I have 2 Tamiya Panzer II Ausf. Fs and a Tamiya Tiger that are built, but need painted (I'm waiting for the heat to die down a bit. I also have an AER T-38, Tom Modelbau TK-3, and Tamiya StuG IV on the workbench. Once, I finish those I have about 100 things I could do, but I am going back and forth between an Italeri/Zvezda BT-5, Alan BA-20, DML Jagdtiger, and Tamiya Merkava 1.

Update: Doing Academy's 1/72 F-14 Tomcat for the group build. It has horrible pin marks on the detail side of the front wheel well, seatbelts are molded into the seats, and the instruments are decals. Got it for $7.00 so I'm not complaining .

I have just finished a NK T-34/85. I tried something a little different for me, I cut the locater tabs off and sprung the suspension. I have carved the foam to fit for the dio base and will be working on the groundwork itself when I return from vacation. After that I think I will tackle the AFV Club M-10 if I can find some ammo for the ready racks.

I have a feeling that I have a bad case of "can't-finish-anything-itis"

I'm working on: Tamiyas Schwimmvagen + Tamiyas front observation unit
2 Tamiya Willys jeep, one to be converted to a british airborne jeep.
1 Airfix Spitfire Vb.
1 Revell Leopard A4
1 Tamiya Leopard A5
1 Tamiya Panther G
1 Tamiya Universal Carrier
1 Tamiya Cromwell
2 different Tamiya Shermans.

I as I had have gotten a tendency now a days to stock up kits. I buy them, start up and then they end up on the shelf, I buy a new model and so on... Wish I was back at the old days when I bought a kit, finished it and put it on the shelf, and then bought a new one... But then again, boxes are easier to store then kits...

Actively working on a Tank Workshop M4A3E2 Jumbo conversion on a Tamiya #35250 M4A3 donor hull. Also getting attention are a DML Sherman Vc Firefly and a Tamiya M4 Early being convertedto a Firefly Ic. Both of those are slow movers; I need to get more Academy suspension parts to do them right. Yes, I scavenged the correct DML suspension from this 6121 kit to correct my recently finished 6035 M4A4 75mm version. I am also puttering along a little on an Academy Achilles, and trying to screw up the courage to start cutting and glueing on my Tamiya M26 Dragon Wagon....

I currently work on
-Italeri Tiger I 1/35
-Revell Me210 1/72
-Italeri Bf109
-Revell P1099
-Academy US 107mm mortar
-Hasegawa Mosquito MK IV

Unfortunately in my area (Bucharest) only Revell and Italery are available at local shops. Occasionally some Zvezda and MPMs. I get the Academy, Hasegawa and Tamya's either from Budapest or from online shops.

I've got a Fujimi 1/76 JagdTiger and KingTiger on my bench alongside a 1/72 Hasegawa Stuart, a 1/72 Revell Germany M4A1Sherman and Cromwell Mk. 4.
I just got a new Testors Aztec AC300 compressor to go with my A4308 airbrush set, so I'll be digging out something big from my vault in the near future :-)

For those who actually care, I'm about 1 or 2 evenings away from being done with my super-detailed StuG IV. I just need to paint a few details and then use pastels. I've actually pulled my AER T-38 back out while waiting for paint to dry on the StuG IV so I will probably complete that once my StuG is finished. My TK-3 is on hold indefinately until I figure out how to cast a part that is required (going to be pretty hard since I have none of the required tools). Once, the StuG IV and T-38 are finished I have an Italeri/Zvezda BT-5 with Aber PE, Jordi Rubio barrel, MA Mori resin drive sprockets, and Friulmodel tracks on deck.

Ahhh, my first post! Thanks to Paul Fredenburg for the heads up on this site. I am working on a Canadian M113A1 Academy kit with to many extras, and a Bren gun carrier. Hope to have the M113 done soon as It has taken 3 Mo's on the interior. If you are looking the MLM m113 interior update is pretty good. :-)

Well, I'm pretty new here too...

My current project is an AMT YB-35.
Coming up soon: Revell 1/72 B-52D, 1/72 Smer Me-262B (I'mm base it on the 262B night fighter in the local military museum), and a 1/72 Revell (I think) Me-262A.

My wife is currently busy with the famous pink-and-purple Sopwith Camel flown by the Red Baron's gay rival, the Pink Count. After that, she has a 1/32 Camel, a 1/48 Mk8 Spitfire which she'll do in the bare metal finish of the one in our local military museum, and a Yoda/Luke Skywalker kit, which she plans to build with Artoo peering sadly in through the windows at Yoda and Luke getting it off together.

My current project is the room for my expected newborn. And the time which is left (very little I must say) I'm working on a diorama featuring a Sherman m4 (Tamiya) and some U.S. infantery (Tamiya) at rest nearby a shot-up church (Italiery). This is my first project since I started moddeling again.

I just finished my M4 Sherman, and now am working on painting an Italeri M47 Patton II and putting together my M45 105mm Medium Howitzer Tank out of parts from MB Models, Tamiya's M26 Pershing, and DML's M26A1 Pershing model kits. This one should come out pretty nice. I didn't want to do a plain old Pershing like everyone else...

I have current projects:
-AFV Club Sdkfz 11 pulling a tamiya german flak 37 (waiting on individual track)
-Tamiya M26 Pershing
-Tamiya Challenger 2 MBT
-Tamiya M8 Greyhound
-Tamiya M2A2

All of the kits are in various stages of completion. I guess I suffer from ADD.

Hi Claymore
Glad to see I'm not the only South African here (Joburger too by the looks of it).

I'm currently working on a 1/35 HEMTT with MLRS pods and HEMAT trailer. The HEMTT is pretty much finished and painted and I've rebuilt the frames on the four RPs. I now just need to finish the plans for the HEMAT (I'm about 3/4 done) and start scratchbuilding.
The only problem is that between my studies and sport, I've been working on this thing for over a year. Hopefully I'll get to finish it in my December vacation .

Cheers
Ed
