This year saw more completions than in 2024, mainly due to my returning to retired life and me now having more bench time again available. So here we have my Class of 2025, in no particular order

1, Takom 1/35 A-4/V-2 Missile

2, Bandai 1/12 Imperial Stormtrooper

3, AMT 1/48 P-51D Mustang

4, Tamiya 1/48 YF-16

5, Hobbycraft 1/48 P-35A (Shelf of Doom completion)

6, Tamiya 1/35 Komatsu LAV

7, Tamiya 1/48 M1025 HMMWV

8, DML 1/35 M4A3E8

9, Dragon 1/35 MIM-23 Hawk Missiles on M192 Launch Trailer

10, Nichimo 1/35 M4A1 on D-Day, last but not least. This has been an on and off project for years (not shelf of doom), and this year I finally completed the final bits of final detailing & weathering

Here’s to a more productive 2026…

Very nice work on all of them. I especially like the M4A1 which took so much of your time.

Many Thanks for all of your kind replies!

MrB, my man bar is to complete at least one or two more in this year. The rest will follow.

CBowling, that Stormtrooper kit was lots of fun. I can highly recommend Bandai Star Wars kits.

Tom, I think that the missiles and the Stormtrooper were a bit off may usual beaten path…

Gary, the M4A1 was a long slow project, but mostly because it was one I wanted to get “just right”. I have a few more D-Day Sherman projects in mind so each will receive a similar amount of attention. Hopeful in less timespan :wink:
