discussion What are your "Must Build" top ten aircraft?

[Guest]

A tricky one, I know. As a returning modeller, I have a list in my head of ten or so planes that I really have to get around to. Trouble is, the list changes as I see some of the fabulous builds on this forum. To qualify for my personal list, the plane has to have made a significant impact, and be a thing of grace and beauty.

At the moment, in no particular order, I'm at

P47D - done, but an early attempt so will try again

FW190 - As above

Spitfire - compulsory? MkV in stash

P51 - Mk1A kit in stash, must build a D though.

Bf109 - E model in stash

F86 Sabre - Built, but paint was a problem. One to come back to

Mosquito

F4U Corsair

Me262

Lancaster

Is that ten already?

All 32 scale:

The Hawker family are those most wanted:

Sea Fury

plus

BP Defiant

Some more, where there are kits available I will add to my stash soon:

Wildcat

Swordfish

Swordfish mk I on floats.

Spitfire 22/24

Spitfire VI

Spitfire XVI

Jaguar

Buccaneer

Avro Lancaster....not enough room

Avro Vulcan.... like thats ever going to happen.

Canberra. not an absolute but deserves a place.

A good Westland Wessex copter would not go a miss either.

I better stop.
