DaveJL Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello all, Here are my builds from the past year. All 1/48, except the vehicles which are 1/35. Some were enjoyable, some not so much! First up was Italeri's A-10C, marked as a machine from the 354th Fighter Squadron deployed for Operation 'inherent Resolve' in 2017. More pictures here Next, was a dioramaI entitled 'Good to see you chaps, Jerry's over there' - Tamiya M4 Sherman and Italeri SAS jeep. The scene depicts an advance reconnaissance element of the SAS returning to friendly lines and directing the American tank toward some unsuspecting Germans in Normandy 1944. More pictures here Back to back vehicles are rare for me, but a second diorama for the year 'Tier 1 Special Missions Unit Sniper Team, Afganistan 2002' was next, based around Meng's pick up truck. More pictures here Back to a string of jets. Tamiya's F-16CJ marked as a CM from the 480th Fighter Squadron, deployed for Operation 'Inherent Resolve' in 2016. More pictures here The first of two F/A-18 Super Hornets was marked as a 166682 of VFA-213 'Black Lions' during 'Inherent Resolve' in 2017. Hasegawa's E/A-18G kit was used. More pictures here Revell's lovely Rafale M. More pictures here Revell's not-so-lovely Eurofighter Typhoon, marked as ZJ932 of XI (F) Squadron QRA. More pictures here The second Super Hornet, this time Hasegawa's F/A-18E, was marked as 168912 of VFA-87 'Golden Warriors.' This jet downed a Syrian Su-22 on the 18th June 2017. More pictures here The most exciting release of the year, for me, was Tamiya's F-14D. Not long after the first 4 I ordered arrived, I got stuck in. F-14D of VF-2 'Bounty Hunters' during Operation 'Iraqi Freedom' in 2003. More pictures here The biggest challenge of the year was without doubt the Hobbyboss Su-34. A lot of resin corrections and a lot of fit issues. In the end I was pleased with the result, despite setting it aside for weeks at a time. More pictures here Finally, Great Wall Hobby's Su-35s. Another lovely kit and a nice addition to my collection of twin seat Flankers. More pictures here Thanks to all the members who commented/followed my builds throughout the year.
