After getting a Supercub for xmas two years ago I started fiddling around on this site and after watching two Four Star builds, I decided to take the plunge. I started with a Four Star 40, very easy and straight forward and gave me the building basics. From that point forward I was ruined. Being that I'm a Warbird admirer I built the Great Planes sport scale Corsair right after the Four Star. Then I bought a TF P-47 kit...and started listening to all the scratch builders talk about planes available in plan form...but not in kit form. So I found a FW190A-8 (.60 size) plan set, ordered my material, and started cutting parts. The FW190 is about 70% complete but I've set it aside for a short time to keep from burning myself out (a lot of work), but I've absolutely enjoyed my first scratch built project and the experience it's given me. I find myself no longer "stressed out" doing the things that made me nervous before. After moving the FW to the back burner you'd think I'd get back to work on the P-47....nope, I ordered the TF P-40 kit because the P40 was always my favorite plane as a kid. I wouldn't call myself a patient person with a lot of things, but I was constantly putting together model car kits and planes (the plastic ones) as a kid which is where my patience with this probably comes from. I can say this, after scratch building the FW up to it's current state, the quality of the work from the P-47 to the P-40 is definitely noticeable to me. Not that there is anything wrong with the P-47 sections that I'd already built...but you can just look at the tail feathers of the P-47 and P-40 and definitely tell that there is a years worth of building experience between them. I also have the TF Spitfire sitting in a box waiting it's turn. I just can't decide if I want to go back to the P-47 after the P-40 is done or the Spitfire. Course there's always the Giant Scale ME109 short kit I got a few months ago tucked under the bed....decisions decisions
