Motor pool is backed up with repairs and construction

So, after my acquisition of kits from my friend Peter, I'm going to have to conceive of a plan to build up the kits I have.
So far, I have been able to:
1. Build a T-34/85, needs to be painted,
2. Build a Czech/German tank, needs to be painted
3. Mount an early war German force The tanks and SP guns will alternate between the 21st Panzer division in Normandy 1944, Operation Babarossa 1941, and Battle of France, 1940.
4. Mount a German force in winter gear which I may have as an Estonian SS Division. They need paint.
5. Mount an insurgent force for the 1990-2018 time frame (see my other blog Know Your Enemy)
6. Mount an insurgent force for 1950-80 time frame (see my other blog Know Your Enemy.)
7. Began constructing several Commonwealth trucks, a CMP and a Scammel tank transporter.(still working on those kits, the CMP is from a Polish company and too many fiddly bits) I've gotten the CMP truck done by August, just need to build the trailer.
8. Built a PSC Universal carrier and a Half track.
9. Built a Vickers light tank, with a 15mm and coaxial mg. This I have put into my Malaya and Singapore force.
