What a great collection! There are so many types that I was totally unaware of. Thanks for sharing.

Never knew that thing existed. Thanks for showing.

Not my scale, but I like all of them.

Those are all quality builds. Perfect finish!

The Ford is marvellous!

Awesome!

What an output and they all look great!

Great aircraft all. I love the P-39.

Great dioramas!

Great work on the V-bombers, I love the photo with the snow/clouds!

Great collection. I like the idea of a focus on one year in history.

I started the year with another B-17G (Revell): I was not so pleased with it. I sold it and built another one: I was pleased with it and it is in my cabinet. Next is SH Ju88 Recce: Eduard`s Mig 21 in egyptian nile valley camo: Here is my favourite of the year, MPM`s He177: And Tamiya`s Lancaster: Dragon`s Ju 188 torpedo-bomber with FuG 200 Hohentwiel: Hasegawa`s F104C Starfighter: These were my favourites of the year. I built some more, which were either commision builds or which I didn`t like that much. Thanks for looking and I wish you all a merry christmas and a healthy and happy new year Volker

I had also seen these photos. But Tamiya has window sealants in their decal set: https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/148-aircraft/f-4-phantom-ii-decal-set-a/ Volker

Hi, I have just started the Academy F-4B. I have got the phantastic window masks frm New Ware and they suggest to paint window sealants. (I used their set for the Corsair A-7 and it worked perfectly, including the yellow window sealants.) Now here is my question: Did the F-4B have visible window sealants? Most models I see built here do not have them, I cannot make them out in period photos either. But Tamiya wants them for their F-4B too. I would love to do them because they look cool. Would they be yellow? Or none at all? Regards Volker

That is very fine modelling. I hope you have the space to display her.

Awesome! Brillliant NMF finish and 1st class photography!

Awesome. Great paintjob and weathering. But please close the gap under the front window. Then it will be 100 points. (In cases like that I apply white glue with a brush, two times if necessary.)

A beautiful model of an ugly aircraft. Very well done!

Awesome. Magnificent weathering.

Perfectly clean finish, like you would expect from a swiss aircraft.

A brilliant model of an attractive aircraft. Well done!

I have never seen 1/100 model. Cool!

All black is probably the most difficult colour scheme to do. Your finish is perfect!

Here is my Starfighter, built from the old Hasegawa kit. To my opinion it is still a very good kit with excellent surface detail. OOB except for a Quickboost bangseat. Paint of the fuselage is Alclad II. At first I applied a thin layer of airframe aluminium (over a black base), which was far too dark. With another layer of chrome it came out fine. The dark parts of the fuselage and the wings were painted with gunze, panel line wash with Tamiya black wash, panel lines under the decals were highlighted with a soft pencil. Decals were difficult to wok with. They wouldn`t conform to the surface detail, even with decal softener. Photography has never been easy for me. The first photo was taken with artificial light, the others in bright sunlight. Results are varying. Thanks for looking Volker

Great result. Everybody loves a starfighter and yours is awesome.
