Weird year for me. Started off normal, albeit with a little different grouping of subjects coming of my bench. Then came what turned out to be my last build of the year, Polar Light's USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (TOS) with lighting kit in 1/350 scale. Started that turkey in the heat of the SE Texas summer, finished it yesterday.
First off the bench was Tamiya's 1/48 Heinkel He162A-2 Salamander. Good kit.
Next was Hasegawa's old 1/72 Boeing B-47E Stratojet. Not much detail here, but that was to be expected in such an old kit. Built wheels up to hang alongside my collection of big bombers.
Then I went to a galaxy far, far away with Bandai's tiny Super Star Destroyer and Rebel Blockade Runner. I was able to install lights into the SSD but there just was not room to get everything snapped together on the BR to accommodate the fiber optics.
Next was Tamiya's 1/35 Deuce and a Half, US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck. I'd had this kit in the stash for years. Glad I finally built it, turned out to be a lot of fun.
Another long-time inhabitant of my stash was next, Cyber-Hobby's 1/48 Bf110D-3. Really enjoyed building that one.
Back to a galaxy far, far away with Bandai's A-Wing in 1/72 scale. Added an aftermarket lighting kit to it. Fun build.
I next built Accurate Miniatures' 1/48 F3F-2 with the PE rigging set. I enjoyed building this one.
To boldly go where no one has gone before, I went to a couple of huge 1/350 Star Trek models from Polar Lights. First up was the Klingon K'Ting'a battlecruiser featured in the opening minutes of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Installed the lighting kit for this beast. PITA to mask but turned out good. After the K'Ting'a, I went with the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. Ugh. The lighting kit was garbage. Fit was terrible in multiple places. And it was a struggle just to find time at the bench given how terribly hot it was here in SE Texas for much of the year.
I actually put the Enterprise on hold for about a month to attempt Revell's big 1/32 Ju88A-1, but I ended up deep-sixing that one after making an incorrectable mistake with the fuselage and cockpit installation.
