reini Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi there! This year I re-started my modelling and was to do all of the century series jet fighters. Now, I didn't quite got there as I got sidetracked every now and then But I still got nice collection of cold war era jets in my shelf - plus some extra WW2 stuff mostly for my dad's collection. January 2019 1. Italeri 1/72 F-100D Super Sabre My first model I've finished since I was a kid. I started this summer 2018 but finally finished it early 2019. February 2019 2. Revell 1/72 F-84G Thunderstreak Model was pretty bad as was my building & painting of it. Did it really fast. Move on... March 2019 3. Airfix 1/72 A-4B Skyhawk Was pretty happy about this, model went together really nicely. Forgot nose weight, so it's standing on it's tail hook... April 2019 4. Hasegawa 1/72 Saab 37 Viggen Was pretty unhappy to find out that the model was actually based on the prototype - not the actual production plane. But I made the best out of it, made it look like the prototype. Not a very good kit. April 2019 5. Hasegawa 1/72 RF-101C Voodoo While both are old Hasegawa - liked this a lot more than the Viggen. Was bit of a work though, but I put my best effort on this one. 13.5. 2019 6. Trumpeter 1/72 F-105D Thunderchief Was pretty nice & detailed kit. Definitely want to do more vietnam-builds - it was my ambition as a kid to collect vietnam-era planes but I never got around actually building many of the kits back then. 14.5.2019 7. Hawk 1/72 Javelin Very old & basic model based on a prototype Javelin as far as I know. I just built the model as-is straight from the box not worrying much about references & such. Such a cool plane, need to do a 'proper' build of it someday. 31.5.2019 8. Monogram 1/48 F-102A Delta Dagger Such a cool & big plane. This one goes to my dad's collection - I picked this up from his stash. He does WW2 stuff only but has few others in the mix that I can pretty freely pick up as long as I return the finished product in his shelf 30.6.2019 9. Meng Models 1/72 F-102A Delta Dagger Now I did enjoy this - such a nice model with nice details. 19.7.2019 10. Trumpeter 1/72 Su-15TM Flagon I think interceptors are cool - and wanted a 'red' Delta Dagger on my shelf, so I did the Flagon. 19.7.2019 11. KP 1/72 MiG-23M Flogger Bit light on the 'red' planes, Flogger joined the party. Not particularly fond of the model or my make of it. But it will do. 24.7.2019 12. Special Hobby 1/72 Vampire Mk.52 I'm a finn but it took me this long to do a finnish air force plane. Have many on my stash but somehow something else always found it's way on the table. Such a nice kit this Special Hobby! 11.8.2019 13. Italeri 1/72 F-104C Starfighter Was just continuing my Century Series builds - but this was such a cool plane with interesting history that I got stuck with it and wanted to do more! 21.8.2019 14. Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer This was long in the making - but I took my time with it. Was my first plane with some after market parts (resin nose & tail, cockpit etch etc.). I am pretty happy about the end result even if the details are not quite up to par with modern models. 21.8.2019 15. Revel 1/72 F-104G Starfighter Another Starfighter! This time by Revell. Bit more detailed than the Italeri - but I think I enjoyed building the Italeri more. 28.8.2019 16. Hobbycraft 1/48 F7U Cutlass This was such a painful build where everything seemed to go wrong and I just wanted it off my build table as fast as possible. Honestly, the kit was not that bad but things just didn't work out this time 17.9.2019 17. Hasegawa 1/72 F-104S Starfighter Another Starfighter, this time by Hasegawa and finished in Italian colours. Will be my go-to kit once I start building more 1/72 Starfighters (which will happen ). 15.9.2019 18. Accurate Miniatures 1/48 A-36 Apache Dive bomber Mustang. I started this kit maybe 5 years ago when I was about to start modelling again but it not quite stick that time. Was waiting around with it's primier on - was nice to finish this after such a long time. And this was my first airbrushed model - all before this are finished with a hairy stick. 20.9.2019 19. Monogram 1/48 B-24 Liberator My wife suggested that I could build something for the living room - but it couldn't be anything small or modern (as in the things I normally do - jet fighter=too modern ) . So I picked old Monogram Liberator from my dad's stash and it's hanging from our living room ceiling as we speak. My wife got a say in the decals & paintjob - wouldn't want it to clash with the decor! 1.10.2019 20. Eduard 1/72 MiG-21MF Fishbed Probably my favourite build of the year - both how the kit was to build and the actual finished product. Nice adversary for the Starfighter too, have couple more MiG-21's in my stash waiting. 15.10.2019 21. Revell 1/48 F-89D Scorpion This big Scorpion was not a problem free build but still very enjoyable anyways. 14.11.2019 22. 1/72 Airacobra Do not know the manufacturer. I picked this up from my kits that I built as a kit and broke it down a bit more. Just a fun & quick build and playing around with all kinds of stuff making the plane look like it's made a crash landing in a jungle. ... maybe couple more this year? We will see It's been a good modelling year so far! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
