Is it too early to post a review of my year’s work? Eh, well, so be it since I’m done with all the builds I’m actually going to complete in 2010.
First up is the Italeri Arado Ar196 1/48
Trumpeter Focke Wulf Fw200 1/48
Tamiya Fieseler Fi156 Storch 1/48
Tamiya King Tiger tank 1/35
Revell Northrop Rockwell B-1B 1/48
Monogram Grumman F9F-5P Panther 1/48
Monogram Consolidated B-36 Peacemaker 1/72
Monogram North American P-82 Twin Mustang 1/72
Monogram North American P-51B Mustang 1/48
Tamiya Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden 1/48
And my family did a group build of sorts with three Hobby Boss kits
wife - Hurricane
daughter - Typhoon
me - Thunderjet
My wife never got around to doing the decals on her Hurricane but it really wasn’t about that, it was about us doing something together and having fun while doing so.
This year seems like I didn’t build a lot, and numbers-wise I didn’t, but I spent a lot of time at the bench tackling those two monsters I build - the B-1 and the B-36. I’m taking a bit of a break for Christmas. I may start my next build but am currently debating what that will be. Possibly a tri-build of three Messerschmitt 110s in different scales, or perhaps a beast of a kit in the Airfix Mosquito (1/24). I also think that I will be acquiring a 350th scale aircraft carrier for Christmas, and if that’s the case that will rush toward the top of my build list. As well as the 72nd scale Fine Molds Millennium Falcon I have coming from the Orient soon.
I hope the new year brings me tidings of joy at the hobby bench as well!
Less in numbers yet I had a decent year as well:
Trumpeter 1/144 Me 262 & K-rad custom bike
Ultracast 1/35 scale tank mechanic & allied pilot
Tamiya 1/48 scale M4A1 Sherman ‘thin ice’
Dragon 1/144 scale 38(t) ‘weekend madness’
Ultracast 1/35 scale Luftwaffe pilot
??? hmm it seems my photobucket account is missing pictures? Oh well take my word the Luftwaffe pilot is indeed finished! I also have a 1/72 scale Italeri Hetzer on the bench that is 90% complete:
