825 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) A pair of Airfix Martlet IVs. Both from HMS Formidable during Operation Torch. One with US stars from 888 Squadron FAA, and the other with wings folded from 893 Squadron (not 888 as per Airfix instructions.) http://village.photos/images/user/c313ebc3-aec6-4f08-a7b5-adc9f4ef3d9b/resized_74b1cf41-afe0-43eb-bcef-60422ec6e34e.JPG And last but not least a trio of British and Commonwealth CMP 15 cwt trucks from Plastic Soldier that I put together in some down time in the summer. Seventeen completions, including the trio of trucks. I think that's the most I've ever achieved. Thanks everyone on BM for advice and support over the year. I hope you all have a Happy and prosperous New Year. Edited December 31, 2017 by 825 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Make that 18. I realised I only had a little to do to finish my Sea Gladiator from the Matchbox GB. So here is N5500 of 769 Squadron FAA at RNAS Donibristl in 1939. Matchbox Gladiator with prop and arrestor hook cannibalised from a Pavla boxing. Transfers from a Model Alliance Wings & Waves sheet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 You've had a brilliant year of modelling, i'm only only slightly jealous, those are a super line up. The Sea Balliol might be Special hobby rather than Hobby Boss might it? The box looks a lot like the SH one I have. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some cheats with the Hobbyboss Quick kits, mind the Sea Hornet did take a lot of work. You are correct about the Baliol, it is Special Hobby not Hobbyboss. I've edited it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
