Come on guys, we all have some laying around. Post them here.

I started thinking about this the other day and looked at the ones on my "In Progress" shelf and found that I had:

1) P-40 Twin - Last worked on a week ago. Stopped to finish the current GB
2) Short Stirling - Not worked on since last month. Same reason
3) Robert L Scotts P-40K - 8 months. Don't really know why I didn't get back to this one.
4) F-102 - 8 Months. Lost the canopy
5) Fw-190D - 8 months. Got too busy with group builds and never got back to it.
6) B-17C - 4 Years. The masking for the second shade of silver began to get to me so I took a break and never returned.
7) Boeing 307 - 4 years. Lots of problems with this one but the reason I stopped was that as there were no longer panel lines on the wings, so I was going to pull the masking off the B-17C after it was painted and put it on the 307's wings.

Then Terry mentioned that he just picked up a Bristol Bulldog and I remembered one that I hadn't finished and I dug these out, all collecting dist for at least 6 to 8 years.

8 ) Bristol Bulldog - Ripped off some decals removing masking. Eventually bought another kit for the decals but never got back to it
9) Supermarine S6B - Managed to mix up the pontoon parts so all the attachment slots are on one and none on the other. I bought another one of these kits too, but never got back to it.
10 11) Fokker DVII and Nieuport 17 - I was going through a biplane faze back then and it ran it's course before these were completed.

Well hopefully now I've shamed myself into working on some of these old projects now that winter is approaching, but I'm not promising anything.

One......a PCM Fw 190 A-1/2/3 combo kit. Mine will eventually be an A-2.

Do I get a prize?

Cheers

Lost count, as i include those virtually finished, but just needing a small antenna or similar to be added. In the 'started but need a lot to finish' category, I have:
SE5a 1/48th scale
F-4 Phantom FGR2 1/48th scale
Wessex HAR 3 1/48th scale
Typhoon (re-build) 1/32nd scale
Hunter F6 1/32nd scale
Mosquito FBVI 1/32nd scale
Tornado F3 1/32nd scale
Spitfire MkXIV (re-build) + V1 1/48th scale
And I'm sure there are others!
 
Unfinished vs unstarted makes a big difference. Those that I've started (and not forgotten about) are:

1/48 Hasegawa Bf109G-6
1/48 Testors/Italeri kitbashed CF-5 Freedom Fighter (still pretty bashed)
1/24 Airfix Bf109E
1/48 Tamiya P-47M (my stalled Nose Art GB entry which I plan to get back to soon)

plus a few armour kits I've given up on.
 
Well lets see....

1/48 Mossie Revell 60%
1/48 MC205 80%
1/350 Prinz Eugen 5%
1/700 Missouri
1/48 P51
1/48 Albatross

I have three on the desk under construction with some paint 1/72 Stuka 40%,1/72 Poetez-603 60% and the B-25 95% should all be done in a couple of weeks.On another forum and it was kinda hap hazard they had complete your model build so alot of different entries.
 
I can't even remember all of them.
There are two ships that I have been working on, one since 1993, and one since 2001.
A German Jagdpanzer that is 3 years on.
The aircraft....too many to count.
