My last time was with a R/M Fock-Wulf 190/ F-8, It clearly became apparentthat I needed a break from A/C Models and went back to Armor. Which is where I have been lately. And I have been quiet safe and happy.

Yep, I know the feeling all too well. Seems to happen to me every one in two models LOL It's a miracle I ever finish anything #:-) #:-) #:-)
This time, it is Tamiya's Merkava Mk.I (that's right, Paulo, I still haven't finished it ).

I'm in the same boat, but it's a set of DML indicidual track links that's intimidating me.

I think my share of creeps would be the sheer number of A/C kits that I have in my stock waiting to be made! Nearly 45 A/C and 10 Armor, and I just get frightened thinking about the time and effort I need to do all those, and where I'll keep them after I'm done... SHEEESH!!!!

I also have a damaged 1/48 Academy MIG-29 waiting since 3 years to be done, and a Revell Mosquito about two years. Just gave up on modelling suddenly then...Am getting back now, thx to the A/C group build. Thanks for that, Penny !

I went through the burnout thing last year while trying to complete a Hase P-38F,then I switched back to Armour kits after a 12 year aircraft only period.Now I am building armour like its going out of style :-) The 150 plus aircraft kits sitting unbuilt in the closet stare at me every day saying "Build us"
