Bish - you're a machine!  Once I get over my fear of bipes the Gladiator is high on my list.  Nice work.

TJ - a stable of beauties!  Nice collection.

 

 

Thanks John. I would deffinetly recomend it for anyone who has little experiance with bi-planes.

Keavdog, after the war the Navy used Hellcats as target drones to be shot out of the sky by student pilots learning how to shoot air-to-air. Some Hellcats were also used at target-tow aircraft, pulling a sock behind them.

This is kind of a funny story:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Palmdale

First time poster in this thread, long time observer. 

My last 3 are a hasegawa "egg" Hughes 500, Williams Bros Gee Bee R1, and Bandai K-2SO.

Wow Ted, eclectic for sure. The gee bee is awesome.  Keep building and showing your 3 builds!

60's Beetle, ready to holiday at the beach!

Mucky Tamiya, Toyota Celica Monte Carlo Rally winner 1993

Hawk Wild Woodie (dated 1965 on the underside of the roof)

Nice Pat - what did you use to muck up the Celica?  Looks great.

These are the last three. Beaufighter is a bit too dirty as it was my first attempt at sludge wash.

Henschel 126 in 1/48

Beaufighter in 1/48

Merkava in 1/35

Nice!  Really like the Henschel - may have to pick one up. How was the kit?

The only problem I had with it was attaching the wings. The entire wing, which is quite heavy, sits on 4 small struts in front of the pilot. The other struts on the side don't provide any support. There are 2 N shape struts that connect these two struts to the wing and they are very flimsy and they both broke as I was cutting them of the sprue. Managed to glue them together but they didn't fit at all. The machinegun is attached to the sprue at 3 places and it broke at those three places very easily. Other that that, it is a good model to build.

There are some WIP photos in the "eyes in the sky" GB. The kit is by ICM.

Cheers.

My latest 3

I've still got to paint the Churchill it's been like this on the shelf does it still count.  " alt="" width="500" height="350" />

Nice models.  The churchill looks cool in white.  Winter campaign righ  ;)

LOL Thanks, liked your Sioux was impressed with your start to finish time on that. Nice looking cars. 

Nice group, the Corsair stands out for me. 

Been some time since I responded to this one:

Build something and keep this thread going....

Ben

Some very impressive work going on in this thread. I haven't posted anything in quite some time so I guess I'd better get on the ball.

I don't move particularly fast with my builds but I did manage to get three finished this year. The Arado 234 took 3 years to build . It was one of the most difficult builds that I've completed to date.

Completed in March---AMT C1500 454SS:

Completed in July--Arado 234 "Blitz":

Completed a few days ago--General Lee....ish Charger:

I am amazed at the huge variety of models that modelers build. I am stuck in a rut just building aircraft. I need to branch out a bit.

FuzzDad - nice trio!  That spit looks spot on - and after 40 years :o

Ben - love your work - nice to see figures.  I really like the hoplite.

Joe - love the 454, especially the meats and the GL is stellar.  Blitz ain't to shabby eiter

It was a slow year for me.  But I managed to squeeze three out.  

Nice job Scott

FuzzDad

 

Corsair is great but can't beat the elegance of the Spitfire

Nice work Scott!  The bipe is stunning - brilliant blue.

3 more from me. First 2 are from last year and 3rd one is my first completion this year.

The Airfix 1/600 HMS Belfast. I've had this kit since the mid 80's.

Dragon 1/35th Tiger.

And my 6th 1/72nd Stuka, Fujimi's Ju 87R-2.

Now to get 3 more done.

Very nice Bish!  I dig the Stuka
