Stew Dapple Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I haven't had a particularly busy year, but one full of oddities in both scale and subject, given that I usually build 1/72 WW2 aircraft. Some of this year's efforts were one or the other, some were neither. Anyway I finished a solid 8 kits this year, rather less than what I consider the ideal number (which I arbitarily set at 12 in my mind) but I can at least cop out on the grounds that some of them were 'biggies' 1. Eduard 1/72 Mig-15, Blue 611 of the Forţele Aeriene ale Republicii Populare Română, or Romanian Air Force, built for the 50s NATO v Warsaw Pact group build: Build thread here and gallery pics here 2. and 3. Airfix 1/72 Spitfire 22 Royal Egyptian Air Force and Syrian Air Force, with Tigerhead Decals: RFI pics here 4. Matchbox 1/72 Heinkel He115B-1 with decals from the Revell re-issue of the kit: Build thread here, RFI pics here 5. HobbyBoss 1/32 Republic F-84G Thunderjet - Armee de l'Air Build thread here, RFI pics here 6. Hasegawa 1/32 Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien 'Tony': RFI pics here 7. Hasegawa 1/32 Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki 'Tojo': RFI pics here 8. Hasegawa 1/32 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate 'Frank': RFI pics here ... and that's me. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of yous Cheers, Stew 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Wonderful builds Stew! Perhaps your Spitfire 22's will inspire Airfix to re-issue the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Great collection Stew 👍 Will you continue with 1/32 builds or revert to the gentleman's scale for next year?

Thank you very much Ced; happy I can hope for, but with the price of 1/32 scale kits and my predisposition toward spendthriftery I have to accept that prosperous is pretty unlikely On 12/25/2019 at 7:49 AM, corsaircorp said: Great collection Stew !! still sad that we did'nt met in Telford... CC Thanks very much CC, the sad thing is I believe at one point we were in the same area at the same time, but perhaps next year On 12/25/2019 at 12:12 PM, Cookenbacher said: Wonderful builds Stew!

Cheers Greg Thanks very much Greg; most of my stash acquisition this year has been 1/32 so I do hope I will continue with the 1/32 builds, but I haven't given up on 1/72 altogether and if the right subject and the urge coincide... 13 hours ago, Antb said: Super builds Stew!
