My first completed build was a first in a while for me because I haven't started an aircraft build in a long LONG time but I've always wanted a Me-262 to be in my display case and I've been wanting to build a Franz Stigler bird (whether it be a 109 or a 262) for a while and I finally made it happen with a Tamiya 1/48 offering. Not my usual style of opening everything up but I just couldn't disrupt the beautiful lines of this aircraft too much. This one took somewhere around the 7 month marker to finish.
Then I had a Revell Boss 302 engine from the 1970 Boss 302 Mustang kit that I built as a part of a community project and was pretty happy with this outcome as well. This took me almost 2 months to build.
And then another "first" for me. I ended up building my first ever all metal PE kit. A Fokker Dr 1 in 1/70 scale from Metal Earth. This one, while only taking a couple of days to build, was a pretty fun build for me. Challenging, but a pretty quick finish that I felt pretty good about.
Aside from these three builds I've had a 1967 Mustang Fastback build that I've spent the last 5 months building and will hopefully be finished up in the next couple of months. I had planned originally for it to be a fairly quick build but the more I built on it , the more detail I wanted to put into it so.....I'm now looking for a completion within the next couple of months. After that....I'm not sure what I'll tackle next. I've got another aircraft build that I've been wanting to tackle now for 25 years and then there's another Maverick project that I'd really like to do.
We'll see how it goes.
And of course the 262…
