though started in 2020 it wasn't finished till 2021...a mongram P61 converted to a Northrop F15 reporter firebomber using the lonstar models conversion and decals...a great conversion overall and looks great.

the next one was done with a bit of emotion ...after the news that GreameH had passed away i felt i had to do a little memorial...i had bought a few kits off him in the past so this was a nobrainer...a Takara/Revell P1Y1 Ginga...and what a kit it is...way better than it's age should be.

now to the end of the scale,the superb new Tamiya P38 G it's a brilliant kit...and markings for a survivor makes it even more down my alley.

next the recent Airfix P40c....for all the rubbishing by US modelers i think it's a great kit,and the unusual European markings make it look great.

the very new Dora wings P43 Lancer a really nice kit of a little known plane and with an RAAF history to boot.....kit is pretty nice though some odd engineering in places, plus odd instructions...but a nice result in the end.

last is the Fine molds J9N1 Kikka another great kit and an usual subject with a great r4esult in my mind.

only 6 this year but some good fun was had.

Thanks for showing us your models for this past year. They all look excellent and I'm particularly keen on that new kit of the P-43. Must get me one if it looks that good.
