My Model Bucket List - Why and Status

[Old Collingwood]

I decided to  show my bucket list of all the kits I would either like to do or have  because of a  special reason  to me and the admiral, so here goes  -

 

1/350  HMS Warspite Battleship,   because  both myself and the admiral loved the look of her   -  built.

1/350   HMS Trafalgar  Class  Sub,   because we used to see them  by the coast where we used to live   - built.

1/72   Black Pearl,   built for the admiral  as she loves the films   -  built.

1/48   RAF WW2  British Airfield  Diorama,   built in my late farthers memory  as he used to work on various airframes  during the war   -  built.

1/48   Royal Navy   Seafire,    my farther also used to work on these   -  built. 

1/48   RAF CH47   Chinook,    It was the first military helicopter the admiral saw with me   -  building.

1/48   Royal Navy  Hawk,   It was the first  fast jet that the admiral saw with myself on one of our walks   -  In my old stash  to be built.

1/48   RAF  Hurricane,    my farther also used to work on these   -  future project  (perhaps next year).

52mm   Battle for  La Haye Sainte  (Waterloo)   diorama,   used to playfight with the Airfix OO scale  when I was a kid    -  on-going   project.

1/350  Type 42 Destroyer  HMS Edinburgh,   we used to see her  a few time where we used to live   -  another future project  late next year  as its not in production yet but will be.

 

1/35  Scammell  Commander  Tank Transporter  and  Challenger 2  latest up armoured Tank,    we used to see these  go past us on the way to one of the ranges (superb sight)    -    future project.

 

1/18  Lotus Esprit  Turbo  (With Full body kit)    I very nearly purchased one of these  years back in a mad  heart over head moment   - future project  (I have not come across one of these in kit form.

 

1/48   French Navy  Super Etendard (SEN)  +  1/48  French Navy  Rafale,    because we used to see these over a Two week period on a range near to were we used to live    -   future project.

 

65mm   Englsh Civil War  figures,    because I wanted to join up as a reinactor  when I was younger   -   future  project.
