Strangeways Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Quite a prolific year for me (I generally average about 6). There are more 1/72 subjects than usual, I've really enjoyed building in the smaller scale. ICM 1/72 Ki-27 HobbyBoss 1/72 Bf109G in captured USAF markings Trumpeter 1/144 A-50 Mainstay Huma 1/72 Arado Ar-80 (built and finished in a 10 hour period) HobbyBoss 1/72 Bf109E in captured RAF colours (the reversed swastika's correct for the scheme) Airfix 1/72 DH Chipmunk Airfix 1/72 BN Defender (Islander) AZModels 1/72 Ki-28 (prototype in spurious scheme) Revell 1/144 Hunter in Swiss 'Papyrus' scheme Revell 1/72 F-22 Raptor Trumpeter 1/72 Hawker Sea Fury in Canadian markings Eduard 1/48 F6F Hellcat Xtrakit 1/72 Gloster Meteor F8 TT Revell 1/72 Avro Lancaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Very nice. I particularly like the Lanc and F-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jase Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 All absolutely stunning builds. Goes to show it's quality and not quantity that counts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notdoneyet Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 All beautiful builds Mike I'm particularly fond of the Chipmunk and Meteor ...... Mmmmmm dayglo. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmojen Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Beautiful work, I love them all. I really, really, really can't pick a favourite! Top work all round Ringo Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith in the uk Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Great work and very well photographed , i like the Chipmonk and Lancaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 all of them look great. I like especially the Meteor, a good idea with the motion-blurred runway markings! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Difficult to pick a favorite, but it has to be the Meteor for the great take-off motion blur, and the Lanc for all those lovely footprints on the wing tops. Nice year's work Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius at Home Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Superb work as ever Mike - my favourite is the Chipmunk, but the Lancaster is almost as gorgeous. Darius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 A very eclectic collection, very difficult to pick a favourite as others have said. The Hunter and Lanc probably just shade it, though. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahross Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Superb. My favourite has to be the Sea Fury. Excellent. Ross Edited December 20, 2008 by mahross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Great builds Mike, and I'm still inspired by your Ki-10 which was in MAI - I've got one painted but haven't yet tried to rig it...

dogsbody Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Great work, Mike. I may have to pick up one of those HobbyBoss 109's. It looks pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Everyone's a stunner, seriously good. Chipmunk and Islander for me, don't see them very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I still love that Chipmunk, but tbh they're all built to a consistantly high level and all look absolutely fantastic. A real nice mix of subjects too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Great stuff, I like your style - the chipmunk is excellent but I can't believe anyone could build a Huma kit in 10 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
