2005 was a pretty good year for me! Thanks for letting me share my work with you.

Outstanding work Bill,
my favorite is the Hurricane.
Just may make one for my annual aircraft of 2006...

Coooool builds. Someones a fan of Axis aircraft. Great work

Excellent work!

I am jealous (in a good sense) of this outstanding quantity and quality.

I suppose that you don't need any sleep?

Hi Bill

Beautiful work throughout! Here's what I've completed this hear:

******

That's right, I'm afraid... zilch! Lot's of good intentions and half-started projects, but nothing made it to the finishing line. Ohh well, there's always next year...

All the best

Rowan

Outstanding and inspiring - you may have just influenced me to go and build a plane for the first time (I am a figure bloke you see )
That is an impressive build rate you have there too!

Best Regards

Clinton

Very nice collection and a wide range of subjects too... Most Impressive.


Let's see... There are about 20 kits here so that's about two per month - very prolific also (I'll be lucky if I finish four for the whole year - LOL).

Keep up the good work,
N E O

You've been really busy this year.
And all look great! Very, Very nice collection.

My oh my.... You've been a busy little bee...

I have not nearly completed as many models this year, but I probably bought as many...

Does that count? :-)

Great work!

Dieter

Thank you very much Dave, Chris, drabslab, Rowan, KiwiKid, Neo, Marcin, and Dieter !

Dave - I used an Aires resin & PE cockpit on the Hurri, and it was too deep to allow the wing to fit correctly. Even after thinning the cockpit floor and wheel well tops as much as I dared, I still had to file and sand a step at the wingroots. The instrument panel also dislodged itself when I removed the cockpit masking. In spite of those setbacks, I'm pleased with it.

Chris - I build a lot of Luftwaffe stuff because I like to paint the camo. They make for some colorful shelves !

drabslab and Neo - I'm disabled, so I spend 30 to 50 hours a week at the bench. I probably average about 100 hours a build, and I keep at least three going at the same time.

KiwiKid - I'm happy that my perspiration provided some inspiration.

Thanks again !

Can someone in Administration change the "Model of the Month" subheading? I wanted to leave it blank, and it must have changed when I used the scroll wheel on my mouse. I can't change it by editing the post. Thank you !

wow...someones been a busy bee! I'm with Dave, I love the hurri.

Thats alot of kits for one year, at that level of detail and quality. I like the C47

hello bill! i was only admiring your rufe yesterday at the FSM forums. my favourite aircraft out of this lot is your Me 262B-1a/U1 closely followed by the Ta 154 Moskito i love those night fighter mottles! and i have a 262 two seater my self to build (the revell 1/72 kit) all in all you have a nice collection there mate,
keep on building!

You're a busy little beaver aren't ya? Nice job! There's a couple show stoppers in that grouping.

Congrats Bill. All of them are excellent jobs. Really awsome paint jobs. I like them very much. The ones I like more are the Me 262´s and the FW 190 D9.
It could take me a couple of years to build that much.

Congrats again.

Thanks David, Johnny, Phil, EasyOff, and Carlos !

Phil - you gotta love those Luftwaffe schemes ! There's a lot of variation, and a great choice of colors. You could probably build nothing but Luftwaffe for a couple years and never repeat a scheme.

I have more pics of these during construction. Not all the text is written (I'd rather fill ejector pin marks than type), but there are some interior shots:

Thanks again !

that is amazing bill.. you finished all of them in a year? and good looking ones too... quite an accomplishment.

my favourites will be the AR234 and the Black Widow..

All I can say is WOW!

I have quite a few of those kits in the old stash, and talk about inspiration. Awesome!

I've definitely got to do better in the finding time department, as I've only almost completed one kit this year...

Thanks moJimbo, David, and Tuomas !

Glad you like them !
