The second build of 2013 was this 1/32 Dragon Early production P-51D Mustang. Or known by it's other name........the worst POS kit in the world!!! You may be able to guess that I did not like it very much!!

Anyway, after lots of trials and tribulations............I got it finished. Here's how it turned out:

Third project of the year was something a little different.............................My son and I are big Star Wars fans and I fancied having a go at making a dio of a lightsabre duel. After finding some nice figures, they were repainted and a base was made. A very fun project!

Number 4 this year was...................1/72 Italeri Dakota in RAF BBMF markings. I was inspired to build the model after the real aircraft flew over my house last summer!

Last but not least for 2013 was this highly enjoyable Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR XIX. This was great fun to work on! After my last build, I decided to make this Spitfire as a BBMF Sqn member in D Day marking's.

So there goes another year's output from my bench. Hope you enjoyed the show!

All the best,

Darren. :thumbsup:

Some really nice models there,........my favourite is the Sea Hurricane, although the real aircraft didn`t actually have a hook fitted and never set wheels on an aircraft carrier! It was a fighter trainer based at Yeovilton and was basically a Hurricane Mk.I which may have had a few naval additions like the radio.

My lad loved your Star Wars battle!

Cheers

Thanks Tony!

You know your stufff! The Sea Hurricane was a gift from a good mate and although it is not accurate, I wanted it "hooked" in those markings. A mad idea I know-but it was fun! I am hoping to get my hands on the Italeri Sea Hurricane sometime in the future.

I'm glad your lad liked the Star Wars dio-it was great fun to build something "cool" for my son. It's certainly one of his favourites!
