How many unfinished Kits do you have?

[GTX]

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself...

Just 1, Airfix 1:48 scale Spitfire Mk Vb. It has an incredible number of parts not mentioned in the instructions, 3 spinners, two props, a Volkes filter, slipper tank, two fuselage cowls, bombs, others I will only know about when it is finished. It was a Christmas prezzie from my wife I am tempted to make it the ugliest Spitfire that ever flew, filter slipper tank bombs and clipped wings with an awful scheme of blues, browns and yellows

Six doesn't sound like so many anymore!

 

[Capt. Vick]

About a thousand, give or take

 

[T Bolt]

I updated my list today and looking at it am surprised at how many are on the verge of being completed. I really need to finish some of them up.

1) P-40 Twin - FINISHED

2) Short Stirling – Last work on in March of 2019

3) Robert L Scotts P-40K – Last worked on May 2014. Needs weathering and final assembly

4) F-102 - FINISHED

6) B-17C - FINISHED

7) Boeing 307 - FINISHED

8 ) Bristol Bulldog – 26 years. Ripped off some decals removing masking. Eventually bought another kit for the decals but never got back to it

9) Supermarine S6B – June of 1998. 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) Fokker DVII - 26 Years. I was going through a biplane faze back then and it ran it's course before these were completed.

11) Nieuport 17 – See above

12) Rufe (Zero float plane) – 1999. Had a brain fart and sprayed the dullcoat before the decals. Doh!

13) A6M2 Zero – 1999. Just need to put on the prop and cowl

14) Grumman XF5-1 Skyrocket - Just the props for this one....only about 20 years

15) AMT F4U-1 Corsair, the old AMT kit. Finished except for the decals and the long lost canopy. Did this one before I moved to the city so it's at least 28 years

16) RMS Campbelltown 4 stack destroyer - Had the deck done and the front portion was broken off in an accident. It can be repaired but I never did. At least 20 years ago. Repaired the deck and assembled the Hull a couple of years ago, but never got back to it.

17) XP-55 Ascender – From Group Build #34. Last worked on Feb 2021. Needs final assembly.

18) J7W1 Shinden – Also from Group Build #34. Last worked on Jan 2021. Needs final assembly.

19) X-1 – Not worked on since Aug 2019. A bit more assembly needed before paint.

You mean like mentally/conceptually, including untouched ones, or actually physically?

1. If you mean actually physically, that information is both classified and not available with a high degree of accuracy.

2. If you mean mentally/conceptually, ALL of them.

3. Don't bother filing a FOIA.

Your best camo job ever.

 

[Mainly28s]

I currently have 70 unbuilt, 9 in various stages of completion, and 14 complete. All 1/48th.

 

[SaparotRob]

Your best camo job ever.

The other day I found two 1/48 XP-77 kits I do not recall buying, one, yes, but not three.

 

[Crimea_River]

I'm working based on the low inventory and just in time delivery concept. My list, just aircraft:

I also have 3 unfinished 1:350 ships and a German half track in 1:32

 

[le_steph40]

Today: 176 unbuilt (and to be built), 156 in stock, 2 on the workbench (P-51B & Mustang III) and 122 built (over about 30 years)
It's very likely that I won't live long enough to finish everything I have to build...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Wow! You guys, the mind boggles. Like Andy I'm a bit of a just in time and what the market has on hand type of guy. I've a very small inventory and nothing unfinished:

TBD-1 Devastator 1/32 Trumpeter
Gannet AS.1/AS.4 (the ugly bird) 1/48 Airfix
ME-262 a-1a 1/48 Tamiya (aiming for GB65)
Re.2000GA 1/48 Special Hobby
CR.42 Falco 1/48 Italeri
Fw 190A-3 1/48 Eduard ProfiPack

and the pride of this small collection:
Porsche Carrera GT 1/12 Tamiya.

 

[N4521U]

Yeah, 7
4 of which are cars!

 

[MIflyer]

How many of y'all have some kits that are unbuilt but only partial in nature, missing parts? I bought a lot of Monogram 1/48 TBD kits on ebay a while back and if I contrive to manufacture some canopies I'll have three I think, plus various major parts for a few more.

 

[fubar57]

Got a Tamiya 1:48 F4F Wildcat that's missing a landing gear cover; all thats preventing me from calling it done

 

[T Bolt]

You should be able to make that up pretty easily from plastic card

 

[fubar57]

I know I started to do the but can't remember why I stopped

 

[Hamchuck]

Just a few weeks ago I only had two of these kits. I've done a little impulse buying since then.
