pics please!

It does look worse than it is.

1/Revell Victor
Work stopped on this and has only recently restarted. I messed up the intakes at the rear near the tail so had to redo them. Just sorted out the badly fitting canopy, improved the seats etc.

PM Fokker DXXI (finished but being repainted)
This was in Dutch markings but I noticed the decals were peeling. So put it to one side to repair but then remembered I've got Finnish markings somewhere else. I'm not happy with the fit underneath so I'll fix this.

Premier Shorts Tucano (Unfinished)
Started this at local model club as I thought it'd be quite easy to complete - it isn't.

Arba Resin Focck Wulf TA152 (Nearly finished)
As above but not nice and no decals which I'll have to sort....

Frog Jaguar (Just Started)
Made an interior for this and opened up the intakes. Very early days with this.

Airfix Tornado F3 (Unfinished)
I living knightmare kit, really poor fit.

Airfix BV 141 (Just finished scratchbuilt interior)
Made a complete interior for this, when painted up I'll post pictures. Trying to figure out where the guns fit through the front of the canopy. Seen pictures of the real thing, holes are in the canopy but no mention of them in the kit?

Scratchbuilt Junkers 388 (Seriously unfinished - see old forum)
A curious mixture of P38 bodyfiller, squadron putty and plasticard. Oh and parts of a Junkers 388 conversion kit somewhere in there too.

I never seem to make anything that's straightforward!
