Quiz. What plane?

IMHO, a Russian one : possibly a Sturmovik, or a Yak ?

Close. Right idea, wrong country.

 

[tubelectron]

Ah... So maybe a Junkers 87 Stuka on the Eastern Front ? Due to the shape of the wings implant "à la F4U Corsair"...

Thank you for bailing me out on that one tubelectron, I hadn't a clue, , , and was gonna be a wiseguy and say "A cold one", seeing it parked in that snowy field......

 

[Lucius Mojo]

The engine fits well into the chassis.

All this is admirable - congratulations !

Modestly, I started the restoration of my LIONEL 262E locomotive, which was sleeping in a box since last June...

Of course, it's not finished !

@Lucius Mojo and @sanford12 : please admire my vehement attempt to paint the rims and spokes of the wheels... OK : you can laugh !

I will need to clean / scrap all the red paint excess afterwards... This is definetly more easy than any masking job, which always ends in failure with me !

But it's me, OK ?

Everyone has to start somewhere. You'll get better as you build. Check out modeler videos and join some RR forums. I did both and that's when I started to get better.

Kind of a neat little novelty model though could use some decals:

You know how the last 5 minutes of a basketball games can take seemingly half an hour? It feels that way too for me about completing a kit. The last 10% takes 50% of the total time. Here are two kits am SO close to completing:
