Okay, let's start my Pass in Review for 2023, starting with my aircraft, ships and boats: I got a late start getting any aircraft done, but I did finally get this monstrosity over the finish line: Revell 1/72 scale A-400 Grizzly: Next is an old Hasegawa 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk. VIII: Still gotta get some new pics for that now that it is done. Speaking of Spitfires, here's my other one, an Academy 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk. XIV: Thank you Saul for both the Spits! I hope I did you proud with them. RPM 1/72 scale Soviet Be-4 Flying Boat: A US Navy TBM Avenger, shown here with the Mk. 24 torpedo mine: Next is a Heller 1/72 scale F-94 Starfire; the first ever F-94 in my collection: Next is an ancient Matchbox 1/72 scale F-6F Hellcat done in Fleet Air Arm markings: Finally, for aircraft, I completed an MPM 1/72 scale Sikorsky R-4D helicopter USAAF: Moving on to my ships and other miscellaneous models, here is what I completed in 2023... Trumpeter 1/700 scale USS Sacramento AOE-1: Ancient Airfix 1/72 scale British Vospers 71 foot MTB: Another ancient Airfix kit, the 1/72 scale British Vospers 73 foot MTB: Next is the Revell 1/72 scale German Schnellboot: One of my more unique subjects: a 1/48 scale Roman Racing Chariot: And finally, one of my pride and joys, especially since he's one of my all-time favorite characters: my Dragon Rocket the Raccoon: Now for my armor and vehicles in the next post....
