Dermot's 2022 builds

[Dermo245]

Hi everyone and hope you had a good Christmas with some kits under the tree!

Here's what I got finished for this year, a couple didn't quite make it but hope to finish them soon.  All are 1/72 except one!

 

Bandai's Poe Dameron X wing for a 'Movies & TV' group build. Was fully repainted but otherwise OOB.

That’s a great collection their. Really like the schwimwagon and as 90.

Love the scheme on the F5, the Japanese ensign on the tail really stands out and compliments the camo.

That is a really good looking year there Dermot, I recall many of your WiPs & how good they were. Nice going. 👍

A good year of great models. If it's in Irish markings it gets a 'like' from me, but that poorly Lynx is excellent.
