JBs 2022. The Year of the Group Build.

[Jb65rams]

 

Reviewing my completed builds, I found all but one was built as parts a Group Build.

 

Matchbox GB. 1/72 Helldiver (SBC-4 & SB2C)

Matchbox GB. 1/76 M19 Tank Transporter and M24 Chaffee Tank

Matchbox GB. 1/76 Panzer II Ausf-F

F/A-18 STGB. 1/48 Revell F/A-18F

 

MiG 21 STGB. 1/48 Eduard MiG-21.

 

Turning Japanese. 1/48 Tamiya Nakajima A6M2-N Type 2 Floatplane Fighter

 

Century Series. 1/72 Revell F-100 Voodoo

 

Century Series. 1/72 Italeri F-104 Starfighter

 

Revell-Monogram . 1/32 Grumman F3F-3

Canadian. 1/48 Airfix Vampire F3

F-5 STGB. 1/48 Trumpeter T-38 Talon ‘NASA’

 

Blitzbuild. 1/700 Trumpeter SS John W. Brown Liberty Ship.

 

PRRRS. 1/72 Xtrakit Saunders-Roe SRA/1

 

The one non group build completion, Tamiya 1/35 ‘Easy Eight’ Sherman Tank.

 

I think the Sherman is my favourite build of the year. I still enjoy the GBs but think I need to tweak the ratio between GBs and non-GBs going forwards so I am not always building against a deadline.

A cracking quality collection but that Hornet. Oh man that is truly gorgeous.

I'm having a GB year in 23 much like this. Your high standards didn't seem to be affected by the deadlines. I hope to do as well as you.

Great output, they certainly look fantastic, love that Airfix Vampire. 

Great work

That Korean War Sherman is my favourite too, although I'm also drawn towards the little Matchbox dioramas too. A great collection all round!
