Matt, I just got the 1/35 Trumpy Hind for Crimmus and it is soooooo  freakin' sweet in the box.   I dunno how it builds out, but it looks good on the sprues.

I'd like to see what you do with a MiG-29....

Matt, you should do more modern era stuff- those MiGs are sweet.

Just you wait! It's not a resolution per se, but my intent for 2013, after I put my Jug and Fw 190 to bed, is to back off of WWII props to play in some other genres.

Got a Tornado GR.1 and a Jaguar A on the bench right now, and I'm going to have a Me 262A-1a/U4 (the one with the massive 50mm autocannon) starting up soon. 

Once I'm clear of those, who knows? I've got multiples of Eduard's 1/48 MiG-21s (three MFs and a bis), an F-16 or two, and an F-15E. Supposed to be getting a review kit of the new Great Wall MiG-29. Also eyeing Trumpy's big F-8 Crusader and probably going to tackle a weedwhacker this year (good money's on a Mi-24).

Beautiful as always, Doogs. I love the D-520 and the P-51B. Insert drool here.

Cheers,

2012 Bench Production...
Posted by DoogsATX on Monday, December 31, 2012 11:40 AM

Overall, I'd have to call it a productive year, despite wandering down a few alleys and putting waaaay too much time into a certain monster of a bomber.

The first two builds of 2012 were Jugs - a Tamiya and a Revell Razorback build side-by-side. The Tamiya, as "Magic Carpet", wrapped a week earlier as part of a near-all-nighter to have it ready for ModelFiesta. Worth the effort - it took first in 1/48 Allied Props (and did so again in Austin in September)



Landing a week later - the Revellogram kit, representing Captain Arlie Blood's "The Bug", named after his son.



Once these two were out of the way I was able to bore down on my first limited run kit, Pacific Coast's Fiat G.55 Centauro. A slog but an absolute blast of a kit. I had such a good time that I snagged the G.55S Silurante torpedo-bomber version!



After the Fiat I decided I needed something light. So a 1/48 Hasegawa N1K1 George.



Then Revell's new Peevee.



After the Peevee wrapped up in May, things went haywire. This is around the time I was moving jobs, and trying to manage the absurdity of the HK B-25 when it arrived, and heading out on a big family reunion/vacation.

At some point, I decided to stop, and take a different direction with some quick 1/48s, Tamiya's D.520 and P-51B.





Toward the very tail end of October, I finished the giant 1/32 B-25 that had been occupying me for so long.



The two tiny MiG-21MFs...



and a 1/32 Swiss Bf 109G-6.

And no way it's going to clear the bench by midnight tonight, but this big-honkin' Trumpeter Jug will likely be my first complete of 2013.
