reini Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This is my year 2021. I built 16 kits total - which is 10 less than 2020.

Whofan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Lovely selection there Reini, especially your Special Hobby Wirraway; I've got their 1/72 Boomerang to do, I wondered if you'd got that to make a pair, so to speak? I might well think about getting a Wirrarawy to go with mine. And your F6F 5N, I did mine in UK livery but yours in its home colours looks super! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 @Whofan Thanks I hadn't thought about Boomerang, but now that you mention it sounds like a good idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Excellent builds. I don't have a favourite, they are all worthy of that accolade, but for 1/72 the finish on the Hellcat is close to perfect (to my eyes anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have found my preferred way of doing the USN Sea Blue finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
