Ray's 2021 Completions

A place for our military aviation modellers to show their stuff. It may not be civil but it still has a home here

Ray's 2021 Completions

Postby RayS » Sun Dec 19, 2021 9:31 pm

Here is my meagre effort for the year (so far). I managed 11 completions compared to 22 last year. Not as much locking down this year I suppose as well as a moved halfway across the country in the past 2 months getting in the way of further productivity. With the bench finally set up and damaged models repaired I can get on with finishing at least one more before the New Year.

So in no particular order 9 of the 11 were RAAF subjects which were mainly done for the delay RAAF 100 display of the club I just left.

Excellent work Ray.

No way is this a “meagre effort”. Some big models in there! (As usual!).

Well if they are the Series 3 kit (and they look like it as they look like Mossies!) remember that that was Airfix’s second attempt at a Mosquito as the “original tool” was the Series 2 kit (which looked more like a caricature of a Mossie!).

Nice work man and a nice variety too. Don't be too hard on yourself completing "only"11 models this year. I'd certainly be happy with that if it were me LOL
