pacificmustang Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Well, my usual First-kit-of-the-year curse bit with a vengeance this year, as not only the kit I carried over from 2019 suffered a catastrophic matt coat fail, but in quick succession a ICM Do17 and Airfix Albion tanker fell by the wayside. In the case of the Do17, literally fell!! I glumly watched from the sidelines as my modelling mates completed build after build with no problems. An armour kit, the AFV Club 1/35 M60A2 provided my salvation, being the first to cross the finish line around about April Enhancements added were AFV Club tracks, (don't bother) and a master barrel for the M85, in addition to voyager antenna bases. A bit of a fiddly kit and I sold my remaining AFV Club M60, replacing it with the newer Takom kit. Next, inspired by a youtube video, commenced work on a Revell 1/48 Tornado ADV And then, for reasons still unknown, followed it with a second one And a third Tornado build! This one a GR4, built as a OP Telic jet, with Brassin and Reskit weapons Id seriously had it with Revell Tornadoes by the stage and sold my remaining Revell 48 scale Tornado, The Desert Babe boxing, which naturally got snapped up pretty quickly by a mate Final completed kit for the year was the IBG Models 1/35 Bedford QLT, not the most detailed kit, but still an enjoyable build A Safe and Merry Xmas to all fellow Britmodellers, wherever in the world you may be Bruce 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Should have included that Dornier tail Bruce - you were claiming it as a completion Nice work on all of those but the 2 vehicles are the pick I think. Both came out really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Glad you got through the curse and completed some cracking builds , the Tornados look amazing , congratulations. The IBG Bedford QL kits are lovely, I built a QLR which was very enjoyable model and looks pleasing to the eye. Your QLT looks great. Merry Christmas to you too, hope you can stay safe.
