Beard Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Didn't make as many this year as in 2016, hopefully 2018 will see me finish more kits. Anyway, here's what I did. Brengun Spitfire V floatplane (from the Flying Boats and Floatplanes Group Build) Airfix Spitfire I converted to Va, using bits in the Series Two boxing and DK Decals. Sword Spitfire XIVe Sword Spitfire XIVc Airfix Series I Spitfire AZ Spitfire MkV converted to a MkIb Sword Seafire III Airfix Hurricane I Spitfire Vb (the old Airfix kit) AZ Spitfire IX Eduard Hellcat II Airfix Spitfire I Therell be more to come, as I haven't taken photographs of all the completed builds and there's a few that are on the cusp of being finished. Thanks for looking. Edited December 20, 2017 by Beard 1) to add more photographs. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Excellent work on all of these 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 You always choose the best subjects Simon (often Spitfires!) I think the Sword XIV's and Seafire III are my favourites. Of Course, that AZ IX sure looks good in the high altitude scheme, and the smooth gloss finish on the Hellcat is very impressive paint work, then there are the Hurricanes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Back in my flight sim days the Tempest was my absolute favorite late war fighter to fly. Yours looks really good. That Seafire is really cool too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 That's a very respectable finish rate Simon, albeit with the corollary that your stash may well have increased by a greater amount than the sum of your completions (which is perfectly normal by the way, don't let anyone tell you different ) I think I detect an apparent slight tendency toward Spitfires but for me your Beau is a standout Of course that might be because I love Beaufighters. Cheers, Stew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 A superb collection of Spits, Hurries etc. Congrats on completing the Sword XIV. That must be the most disappointing kit I've bought for some time. Half built it's going back in its box, possibly forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
