I had thought my production was rather slow this year, but putting it all it one place it doesn't look so bad. All that ground equipment and the associated figures did use up some time. The group photo is all stuff I did myself, the Sea Fury my grandson Alex and I built together. I did the masking but he's getting to where he runs a pretty mean airbrush at age 7.
The last one is one that was built for me by Howard Weaver. I have had a stack of Tamiya 1/32 F-4J's for some time and he really likes to build Tamiya F-4's, so I took 3 J's to him in kit form and got one back, as you as see built to a very high standard. I am shamefully proud of it and know that I got one heck of a good deal on this transaction. I have a few models that have been gifted to me, but this is the first one someone has actually built for me.

Nice collection for the year. Really like the 1950s jets in the lower right. Is the yellow wing a Vindicator? If your grandson is looking for work it looks like he has a better handle of airbrushing than I do.  |

Thanks for the nice comment! |

Thanks for all the nice comments! Helps drive me back to the bench. I started a Tamiya 190A tonight that may well be running by year's end, it's the motorized 1/48 kit.
