Built 3 models that all were painted together. # not high quality models that are far from Hasegawa or Tamiya or Monogram (for that matter) quality.

 

This 1/72 Challenger with J_Bot decals.

Then these two Mach2 Falcons. Also using J-Bot decals. The decals are by far the best part of these models and caused no end of issues. Luckily my customer provided two sets of decals. Both sure were needed.

The models had more flash then plastic. The clear parts are a joke. Lucky the J-Bot decals came with realistic looking window replacements.

I have finished two 1/72 kits.

 

First up, my fujimi A-4M.   I built this kit after finding the decals at a hobby shop going out of business sale. I thought they were 1/48th decals when I bought them, but they were 1/72 .. so I had to find a Fujimi kit. I am proud of the masking I was able to do to paint the special scheme. I am a little disappointed with the weathering, I over did it. My goal was to make the model a little less toy like but I made it too dirty.  The slats are up because I broke many of the actuators, and lost one. I could not think of a good way to fabricate it, so I just went with slats retracted, even though it likely would never look like this if the plane was parked.   I had a lot of trouble with the under carriage, doors and external stores.  The under carriage parts are just too darn small and easily broken for me.   This is a very nice kit, but 1/72 is just too small for me.

Next up is this Italeri RF-4E. I started this kit to test a new brand of paint on the white parts, then forgot about it. I figured It would be a quick build to get it off the shelf of doom.

I bumped the Pitot tube moving it into the photo booth, which is why it is a bit crooked
