Could you possibly have a soft spot for RAF aircraft?

Great work, especially on the Boston, which is a rather tricky kit to build!

Thanks. Yes - I was working on a theme which meant that they were all RAF and had to be 1/72. 

 

After those I needed something different so my current build is the 1/48 HobbyBoss F4F-3 Wildcat - from the yellow wings period. That's assuming I can get the painting and masking right!

A great collection.  The Mosquito in particualr is a beauty.

A really nice line up, one I'd have been happy to called my own.

Some very nice models.  Congratulations on wrestling the MPM/Special Hobby A-20 into submission: I'm working on 2 at the moment and feel your pain.  I'm also struck by how nice your Airfix Spitfire Vb has turned out: it always was a good kit, much better than some of its would-be replacements, and you've shown there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
