I do this all the time, as in everyday. I try to finish up some that are close before opening the bags on another one, just because it can become an issue with too many in progress at once. To keep track of all the bits and pieces (not only to avoid losing them but to not mix the parts from multiple kits) I use small jars with plastic lids. I have a few kits that were started 25-30 years ago, I do think I'll finish them someday, only exceptions would be ones I've generally ruined, for those I'd like to try and finish as best I can just on principle.

Here's some examples for my bench as of today:

Nearly done (but off to the side)
McLaren MP4/4
Merkava Mk IV

In progress (various stages)
F-35I Adir
J2M3 Jack
Panther Ausf D
F-105 Thud

Shelved (need inspiration)
Bf109
F-16 Aggressor
B-17 Waist Gunner

Shelved (maybe long-term)
B-25 Mitchell
Fokker DVII
M5A Stuart

(the ones from the 1990s are not listed here )

[QUOTE="Edbert, post: 243017, member: 21853"] I do this all the time, as in everyday. I try to finish up some that are close before opening the bags on another one, just because it can become an issue with too many in progress at once. To keep track of all the bits and pieces (not only to avoid losing them but to not mix the parts from multiple kits) I use small jars with plastic lids. I have a few kits that were started 25-30 years ago, I do think I'll finish them someday, only exceptions would be ones I've generally ruined, for those I'd like to try and finish as best I can just on principle.
