Usually three. Though. Some colors like white and yellow require more.

You should try building one of these:

eBay link - Hasegawa 1/8 scale Sopwith Camel

would definitely keep you occupied for a while.

Thank you. I have built one Takom. I’m trying to remember what it was. I think it was this Hummel but don’t hold me to it.

None of those plane tails are painted red, you must not like your job.

I built a 1/72 scale a while back.


I’ve got a 1/35 scale in my stash.

Cool stuff. I collect car models. Mostly 1/24. Have over a 100 boxed never built Tamiya, Fujimi, Testers. 95% are Porsches of different vintages, race, street, or models (911, 928, 944, 968, 959, 956, 962, Formula 1, Indy Car etc). A few I had to get from Japan because they weren’t available in the states. I keep saying one day I’ll sit down and start building one. I just cannot decide which and that leads to getting another. Many of these I’ll likely never unwrap.

I’ve only built one car in my life. That was a 1969 Mustang Fastback I built for my brother years ago. I painted it to look exactly like the one he got for his 16th birthday. Sadly it was lost when his house burned about 10 yards ago.

Thanks. After looking over my stash I’ve decided this one will be next up...



I’ll probably start it Friday night. I’ll post it up when I’m done.
