I have added the kits to the build list.
I will end up with a whole new category in the process of doing this.
It will be "one of each 1/72 tooling of each aircraft in the collection"
I plan to start posting the builds for this collection soon.

Here is the new first stage of my building list
I revised my build list to incorporate as many commercial decals as possible. My previous lists had far too many sets of markings that I was going to have to do here by myself. This path is more true to the way I want to build models, which is to just build them without all the excess work and toil.
As you can see in the following list, sometimes there just is no choice but to make them ourselves.
One of Each Tail Code combo, AA to NP, in 1/72 scale.
Atlantic coast Air Wings, Air Groups and Air Task Groups

Note that this list covers the time period before CVW-17 was transferred to the West Coast and changed their tail code to NA. I am also cutting off the Carrier list at CVN-76, and all aircraft types will be E/A-18G and older. (there had to be some cut-off point or the list would just keep growing every year.
I will update this list later in the week to add the kits that I will use for each build.
Until then, build away, folks, your stash is only going to get larger if you don't.

I am changing the tone and direction of my Blog
Due to the large and vocal resistance that so many have voiced on
various message forums to "the Rivet Counters",,,,,,,,,I am quitting
that activity.
I will post various thoughts about the models I build and plan to build. I will cite references for those models, including color data. But, I am not going to go digging around for this little detail or that obscure photo,,,,,,unless it is for a person that is already an online or in person friend.
Please don't get mad at me for this decision, if you must blame someone, blame the people that believe for some reason that Rivet Counters are "making the hobby too hard" for other builders,,,,,,,instead of providing FREE info to the people that ask for it in public threads.
My collection posts will be just that,,,,,vanity posts that show off the goodies I have made masters for (for my own use, now) and finished models.
