Mike Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 First up this side of last New Year's Eve was the Global Hawk from Skunkmodels in 1:48... man that wingspan is immense! Then it was off to Germany for the Great Wall Hobby Fw.189 in 1:48: Then it was a first for me... a resin kit! The new(ish) AlleyCat Shorts Tuncano T.1 in 1:48, which made the hallowed cover of MIS later in the year: Next was the Heritage Chipmunk in 1:48 again, and again in resin... : Yet MORE resin from Heritage - their new Supermarine 224, the father (in some ways) of the Spitfire, and my first Natural Metal finish: And finally (so far this year), the new Cyberhobby Neubaufahrzeug, which for a tank that was only ever built 6 times by the Germans, now has three separate kits of it from which to choose from Whether I'll finish anything else this year is anyone's guess... it certainly won't be the 1:48 Wellesley I'm struggling manfully with at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What a great selection Mike. The Chipmunk is my favourite (although the 224 is pretty cool too). Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks for the kind comments guys. I suppose I could probably finish one more by the end of the year if I put my mind to it. The USS Independence just need some PE fixing and unbending (I dropped summit on it), and a few figures painted for the rear deck. Can I be bothered? Maybe? Perhaps an entry in the KUTA IV?

spitfire Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Looks like a fine years work to me, the 224 certainly takes my eye but they are all very impressive. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Fantastic work Love them all Will be ordering a Heritage Chipmunk (why is there no mainstream kit of this wonderful aircraft) and as for your rendering of the 224 well that's just outstanding i love it and will obtain one as fast as resources allow hope santa rewards you Mike cheers Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacificmustang Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Great builds Mike, and well photographed as well. I would be happy if all my kits turned out that good. Unfortunately due to a few house moves this year, my output has been a big fat Zero Looking forward to what you do next year Merry Xmas to you and your family Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
