A Plethora of Plastic-2014

Recommended Posts

It seems like many others, I've completed more than I first thought, even with a lull, over 6 or 7 weeks, after the Mustang G.B.

Altogether it has been a good year on the modelling front, other than the fact of not getting my Sabres finished for the G.B., though

they are both near completion, and maybe before the end of the year.

All models are 1/72, brush painted with Humbrol Enamels, (with the exception being the Italeri P-51, that was Revell paint),

using Daler Rowney brushes.

So, for your perusal..........here's what I done for 2014:

THIS1_zps0d919da6.jpg?t=1419008872

Airfix's old mould Typhoon, with Aires wheels, and an assortment of bits and pieces from the Academy and new Airfix kits.

He-702_zps4c8fce15.jpg

Revell's re-box of the Matchbox He-70.

Mig29-2_zps908af516.jpg

Hasegawa Mig-29, (which never got a RFI, due to the fact I don't like it, it seems to small),with Italeri decals, with the

truck from the Military Wheels kit.

Heller's gorgeous Javelin T3, I loved this kit.

DSCF3161_zps03d5eba5.jpg?t=1419009689

Revell old (like really old) mould Bf-109 with decals from E.D.decals. Used as a test bed for Humbrol's new Luftwaffe paints.

Heller A-7E Corsair with Microscale decals.

As you may have noticed, I like old kits.

Thanks to those who took the time to answer my questions, and took the time to look at my Rfi's, and to

Mike and the gang for giving me somewhere to post .

I like this, it shows how much enjoyable modelling you can have that doesn't need an artistry degree in weathering :). Seriously, it's a nice effort for the year. I like the 109 and it's presentation; a silent moment on a sunny day during the battle. Really nice.

I really enjoy the little diorama you create with each build. The planes themselves are all great - but of course I have a soft spot for the SAAF Mustang. Beautifully rendered.

Cheers,

Mike

Cheers Jörgen, unfortunately, while you were getting your Masters degree in weathering, I was flunking badly!!

What superb collection of excellent models Sean! You've had a terrific year with these. Brilliant! Well done.

Cheers Stix, it has been a pretty good on the modelling front, I've certainly done a lot more than I thought.

Cheers Mike, I find a simple base or scene sets off any model, and can be an asset to any subject.

Good line up Sean.

Cheers Mish, much appreciated.

There are some lovely models here Sean, I particularly like the more unusual types like the Caudron and the Macchi, but they are all nicely done :coolio:

Cheers,

Stew

Cheers Stew, something we have in common I think. Somebody has to build those old Heller kits, yes?

Fantastic collection Sean, I really enjoyed seeing these.

Cheers Cookie. I'm glad you liked them,
