Couple of qualifying entries in my stash Me262B, P-61 Black Window, and a few others - it's time. Picture added 06 Dec 2017.

All your questions answered here: - well my kit had no etch http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/48914-italeri-messerschmitt-bf110g4/ Kit doesn't contain bullet proof screen either.

Reporting in for duty with this Airfix Tomahawk. As yet unopened Can anyone let me know if this kit has a pilot figure?

And now for my previous P-40s. First the Academy P-40E. Next the Academy P-40M. Academy P-40B Flying Tiger. Airfix P-40E - with Academy decals. Another Airfix - can't remember the source for those decals, BUT SharkMouth.

In with this Fujimi 1/72 Sea King. Most likely an OOB build

Setting out my stall with this recent Airfix Tomahawk II kit. As yet unopened. This will be an OOB build - unless other decals come my way

I've just collected an Airfix fabric wing Hurricane from Hepster. Aldi special - thanks Rob. This is the survivor residing in the Science Museum, and a veteran of Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain. I'm in!

Bidding you all farewell, have fun with the rest of the GB, this is Tim signing out. These are the photos I've just posted to the gallery.

Tim's build, Airfix 1/72 Lightning F2A from the recent kit. Build thread: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234971425-tims-airfix-lightning-f2a/ This is the 92 Squadron option in natural metal finish.

This brings back so many memories of my uncle's 1966 Seven from about 1971 - his was that green as well, with the curved wings. That fixed seat, aluminium interior, and that engine looks familiar as well. His had a 1500 Cosworth engine with two twin coke Weber carburetors. Very low to the ground, it was VERY fast. Biggest problem was that it broke at least two axles in the about two years he had it.

Original post edited - Airfix Lightning added.

Missiles and completion. Photos are a bit rushed, so I'll take better for the gallery.

Up early this morning to complete those decals. Loads of them. And underneath. Missiles are also painted and decalled - launching tonight.

Guns installed, nosering foiled, and undercarriage installed. And here she is up on her pins. Just remaining decals and missiles left now.

Not according to Scalemates. https://www.scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=132710 Not in the one that I built I understand that Commando was very much a one-off aircraft, notably with round engine cowlings. Others will have further details

Canopy fitted, Did require a little trimming, Framed Full afterburner - hoping to finish this weekend.

Here's a link to an airliner conversion that I did in 2009: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=178434 Others have mentioned the wing fences. I left alone the engine mounts.

This has been talked about previously: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234915421-f-5-lightning/ and http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234964161-revell-p-38-lm-to-f-5-recon-lightning/ And here's my non-specific F-5B, at altitude in that Azure Blue scheme

Wonderful looking model - well done Orion. I've got one of these built, and another bagged Revell kit in the stash. Very tempted to start it now.

Excellent models as always Fred - wise investments for your kids. Hope you feel better about 2015, when that's drawing to a close.

Great result Tony, and the build thread for reference. I've got that kit tucked away in my stash, and an old set of Revell decals for that overall scheme.

My previous best was 20 completions during 2008 - 26 now for 2014. Anyway in chronological order my I present my output for 2014: 1. Airfix Vampire T11 Training Types GB 2. Airfix Gnat T1 Training Types GB 3. Revell Sea Hurricane IIc 4. Revell Hurricane IIb 5. Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer S2B RAF Less Than a Tenner GB 6. Airfix Spitfire Ia 7. Airfix fabric-wing Hurricane Ia 8.

At least one non-aircraft, GMC trucks and Saturn V At least one 48 scale, Buccaneer. At least one other non-72 scale, Saturn. And now at least one FAA. Sea Hurricane, Firefly and Seafires. Also I repainted a Revell Hurricane I to this Sea Hurricane And I re-painted and modified this old Airfix Typhoon, to a car door version.

It's something I read about in Fine Scale Modeller, and have seen at Telford. I use the dusting (fingerprint) powder, but it's similar to SJN polishing powder. My technique is to airbrush the subject in silver, then when it's almost dry, I rub in the dusting powder with a cotton bud. Still wet - and I get a gooey mess. Too dry and the powder doesn't stick - I usually allow about an hour's drying time. First time I done this in a long time - I'm quite pleased with the results. I then allow another 4-5 hours setting in the airing cupboard, then a really thin quick coat of Klear to seal prior to decals. I applied it with an old tee-shirt on this occasion. Anyway I applied the major decals tonight.

Dr Tim - specialising in surgery. But this morning I ventured into a VERY COLD shed with my airbrush. Looking a bit dull, I rubbed on some dusting powder, before unmasking. Going for decals later tonight.

Fujimi 1/72 Messserschmitt Bf110C-1 of ZG76.
