oortiz10's 2023 in 1/48

Posted by oortiz10 on Tuesday, January 2, 2024 10:45 PM

I decided to go with a personal theme of "Pairs" for 2023. As it turned out, all the pairs I completed were of helos. I had a pair of F-100s and AH-64s that didn't make it across the finish line, but I'll get 'em done in 2024. Sorry for posting these "late," but I wasn't able to access the site the past few days. Anyway, here's what did get done.

Monogram 1/48 F-86D Sabre

AMP 1/48 OH-6A Loach built as a TH-6B

Academy/Minicraft 1/48 MH-6 "Stealth Helicopter" WIF

Esci/Italeri 1/48 OH-58A x 2

Esci 1/48 UH-1D Huey x 2

Thanks for looking and happy modeling! Here's to a productive and healthy 2024!

Cheers!

Hello O!

That's a very nice bunch, especially the pairs! I like your subject selection a lot. Too bad the F-100s didn't make it, hope to see them done soon! Good luck with it and all the best in the new year!

O, those are some excellent looking builds! The pairs idea is a great concept, but pulling that off for a whole year, wow!
The choppers look great, but I really love that Saber Dog!

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Thanks for the pats on the back, gang. Sorry for the late response(s), but I have not had much luck with the FSM Forums lately. Still, I appreciate all the compliments.

I think I am going to continue with the "Pairs" theme for '24, considering I still have the Huns and Apaches to finish. There are a few other pairs that I'd like to get to this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a good few done this year.

Cheers!
