mikeew Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) I thought i'd start the ball rolling with my modelling output for the year. I have been quite prolific this year after never normally managing to reach double figures! First one finished for this year for me was the Revell 1/72 F-22 Raptor... Next one I build was the Revell 1/72 Junkers Ju290A-5 "Seeadler". Bit of a baptism of fire this one, as it was built to a deadline for Southern Expo and my first real go at freehand mottling. Third build was a quickie, just a bit of fun really to get more practice on this Luftwaffe lottling lark. revell 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109G-10 OOB Number four was a Tamiya 1/48 Douglas F4D Skyray which I built for the World Naval Forces GB over on BM. Next was a Blitzbau, built within a 24hr period for the GB over on UAMF forum AMT Speeder Bike Had fun n games with masking tape and blue paint for the sixth of the year. ICM 1/72 Heinkel He70 Nice short run build for SAM makes up number seven. Valom 1/72 Handley Page Hereford. The 8th build of the year was the Hasegawa 1/72 Bristol Beaufighter "Green Ghost" again review for SAM. Another review build for SAM was the ICM 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 Nightfighter was No.9 Xtrakit's 1/72 Meteor T.Mk.7 fought me along the way for build number 10 I had a fun build with No.11 with a complete resin kit from Silver Cloud in the form of the 1/72 Avro 720 mixed power interceptor, a true "What if?" Anigrands Craftworks 1/72 resin kit of the ill-fated Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne helicopter was No.12 of the year, this build was featured in the Dec issue of SAM magazine. I had a nother Blitzbau on the UAMF again with this Fujimi 1/72 F7U Cutlass, I managed to build it OOB in a little over 20hrs all in. Very impressive kit and an easy build too.Making #13 Number 14 for this year was the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire mk.22. A true gem of a kit. I added the Quickboost engine cowl and exhausts correction set to it, otherwsie its box stock with decals from Eduard's release of the same kit. This was built for a GB on the UAMF too. Had a brand new kit to reviw for SAM next. Number 15 is the Airfix 1/72 BAe Hawk 120, built OOB including the rather complex decals! Next up I had a KUTA with the Revell release of the Hasegawa Phantom FGR.2. This kit had languished half finished for 2+yrs in my loft before I got my finger out and made (IMHO) a good job of it after I made a hash of some of the building. A golden oldie for my last build so far of the year. The FROG 1/96 Bristol Britannia, with Eastern Express decals. This was built for the Classic British Kits SIG display at Telford this year.

turnerdad Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Great model, love the Hawk demo jet. Got 2 1/48 models to build in that livery for work, going to be fun I think. Edited December 14, 2009 by turnerdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
