Hey Ken! Fancy meeting you over here!

Working through my Resolution Build, which will probably take me the rest of the year.

For those of you who I've not met on other forums, at New Years, I took stock of the kits I had started over the past few years, but never finished. I came up with 12 that I decided to finish this year. The first two that I worked on were a pair of Monogram Avengers, then a pair of P-47s and P-40s, an SBD, and a TBD, all Monogram; the old Lindberg F11C Goshawk; an Aurora F4B-4; a Pyro/Lindberg Hawker Fury; and the USS Essex in 1/700, by Hasegawa.

My resolution was not to buy any new models or open any unstarted kits from my stash, until I finish these. I allowed an exception for a group build that our club organized in November, to be completed by IPMS Regionals in October; we're building Eduard's P-39Q/P-400, as a tutorial, with one of the guys in the club showing us how he builds. But I've been keeping to my resolution, not buying anything new or opening anything new.

The Thunderbolts are now in focus. One had the fuselage assembled and wings and stabs attached, the other is still apart. I'm trying to apply things I'm learning in the tutorial build, which is more than anything about thinking before gluing.

Now if I could only get over my fear of the airbrush, I'd be all set!
