Avereda’s doomish 2019

[Avereda]

Not done one of these before but as my back’s going to keep me away from the bench until the New Year I may as well have a go.

 

First up a finisher in the Grumman GB. 1/72 Airfix F4F-4 Wildcat

 

 

Then a Dinah in different colours, one of several builds rescued from doom this year. The ancient 1/72 Airfix Mitsubishi Ki-46 Dinah in captured TAIC colours.

 

 

Thirdly a Swiss Mustang, again revived from a GB failure. 1/72 Airfix North American Mustang IV Starter Set in Swiss trainer colours and badly out of register markings.

 

 

Next another GB gallery entry - 1/72 Airfix Willy’s Airborne Jeep

 

 

And finally, a Wildcatfish. 1/48 HobbyBoss F4F-3S Wildcatfish finished the second time round in the Floatplanes GB.

 

 

A so-so year in terms of completion but I’m generally happy with the results. I’m retiring at the end of January 2020 but much time will be taken up with house moving so I’m not predicting a better 2020 yearbook.

There may only be a few but the quality is first rate! Hope 2020 goes well for you.......and that maybe you'll get some time to do some more modelling!

Kind regards,

Stix

Steve, all the best for the New Year, let’s hope the modelling goes better than the football.

The Wildcatfish might be my favourite although looking back they all had their moments. New career - I may be looking at part time work come May 2020, nothing ruled in or out as yet.

Kind words gents, maybe I’ll try something with an archaeology theme for JD next year and I should definitely have a go at a tank in the Plastix-stylee.

Thanks, nice comments from quality modellers. Just need to get my back sorted and I’ll be at the bench again. Happy new year to you all.

New shed arriving in November so I might be back at the bench before Christmas it’s been ahem a while.
