89AKurt's 2022 builds, is it 3 or 6?

[89AKurt]

Well, this is embarrassing.  ?  I've been in a funk about models this year, too busy with work which sucks up all my creative energy.  Thanks to this forum, I managed to build the Cannonball 190SL.  This month I picked two really easy kits to start and FINISH.

I also got inspired to dig out my model rocket stuff, restored 3 built rocket recovery systems, and built 3 versions of the Estes Mosquito.  The first one was lost the day after I finished it, too big a motor.

Will be getting proper sized motors (wimpy) to launch these.  Painted with nail 'polish', and Testors fluorescent paint.

I shouldn't complain about work, it's how I can afford to get the models and supplies, just need to have a balance.

That Merc is cool!  Love that you had too much motor in your rocket?

They all look real nice and if you are having fun with them that's what is important. Well done!  ?

The 190 is one of the coolest builds I have seen this year.

Good stuff! I love that Mercedes!

I'd say six. A model is a model.

Love the Mercedes. 

I can sympathize with not getting much modeling done. One suggestion is set a small goal to accomplish one small task. Sometimes once you are at the bench you will spend more time if not you've at least  made some progress.

Thank you.  That is a good suggestion.  I tend to look at the whole project, have to when custom building, which tends to become overwhelming.  I took a look at some other models to start on, some of the military kits with teeny tiny photo-etch and tiny parts, what was I thinking?

Thanks.  It's the prototype DFS-194 that led to the Komet.

Thank you to everyone else who bothered to leave a comment! ?

All 3 are nice but that DFS-194 really grabbed my attention!
