Fifer54 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've done well this year, with plenty of models finished. Here they are. First in this year was Roden's 1/72 Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 for the Great War GB. Also for the GWGB was this 1/72 Emhar MkIV Female tank. After those, they came thick & fast....... That's the Airfix 1/72 Hurricane, built for the Airfix Starter Set GB. The Matchbox Me410 was done for the Matchbox GB. The Nightfighter GB had me producing this He219. Another GB aircraft was this Airfix Gloster Meteor for the Blitzbau GB. My original entry for the Blitzbau was a Pegasus 1/48 Me262, but a paint problem delayed it from the GB. This Pioneer 2 1/72 Sea Fury, Matchbox Tempest II and Airfix Typhoon started a Hawker Monoplane Propellor Fighters sub-collection. The Matchbox Wellesley Academy Polikarpov I-16 and Revell 1/48 Hs123 were all built for the collection. The What-if GB prompted an anonymous Russian kit in 1/72 scale of a Spitfire floatplane, built as a service fighter of the US Navy. A Pioneer 2 Fokker D.XXI Pegasus's 1/48 Snap-together Spitfire The X-planes GB produced a Bv141 For the Blitzkrieg GB, a PZL P-23 Karas looked like this: And the most recent completion was the Eduard Airacobra, for which I got a KUTA! And that's it so far this year! There may be more to come......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else have you got to finish in the next fortnight?? MH Well, currently on the bench nearing completion is a MPM 1/72filler queen Mil Mi-1 helicopter, I'm just starting a Vickers light tank (Airfix) for the Blitzkrieg GB, and then there's the FROG 'Toom i'm complaining about here. Not promising to finish any of them, but i'm going for it, in between visiting family, Christmas and Hogmanay........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifer54 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 One more! Finished yesterday during a lull in the festivities, here is the MPM Mil Mi-1 in 1/72. In many ways this was my most satisfying build of 2010, because it was the one I foresaw the most problems with! It's one of MPM's early kits, with all the "limited-run" features like heavy sprue attachments, opaque "transparencies", no locating pins, etc. although the fit wasn't bad.It did have intructions consisting of (printed on thin grey cardboard) a three-view drawing, an exploded diagram, a biography/history, tone drawing profiles as colour details and a sprue map that was completely inaccurate!!! The rotors were a butt-joint to the hub, untill I drilled the hub and slotted the rotor roots into it.Before I started it, I doubted whether I could finish it. I think it's probably been good practice for the Airfix RE.8, Tiger Moth and BP Defiant I was given for Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
