Back when I started this blog I gave myself a “to do” list
of Academy kits to build but despite the best intentions they didn’t really get
built.
The P-39 was built, but if I’m honest I did not build it
well, in fact it was awful and my inexperience was showed up somewhat. The
P-51B looked like a good kit but I managed to make a series of mistakes which
consigned it to the scrap pile, likewise with the Hellcat. The P-47 went the
way of eBay and the Ju-87 remains unbuilt and may well be sold at some
point in the future.
Now don’t get me wrong here, this isn’t an Academy bashing
post, I was so keen to get back into modelling that I rushed, bought a stack of
kits, made far too many mistakes and never achieved the original goals that I
set out to achieve. And of course, I wrote off a whole lot of kits in the process.
Recently I took a break and decided to spend a bit of time
going back to basics, practicing and taking a more steady approach to modelling.
Of course this doesn’t make particularly good reading, which explains the
absence of blog posts in the last few months, but it has been useful. Not
feeling the need to do something with half an eye on how I will blog about it afterwards
has also been a relief.
So back to the here and now.
