RKic Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) 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.

avgass Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Nice mix. I like the Phantom especially. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Outstanding builds for the year. Great job! How did you like the Academy Phantom? I am thinking about this model for a future build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) 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). Edited December 29, 2014 by RKic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
