CliffB's dozen

As usual, my output in 2016 was largely driven by Group Builds (thanks guys :thumbsup2:), and club competitions.  All are 1/72, apart from the last one.  In chronological order there was....

 

1. A 'New York Airways' S-61L,  which combines a Transport Wings vac-formed fuselage and white metal parts, with bits from the old Airfix Sea King kit.  Originally started in the 2015 Sea King STGB, I finally finished it as a KUTA.

2. A Bolivian 'Chaco War' Vickers Mark E tank, using the Mirage kit.  Part of the Made In Britain GB.

3. An Egyptian de Havilland DH.60G 'Gipsy Moth', using the (very) old FROG kit.  Another Made in Britain GB entry.

4.  A civil registered Westland Scout, in its retained ex ETPS 'Raspberry Ripple' scheme.  It's the Airix kit, with Airwaves vac-formed canopy and PE parts.  Built for the Helicopter GB.

5. A Bulgarian Su.25 'Frogfoot'.  An old Revell kit, with Linden Hill decals.  Built for the 1980's NATO Europe v Warsaw Pact GB.

11. A 'Galettes St.Michel' Mauboussin Corsaire from the Dujin resin kit with home made decals.  Built for the Vignette GB to replicate a period photograph (1950s).

A great year Cliff, I've enjoyed watching your builds come together. What will 2017 bring? 

 

Thanks DAG058 :).  As for 2017, there will be two unfinished 2016 KUTA builds for starters!

Great collection Cliff, highlights for me: that New York chopper; the Harrier trainer & the three lovely little single engine interwar machines - very nice!

Really nice work Cliff. All very nicely done. Especially fond of the tiny little Wasp and the wonderful loooking Tiger Moth. Andrew

Every one a stunner Cliff. The Harrier should be my favourite but the Moth and Klemm are just too lovely ;) 

 

 

Thank you gentlemen for your kind comments, which are much appreciated :)

Nice year's worth! I love the Gypsy Moth and I was lucky enough to see the Galettes St Michel vignette in the flesh at Telford - you had stepped away from the stand.

 

Regards,

Adrian

 

Thanks Adrian - I'm sorry that I missed you.
