RKic's Eclectic Modeling Year


Recommended Posts

Looks like I was all over the map in 2014. Here are the seven I finished. Not many, but I'm fairly proud of all of them.

12/30 Update. I finished off two more (well 1.5 more really) after initially posting this. See below.

Started off with the Tamiya FW-190A in 1/48 (my favorite build from the year).

Then the Airfix Spitfire I in 1/72

Then back to 1/48 with the Academy F-4B (My second favorite model from the year).

Then a slight detour to AFVs with Academy's Sheridan in 1/35 (a kit started in 2011).

Sticking with Academy for the next build - the F-18C in 1/72 built for ARC's hornet GB.

Then Tamiya's 1/48 Gaz 1.5-ton truck

Airfix's 1/72 Hurricane I.

And right before the year's end...

Master Box 1/72 British Mk. I (ugly and dull, but finished)

and

Hasegawa 1/48 P-40E (I built this kit in 2013 as Robert Scott's P-40, but got tired of the boring finish, so I stripped the paint, put on a set of Barracudacals Aleutian Tiger decals, added some wire antennas, and here we are. A half build really. That makes it 8.5 for 2014.

As for unfinished projects...well there were many more than seven. The nearly-made-its include a Revell P-26, Academy F-89, Masterbox MK I tank, Zvezda BF-109, Trumpeter Su-15, Special Hobby Vindicator, and Hasegawa RF-4E.

Thanks a lot, guys. :)/>

Bill, the Phantom is a nice kit. I think the Hasegawa phantoms are more fun to build, but the Academy kit is a better bargain (you get weapons and such).
