I would build a wingspan models 1/6 scale B-17G. I would have to win the lottery to pay for it, but the build would take me at least 4-6 years, so it could be a very nice and very long last build.

After I finish that, I would start building full scale because I couldn't build any more models. :D

A big ol PBY. I would take off from the river nearby, do a loop around the bridge, park it and walk away.
FWIW, none of my buddies will let me look at a PBY. My wife has offered to buy one tomorrow.

The straightest and most beautiful Aerostar 20 you've ever seen... Finish my hobby the way I began it.
I love it when things come full circle.

It was almost the scratch build on the Sukhoi 29. I had just finished assembling the little Aeroworks electric 260 for a review, walked out of my shop with it in hand to take the last finished photos and had the beginning or first of several hart attacks that I'm told I shouldn't have survived. So, give it some thought, I will quit building when I'm dead. If I wouldn't have made it then would it have been the ARF I assembled or the 80 inch Sukhoi scratch build?? I'm building a pair of scratch built Swoose sea planes at the moment, if I drop dead then it will be the swoose.
I learned you never know when anything is going to be your last, there is no warning so enjoy what you are doing now like it is your last anything, it very well could be.;)
If I knew my time was going to be up then I would do a Ziroli P-38!!:D

Mine would be a Beautiful Scale B-25 Mitchell. It would have twin radials and actual working bombays. I am still messing with ARFs right now learning so I have a long way to go but this is my ultimate goal in this hobby. Just watching a B-25 flight and shoot by is heaven to me.

I would build a 1/3 scale Aeronica Champ.  I learned to fly on a Midwest champ and would want to finish with the same type of plane but just on a grand scale...
