Hello all im going to display my total output for 2017. Ive only been a Forum member since June of this year. I'm not sure if it should be models completed after joining. If im in the wrong please except it as ignorance.

     Starting early this year I finished the Revell super bug F-18E in a US Navy Centennial paint scheme. I chose to do VFA-192 Golden Dragons and went for a Dark sea blue scheme. This probably counts more as a whif as im not sure if they actually wore the scheme in 2011.4ENwzEk.jpg

An A-10 USMC whif. In the markings of VMFA-451. I actually did scratchbuild the arresting gear, a retractable refuelling Probe, and scored the wings to represent a wing fold. I just dont have a photo of all of it. I have a double nose wheel for it that will get grafted on soon. 9aby81r.jpg

When your a general you get to pick your own plane. I did my P-61 in General Earl Barnes of 13th AF the plane was pulled from and crewed by the 550thNF Sq. The only bare metal P-61 in the war. AM0tIWe.jpg

The next up was an old Monogram F-20 Tigershark. I opted to do a Whif Air Nat’l. Guard  plane  using F-16 Decals From the Indiana ANG.

Then on to a Hasegawa -5 Corsair one of two that I've done this year. The first from VMA-212 in Korea.

The second -5 was an 5NL all weather model based at Glenview N.A.S. Circa 1956.RnfD0u8.jpg

I was tired of all blue so I went for a different scheme. blv49L6.jpg

After the two corsairs I went with Tamiyas F4f wildcat. I opted to build a Martlet V in 1944. I forget the name of the carrier but it was used in one of the April raids on Tirpitz in Norway. pNHaD7i.jpg

Thinking about this it does seem I build a lot of Hasegawa kits. I did this year as i was given a large number of kits from my Friends stash i did build several other kits mostly old Monogram. They will be added later as i dont have photos of those or my KUTA Build. Next up is this FG1. There is an RFI for this. Y9RNyXm.jpg

Thank you Ed I had the oppurtunity  of going to a large # of air shows at Glenview over the years. I was able to get in and see aircraft sometimes before the general public, as i would be outside the gate at 6-7 am waiting to get in. It was my way of honoring a long gone Chicago base and also doing a very rare gull grey corsair.
