Here at the end of the year, we managed to get another couple models over the finish line. First is this ancient Matchbox 1/72 scale F-6F Hellcat done up as a bird serving in the Fleet Air Arm. I already have a US Navy one so I jumped at the chance to add this to my British aircraft collection: Yes, the propeller looks like it's sagging, sometimes it does that. Normally it sits right when I have it on my shelf. Next is this MPM very short run kit of a Sikorsky R-4D serving in the USAAF in 1946. It had vacu-formed canopy parts; four in total. This was my first time ever doing a multi-part canopy with vac-formed clear parts so it ain't the best looking bird in the collection. The main rotor looks off in a couple pics; that is an optical illusion from the camera angle in one case, the other time it shifted when I moved the model for the next pic. This is also a shelf queen started back in 2010: Those two now complete the production for this year. Now I'll go get started on my Pass in Review. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

This pair is a great way to close out your year of flying machines Mark!
