Well, time for the usual year-end roundup.  2021 has been an odd year, but I got some more done:

 

First up, the 1/72 F4H-1 Phantom Prototype conversion, using no aftermarket parts:

A few challenges, but worth it.  For those interested, more pics  HERE  which will then link to the build thread proper.  Same process will be repeated for all the models...

 

Next up, the Curtiss A-18 Shrike resin build:

Thanks for looking and a great New Year to everyone!
