fu_manchu Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I like the Hunters, but yes, the Skyraider does look good. The more I see of those, the more I want to try one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thank you all - I'm the same as you Mish - next year = quality over quantity (says me who will probably try for 30 kits again!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Bloody hell Andy, I wish I could get a kit finished let alone that many! I just dont have time. Nothing wrong with the quality either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I knew you'd built quite a few things this year, but I had no idea it would total up like that - how do you find the time? Love the autogyro and indeed all your inter-war oddities. It's a fine collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be very busy at work until April, so next year's output may be a bit less, Will - enjoyed this year thoiugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 What an insanely productive year, and you've managed to acheive the rare quality/quantity combo! My pick has to be that gorgeous BF108.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 All your builds are excellent. But I love the Revell Spitsfire (I recently got one of those kits and I've been toying with doing it stock or altering it a bit as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Superb work there. My top three are the B25, B26, and the Ju 52. Consistent quality throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprar Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Some cracking builds bud. I would be more than happy with the turn out of those mate, well done pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pte1643 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 That's a fair old output. Liking the Indian Hunter and that little "Bubble" Spit looks like a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Amazing output! All good - Hodad looks great! Other standouts for me are the Swiss Hunter and the Ju-52 - love both schemes. Intrigued by the red/silver demarcation across the wing - did you mask it across all the corrugations? Pick of the bunch for me tho' has to be the Autogyro - beautiful! cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
