Due to a myriad of excuses my completed model list is quite small this year I only completed three 1/72 aircraft and a few small figures Granted there was to be a fourth but it turned out so bad it was binned before it was even painted.



Lots of other projects started, hopefully some will be completed in 2008

F-4 U-1a

Me-262

P-47D Thunderbolt

Well it's aeroscale, so these are the aircraft i finished in '07 - full list with ships and automotive stuff is on the similar thread over at model geek. This has been my biggest year by far for building aircraft - it has gone from occasional to mostly what i'm building these days.

I just took a batch of pics outside of the years ealier builds, the camera is confused by the bright light and light background, makes them look darker than they really are. But no time to play with photoshop.

My tally so far this year is six, two less than last year! AAUUGGHHH! Many more jets this year than last and a helicopter (first since 1988 or so).













I’m trying hard to get this finished for the VVS build, gee another jet!



Happy Holidays,

Hi all!

Wow, what a great collection of models! But I'm sure a lot more have been built by Aeroscale members this year. Come on, don't be shy guys!

Here's mine, now posted in the correct thread and with the correct year as well!

I finished three models, all in 1/72, in 2007. The same number as in 2006

1) A Tomcat for the Bye Bye Baby F-14 Tomcat campaign. Hasegawa kit with CAM decals.





2) An Xtrakit Gloster Meteor F.8 in Danish colours that was blogged here





3) And finally the Xtrakit Spitfire XII. Blog is here and review is here





For 2008, I'll double the target number: 6 finished. Not counting an Avenger and a Hellcat that both ought to get finished during January 2008!

Happy New Year!

Well I got three planes done this year. Two Corsairs and a Spitfire.

Tamiya's 1/48 F4U-2 night fighting Corsair along with the 1/72 scale F4U-1A.




Ya I know it's blurry but it's snowy outside and I really like the angle of this one.





And my Hasegawa Mk IXe converted from a "c" wing. It represents a fictional plane from the very real 411 squadron RCAF.
