Fifer54 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 As the title says, a quiet year for me. My partner's and my own health, work issues and a general loss of interest have all got in the way. So without further ado, here are my completed models for 2018 (in no particular order!) First up, the Special Hobby 1/72 Blackburn Roc, built for BM's "Brits Abroad" GB as a machine from the aborted sale of Rocs to Finland. Emhar's Mk.IV tank in 1/72 from WW1 was a reminder of a visit to the Tank Museum, Bovington, where I sat in this very tank (the real one, you understand, not the model) The old Airfix Seafire Mk. 47 in 1/48 crossed the bench, albeit finished in an impossible "one folded" pose Another ancient FROG kit was their 1/72 Armstrong, Whitworth Whitley Mk.V A well-documented captured aircraft that currently resides at the USA's National Museum of the US Air Force was built from Italeri's Junkers JU-88A-4 in 1/72 Revell's reboxing of ICM's 1/72 Heinkel He70F-2 wasn't a bad build, although I had actually expected to find Matchbox plastic in the box! More vintage modelling with FROG, whose 1/72 Lockheed P-38J/L Lightning fought me all the way! The year's only "what-if", Hellers F-84G Thunderjet, built as an aircraft of the Royal Yugoslavian Air Force. Here is the Italeri 1/72 Douglas C-47 Skytrain. the Airfix kit in 1/72 of the Kamov Ka-25 was a "Kitswap" find at SMW some years ago . . . Another SMW find was Heller's Fouga Magister in a special boxing with Irish Air Corps decals. Another vintage FROG kit was this 1/72 Douglas A-4 Skyhawk in RNZAF markings And lastly, two little tanks, Italeri's M4A1 (left) and Mirage Hobby's M3A1 (right) And that, ladies & gentlemen, is it for this year! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer54 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 OOps, no that isn't quite all for this year! How I forgot to include this I don't know- only just completed, a vintage FROG kit, their 1/72 Fairey Barracuda And since my desk is now clear, I'm about to start a Revell (FROG) Shackleton for the Maritime GB, a Mistercraft Aichi "Val", and a HobbyBoss Dewoitine D.520, all in 1/72, but I don't believe any will be finished by Hogmanay. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 That's a quiet year? Nice to see the classic kits being built, rather than hidden in attics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
