21 beauties  You're a bit partial to propellers, aren't you?

 

Ciao

There are some splendid models there Stew, especially the Spitfires and, in particular, the Malta one.

[CedB]

A lovely collection Stew and beautiful modelling. Looking forward to your 2017 builds!

[old thumper]

Nice crop of models, I think your Kate is my favorite one. Well done.

[Procopius]

My god, Stew, you, Ced and Cookie get better and better, and I get worse and worse. By this time next year I'll be working with tube glue and Humbrol starter paints, and you'll be building models that can fast taxi.

[PhantomBigStu]

21 is a good output by anyone's standard, and 21 of your high standard is very good indeed. 

[Cookenbacher]

It's only a matter of time before model companies get wise and start putting pictures of your builds on the boxes Stew! 

[Duncan B]

Very nice turn out but how did I manage to mis the splendid Ju88?

[JimHead23]

I'm looking forward to the Beaufighter

All fantastic builds Stew, I think I've just decided what I'm going to do with my early Beau conversion having seen yours, looks like I'm on a Coastal Command run this year! Great inspiration
