All excellent looking builds. I specially like the Kfir, one sleek looking aircraft. The darn thing looks fast just sitting there.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Thanks! Yes, those French Deltas are growing on me, especially when they get dressed in Israeli colours.

Nice collection there Vance. I never realized that you were such a Braille Scale guy. But you do have a few 48th kits there, so all is not lost ;-)

lol, yep, I cut my teeth on 1/48 scale Revello-grams back in high school, but I think I switched to 1/72 about the same time as I started buying my own kits... ;)  And with my current display area, I can't invest too much real estate in 1/48 kits. Hoping to build a proper case this winter to handle some larger stuff.

And of course, I have an eye for a lot of the European stuff, often tackled in 1/72.

Thanks Tex! 8 didn't feel like enough to me for a year, so I'll be taking your advice, building more, and posting pics.  Whistling

Heh heh, now who would that remind us mugs of?   Man, eight is eight more than I finished last year; bad modeling slump.  I need to take that same advice!

Well, I've got my first for 2014 in the bag now, started that shortly after Christmas - already a breakneck pace for me. I noticed a couple things to touch up after taking the "final" pics, but she's basically done.

A Saab J21, the old Heller kit. Yes, I finished that one last year. I seem to have an interest in Swedish models recently:

Some great looking builds Vance, an excellent year for modelling is what I would call that! I have to say that the Kfir is my favorite!

Great builds Vance. I remember building the J-21 years ago.  Like the Kfir.

Thanks all. Yes, I was pleasently surprised by that J21, a really well detailed kit for the scale/age.
