zebra Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 2017 was a pretty good modelling year for me. Nine completed - nearly 10 but some decals let me down, this one will be finished in the 2018 KUTA group build - 6 Britmodeller group builds entered, just 2 on the shelf of doom. I started the year by finishing the Modelsvit Beriev Be-12 - loved building this kit. Having developed a taste for Amodel/Modelsvit kits, and got a couple for Christmas, I moved on to the Amodel 1/72 Tu-134A, finished in the colours of the Kazakhstan Ministry of Emergency Situations. A first for me - home-made decals. Next was the 1/48 Prone Position Metoer - Airfix kit with Brigade Models conversion - which I built in the Prototypes, Experimentals etc group build. Back to Russia for the next one - the Bobcat 1/48 Yak-28P Firebar. Can't wait to get my hands on the Brewer to go next to it. This one was in the 70s NATO vs Warsaw Pact group build. More from Amodel next with an Antonov double build - An-24T and An-30 - in the From Russia With Love group build. I think I need an An-26 and an An-32 sitting next to these two. First was the An-24T in the colour scheme it wore at the 1967 Paris Air Show. I loved the mustard colour! And the An-30 in Mongolian Airlines colours - home-made decals again for this one. Revel's little 1/144 146-200 next, using F-DCAL's Manx Airlines decals. Another GB entry - this time in the Made in Britain group build. Back to Russia again for the Xuntong 1/48 Tu-2T. This one was in the Radial Engines Rock group build. Finished the year with Airfix's lovely 1/48 Walrus - I'll be building more of these. Another first for me - first time I've rigged a biplane. This one was in the Flying Boats and Floatplanes group build. That's it for 2017. Roll on 2018. If I finish half of what I have planned for next year it'll be another good year! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
