Navy Bird Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Hi mates, Here are all the models I finished in 2012. Seven kits in 12 months - that's a little less than two months each, time that I will never be able to get back. Unless, of course, time spent modelling is not deducted from your life span. If that's the case, I will be posting this kind of stuff for another 75 years or so.1:72 English Electric Lightning Mk 2a, completed in February of 2012 Trumpeter/Matchbox/Aires/Quickboost/Eduard et al Kitbash 1:72 Hawker Hurricane Mk II, completed in February of 2012 Revell 1:72 Grumman F-14D Tomcat, completed in March of 2012 Hasegawa 1:72 Hawker Hunter F.6, completed in May of 2012 Revell 1:72 Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2, completed in July of 2012 CMR 1:72 North American Mustang III, completed in August of 2012 Revell 1:72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero, completed in November of 2012 Airfix 1:72 de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 (TT), completed in December of 2012 MPM/Xtrakit That's it for 2012 - see you next year!

David H Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Very impressive body of work, Bill. I found your build of the Trumpeter Frightening (theres an appropriate term!) very instructive. The Buccanneer was pretty cool but believe it or not i really like the Zero. Something about the orange yellow undersides make it very eye catching. As for me, one model done. Resolving to not start any new projects till i clear away some of the stuff from my Shelf of Doom. Cheers, d-bot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi Uncle. Great selection of builds you made, I particularly love the Pirate and the Foxy Lady but then I'm a sucker for FAA subjects. Congratulations. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Great builds there Bill, hard to belive they are 1/72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Exquisite workmanship I say. The quality finish belies the scale of these models. I wish I could waste my time as well as you do ! Thanks for posting. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 You know Bill, when I look at yours models I really think I am 'wasting' my time because they'll never look as good as those.And you don't have to put the paint pots in there to remind me their 1/72 that's just rubbing salt into the wound. Great builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buccymad Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 they are all pretty top notch but the show stopper for me is the vixen!! (might have been the buccaneer if it was painted in"propper" royal air force colurs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 All of those are superb builds Bill, hard to pick a favourite! Having another look though, it has to be the sea vixen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Superb Bill! A stunning display of time wasting! All fab builds but that Lightning takes it for me - great re-work and the best squadron scheme worn by them (except maybe 111sqn!) Hope to see more time wasted this year! cheers Rick.
