[hsr]

Here is my year in models. 25 built and one more in process that should be done by the end of the week.

First March kit is a PB-1W using the Academy B-17G and RVHP conversion. 

Second March kit is the Anigrand XA-41

RFI

First kit for April is an OP-2E using the Hasegawa P2V-7 and the Blackbird conversion

I did a WIP for this 

and an RFI

Second kit for April was the Sharkit X-14

RFI

First Kit for May was the a YOV-10D using the Academy OV-10D kit as a basis for the conversion. The MPC kit is useless.

RFI

Second June build was the Octopus/Pavla F7F-3N

 RFI

First build for July was the Sword AD-4W

RFI

On to August with the first build being the Italeri F4U-7/AU-1 with a few mods

RFI

Second August build was the Eduard F6F-5N. A truly excellent kit

RFI

I was able to squeeze in the Dragon P-38M as a third build for August. Another disappointing kit

RFI

September was another 3 build month. First up was the Special Hobby F2G-1. Bad kit.

RFI

Second was the Sword TBM-3S2.

RFI

Third was the Italeri F4U-5N

RFI

The only kit for October was a P2V-5 using the Hasegawa P2V-7 and the Blackbird conversion

November started with a kitbash of the Revell and Italeri F4U-4 kits

I did a WIP for this

That ended my blue (plane) period, and started my white plane period.

 

Second November was the Special Hobby D-558-2

RFI

Third November was the Aviastone/Alliance X-2

RFI

First build for December as the MPM X-4
