I managed to complete 8 this year, albeit with two sets of near-duplicates and all 1/32 scale. First up was ICM's lovely little Fiat CR-42 from the nightfighter boxing of the kit:

Second was the Hasegawa FW190D-9 for the FW190 STGB

Sixth was Revell's re-pop of the Dragon BF110C, converted to a C-6 version using the AIMS set:

Which was swiftly followed by number seven, the Dragon kit of the BF110D:

@Col Walter E Kurtz Thanks Andy, it's Infini Lycra Thread and I recommend it, I believe Uschi van der Rosten have a similar product too :)

Are you going to stay with 1/32

 

Thanks Adrian, well I do have the Border Models 1/35 B5N Kate on pre-order, does that count? :D I think I will stay with the bigger scale kits for the duration, unless or until I run out of kits I want to build in those scales (which given my build rate and the number of kits already in my stash is somewhere between unlikely and vanishingly unlikely)

 

Cheers,

Great results!

The modelling in 1/32 scale is something what I thought in my youth (50 years ago) will be my part as well, after getting some necessarily practice in modelling by making models in 1/72. Now I know that it will never happen it this life. I feel that I need still to get more practice and I admire those who have it enough to do such works!  

Cheers
