DaveJL Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hello all, Here is this years output, not too bad really! All 1/48 except for the diorama, which is 1/35. First up was Tamiya's wonderful F-14A, marked as BuNo 159610 of VF-32 'Swordsmen' in 1989: This was one of a pair of F-14s that downed 2 Libyan Mig-23s. The Tamiya kit is just superb, the best fitting 1/48 kit out there at the minute. Fightertown decals and some resin bits used. Hasegawa F-16D Block 52+, 343 Mira, Hellenic Air Force: Quite a lot of aftermarket used on this one -seats, exhaust, FOD cover, CFTs and RBF tags. The IRIS-T are from a Revell Eurofighter and the HARMs are from a Tamiya F-16. Kinetic F-16F, UAE Air Force, Inherent Resolve, 2015: OOB except for the seats and FOD cover. SAS & LRDG 'Desert Rendevous, Libya, 1942': Both old Tamiya kits with a lot of extra kit and some Masterbox figures thrown in. Hasegawa F/A-18E, VFA-31 'Tomcatters,' Inherent Resolve, 2017: Plenty of aftermarket on this one too - FOD covers, cockpit, decals and ECS pipes. Eduard Mig-21MF, Czech Air Force, 1998: OOB except for the seat and decals. GWH Mig-29AS, Slovakian Air Force: GWH base kit with a few parts and decals pinched from an Academy AS boxing to turn the GWH kit into the a Slovakian example. Eduard Mig-21BIS, Croatian Air Force: Had a major issue with the decals for this one. The majority of them broke up, so had to order a second sheet. As you can see, the square pattern is the wrong shade of grey. GWH Mig-29A, Hungarian Air Force: OOB except for the seat, FOD covers and decals. Revell F-15E, 89-0487, 335th FS, Inherent Resolve, 2016: Revell base kit with a lot of parts, including the ordnance, pinched from an Academy F-15E. Wanted a heavily weathered jet, so used a combination of washes, dry brushing etc to get this. Thanks for looking. Dave 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Love the LRDG Dio and the planes all look excellent, after my RAF F-15E, I'm thinking maybe I should do a FAA F-14 to go with the F-18 I did a few years back. That Tamiya build looks excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
