My work area is not quite as organised.
For 2019 I aim to finish but not in any order.
1/32 Flycatcher
1/32 Caproni CH 1
1/72 Douglas X-3
1/32 BAT FK 23 Bantam.
1/32 HM Pou du Ciel
These are all in various stages of construction.
I started something just before Christmas and will post it when finished.
To everyone all the very best for the New Year.
Cheers

My vote goes to the Macchi M5. Regards Paul J.
I have actually started to build something! To keep it simple I decided to make a glider, the Grunau Baby in 1:100 out of some balsa off-cuts i had lying about. Markings and painting will be imaginary, to make it fit into my "alternative history" of Smaland, wich is the part of Sweden where I live.
Thank you for your vote Paul.
I look forward to your project Johan.

I'm in the home stretch on an RE-8...
Looking forward to the RE-8 and the Grunau.
