Sky Keg Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year to all!!!!! To steal this growing idea from others, here is my 2020 year of kits produced. I was able to “move” nine from the stash to the display cabinet. Here they are in order................. Special Hobby SMB2 Super Mystere ( January 20 ) Airfix Mig-17 Fresco ( February 17 ) Eduard Mig-21 PFM ( March 24 ) Italeri X-32 “Guppy” ( April 23 ) Hasegawa FB-111A ( May 11 ) Sword F3H-2 Demon ( August 12 ) Hasegawa P2V-7 Neptune ( November 29 ) Arma Hobby Yak-1B ( December 7 ) * Special thanks to Roman Schilhart!!! Eduard Spitfire Mk.XVI ( December 31 ) 2020 “Elephant Walk” / Group shot Here are some of my thoughts of the nine kits............. 1. Best : Eduard Mig-21 PFM 2. Most difficult : Sword F3H-2 Demon 3. Easiest : Italeri X-32 4. Most parts involved : Hasegawa FB-111A 5. Most detailed : Eduard Spitfire Mk.XVI & Mig-21 PFM 6. Most fun : Italeri X-32 7. Most difficult to paint : Airfix Mig-17 8. Most time consuming : Hasegawa FB-111A 9. Least time consuming : Arma Hobby Yak-1B 10. Best decals : Hasegawa P2V-7 Neptune ( Caracal set ) 11. Least satisfied : Airfix Mig-17 12. Most satisfied / favorite : Sword F3H-2 Demon The Sword Demon is my favorite of this group simply due to the effort it required to get it to a presentable state. My overall rating / opinion on a scale of 1-10........... 1. Sword F3H-2 Demon : 5 2. Hasegawa P2V-7 Neptune : 6 3. Airfix Mig-17 : 6 4. Special Hobby SMB2 Super Mystere : 7 5. Hasegawa FB-111A : 7 6. Arma Hobby Yak-1B : 7 7. Italeri X-32 : 8 8. Eduard Spitfire Mk. XVI : 8 9. Eduard Mig-21 PFM 9️⃣ Thank you for all of your feedback throughout the year.

Roman Schilhart Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Quite a happy flock you've rounded up, Mike! Despite the problems reported, the Neptune looks really good. The X-32 is among the ugliest flying machines I've ever seen - it looks almost surreal, even as a model! I like your finish and weathering on the Sword Demon! It's worth spending some extra time on difficult/complicated kits ... makes us grow wiser as modelers! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filbert_Wang Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 What a lovely collection of aircraft; really good variety and all of them look super impressive. Really like the scenic bases too. The Raven is a thing of beauty. That kit is getting on a bit now, how did it go together? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Strong collection and all nicely done models. Size comparison is my favourite theme. All is pretty much as expected but Demon's size is impressive. No surprise why this turned out as heavily underpowered. At the same time Super Mystere is fairly small. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Impressive 2020 production Mike, and I appreciate the short kit reviews at the end. The Sword Demon has to be my favorite, thanks for sharing that one, I don't think there are too many pics online of that model completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
