2017 a tale of three builds.


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

 

I hope you all had a great Christmas and you all have an equally fab new year. I thought I'd show my meagre completed builds for 2017, there's only three so blink and you'll miss em! (there should be a forth my 1/32 Special Hobby Tempest II but unfortunately she has been consigned to the dark place, under my desk, never to be seen again......)

My first finish for the year was a model I started 2 years ago the Hasagawa 1/48 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1b....

Next up was the Airfix 1/72 B17G finished as a RAF Mk III..

And finally my Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito....

..And that my friends is that. Not much to show for 12 months work but at least its something I guess.

In 2018 I will be starting my 1/32 B25 and Hawker Hurricane plus a couple of 1/48 scale builds I have in the stash.

 

Cheers all and here's to 2018!!

:wow:Excellent builds on all three. I really like the 100 Group Fortress Mk.III. I want to convert the 1/48th to one of these someday. 

Hey Corsairfoxuncle

 

Cheers bud - The Airfix B17G was simple to convert to a 100 Grp machine as most of the bits were already in the box, I just built the large transmitter antenna and the chutes under the fuselage...simples

Three really nice builds Iain.

 

What happened to the Tempest though?

Ha the Tempest...I dipped the canopy and it didn't turn out to good so I thought I'd strip it back and start again - unfortunately I tried to clean it using lacquer thinners rather than IPA (same type of jar) and it melted on me, plus the under wing decals fell apart on me so I just lost interest....its gone but not forgotten.

Great builds, especially the Fortress.

 

I also managed 4 this year, one up from last year.

Fantastic builds there Ian. I would be well pleased to have completed three, I only managed one to show for the year. New year resolution is finish more kits.

Hey Allan

 

Thank you for the kind words....If I can start and finish my B25 in 2018 and get it past the wife when I'm done then I'll be a happy boy!

 

All the best

 

Iain
