raguk builds 2016 a modest haul.

[raguk]

Well a bit of a slow start form me this year with a few larger project builds that seemed to take for ever.

A modest haul though at 10 aircraft and to make the numbers up two Bandi Star Wars kits too. BB8 and R2D2 (Sorry no pics)

All but the Vampire have been featured in SAM magazine and a couple that will soon ( I hope)

 

All the best to you and your family members for Christmas and the New Year.

Thanks for looking,

Rick G

All beautifully done, my favourite is the F-18C, love those with flaps down. I'm sensing the long build theme has something to do with Kinetic?  I'm in the market for their 18C and 16A, would you say they're for a more experienced modeller, or need more care to build?

Really top work young sir, Take care and have a great Christmas and New Year

Thanks Simon,

Yeah Kinetic featured a lot this year, get them in for review etc.

The kits though are better with each release and the Hornet is a fantastic kit but not an easy build.

with care and respect ,all with a few kits under their belt should be ok with them.

 

I would go with the Hasegawa F-16 A though just for ease of build no drop in panels etc as found on the Kinetic kit.

Hmm, ok, food for thought. Thanks.

Great work! I think I like the T-33 best, probably because I really like that paint scheme. I don't know how you guys find the time to build so many models. I'll try to catch up next year.    

 

Cheers,
