2025 Year End Review

[Rhino]

Hmm. What did I finish this year?
1/48 scale.

1/72 scale;





1/350 scale;


1/700 scale;





Being semi-retired alleviates that troublesome, time-consuming, full-time work and allows lots more model making mischief!
The plan was to wrap up the 1/700 HMS Audacity as well, but the jury is still (hem) out, as it were.

Some fantastic work going on here,great stuff guys.
Here's mine

I left out CSS Alabama and CSS Florida! 1/700 Confederate raiders of Civil War notoriety.

 

[hamchuck]

Most of the B-25 was built in '24, but technically completed in '25.
I think all of these were the first half of the year. I've been lollygagging on the Saratoga ever since.

I like that Booker a lot. It's a shame they didn't field it.

I will kick us off this year with a Ferrari Alfa 1/12

@hamchuck, which kit is this? I ask since I have many early Mitchells but only one (Monogram) late model and can't bring myself to spend the amount HK Models is asking.

This one. Great kit, I might get another sometime and do the bat livery.

That full-time employment thing do cut into a Man's modeling time! You make a fine man-scale model, Alvin!

Would you believe it? I built a model of this thing and never saw this picture. Now I feel like I have to go back and retouch the weathering!

The Revell Ag and Eduard 1/72 B-25J are the Hasegawa toolings. An excellent kit.

Indeed! I was thinking 1/48th scale, hence the Monogram mention!

looking back in my photos I see the Carolina Lee right on the verge of being completed in 25 so I'll include it if that's ok. Pretty sure I've dusted it up some since this photo.
