Triumphfan's 2014 output. 1st time for me!

I don't usually keep records of what and when but have decided to make it a habit for next year. Going by dates of my pics on the PC, these are builds completed in 2014. Some of these were serious KUTA material. I think the XJ220 had been 90% complete for about 3 years!

I also built 3 WW1 aircraft for a fellow IPMS Fenland member's memorial display. Sadly, these were not photographed.

Not in chronological order but keeping to genre, more or less, here they are.

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR.XIX

Probably one of my most prolific years since childhood, I have had a lot of fun with my modelling this year :thumbsup:

Thanks for looking.

Steve.

That's some pretty significant output there fella! They all look great and it is very, well varied. I did like the Goering figure before he discovered wine, women and food in abundance.

This is one of the most inspirational year books, fantastic work Steve, what a lovely collection of different subject genres. There is so much nice to choose from; the Spitfires capturing some highlights in the early MkI and the late Griffon Mk XIX, or the young Hermann Göring figure. But then we have the cars, showing such a lovely taste for fantastic subjects. You really make some great choices. How do one pick a favourite? Easy, the Porsche 804. Or no, the Salzburg 917, I mean the Connaught, or the Cooper...

:goodjob:

And I felt for sure I'd see a TR6 in the output. Great results here. That is some finish showing on the Mustang - drop dead gorgeous. ( Is she a 68 or 69? )

cheers,

Mike

Thanks Mike, according to the boxlid, the Mustang is a 1965 2+2 Fastback. Quite a good kit, I have a few more in the stash :winkgrin:

I think it's really impressive to see so all those cars (which as far as I can see are quite time-consuming to build) painted, decalled and finished to such a good standard. Lovely.
