Did RC planes and helo before, I enjoy building things. Time at the workbench with my tunes going is therapy for me.

Now just waiting on time. I have a few days off in the next couple weeks so maybe I will make some progress.


Pass the gravy.

I've built a few over the years. The new kits take much longer than when I was a teen due to how complex they are.

one reason they are more complex.. is as Adults, we insist on making them 100% awesome. esp. Cockpits. right color, weathering etc. I have not touched my in progress builds in a good while, but I look around and see all the little bottles of paint. 4 air brushes..
well on of them is for projects other than sizes of kits. As in Large Model Rockets. WTH is wrong with my brain ?? LOLOL. lets face it we are just kids in disguise.

Just recently I started to explore that again. This is the first of three, the smallest at a little under 15". The biggest is maybe 30" at most. These things are dirt cheap. Just like my guns, it'll be a while before I launch them. I hope somebody posts some super b4d@$$ rockets here.

True, but I don’t recall kits as complex as the 1/32 Corsair or F-16 I posted. Each took close to 6 months.

The Tamiya 1/32? It’s a great kit, but the decals can seem endless.

Beautiful work on the model cars, planes, and rockets! I’ve been cautiously following this thread because scaled models ended up being a gateway drug to 100 percent experimental flying machines when I was a kid.
A neighbor was flying this RC HobbyZone Super Cub on floats yesterday so I thought I’d try to get a few shots.
