I had a pretty good year building all Axis warbird subjects.
Started the year off with Tamiya's 1/32 A6M5 Zero and ended the year with Tamiya's 1/48 A6M5/5a Zero, along with Monogram's old A6M5 Zero and Hasegawa's D3A1 Val and B5N2 Kate.

I had a plan to book-end this year with these Japanese builds. My dad passed while I was wrapping up that 32nd scale Zero, and it took a bit more time to finish her up and begin the Arado than I had expected. It was a tough year for me in this regard, losing my hero, my dad, such as I did. But I moved on always with my eye on December 7, and did manage to finish the Monogram Zero and both the actual Pearl Harbor attackers, Val and Kate, on the 7th of December. In between was a lot of Nazi subjects, a couple of Italians, and some Japanese birds. Many of these involved complicated paint schemes, and three involved a bunch of scratch-building - the He115, where I drilled a bunch of holes to install mounting brackets for those huge pontoons (Special Hobby seems to think that a tiny nub is going to hold those things to the fuselage), and the Bf110 and Monogram Zero got upgraded cockpits.
