Title: Last Year's Builds-The Real World Batch
Post by: Aeroplanedriver on January 14, 2019, 01:33:59 AM

First build in far too many years was a Tamiya 1/48 F4U

Followed by a Tamiya F-16CJ

Hasegawa A-4E....one of my favorite kits ever.

Tamiya 1/48 Wildcat.  Actually a VERY mild Whif...it's the wrong Mark for the decals.

Hasegawa 1/48 Typhoon Mk.1B

Airfix 1/48 P-40B.  Another nice kit, though not quite as good as the Sea Fury.

That's it for the real world stuff...my handful of 2018 What-If? builds in another thread.

I can't pick a favorite, but the F-84G and the two P-40s caught my eye.

Are they all 48th ?
You've not mentioned the scale for most.

I've never seen a desert P-40 done better!

The early one is very nice too and in a bit of a different scheme too.

Beautiful builds, all of them, &, as a punter, I have no clear favourite - far too close to call! :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza:
