Ray's 2021 Completions

[RayS]

Here is my meagre effort for the year (so far). I managed 11 completions compared to 22 last year. Not as much locking down this year I suppose as well as a moved halfway across the country in the past 2 months getting in the way of further productivity. With the bench finally set up and damaged models repaired I can get on with finishing at least one more before the New Year.

So in no particular order 9 of the 11 were RAAF subjects which were mainly done for the delay RAAF 100 display of the club I just left.

1/72 Welsh Models Boeing P-8A Poseidon, 11SQN RAAF


1/72 Airfix (original tool) De Havilland Mosquito Mk IV, 464SQN RAAF


1/72 Airfix (original tool) De Havilland Mosquito Mk VI, 1SQN RAAF


1/72 Italeri Bell UH-1B, 5SQN RAAF (delivery scheme)


1/72 Hong Kong Models (Hawkeye Models Aust) Beechcraft B200, 32SQN RAAF


1/72 Academy Boeing Washington B1 (B-29A), Air Trials Unit/ARDU RAAF


1/72 Airfix (Craft Master) Handley Page Halifax BIII, 466SQN RAAF


1/72 Mach 2 Vickers Viscount 849, 34SQN RAAF


1/48 Minicraft Sikorsky S-70A-9 (UH-60), 9SQN RAAF


On to the 2 non RAAF builds

1/72 Airfix BAE Hawk Mk51, Midnight Hawks FAF



1/72 Airfix Boeing E-8C, 116ACW, USAF (from E-3D kit).  While it was not an Aussie airframe per say this aircraft started life as a QANTAS B-707-338C VH-EBU


A couple that were started but did not make it across the line....

1/72 Airfix Fokker F27-500 Friendship, LADS A civil registered airframe used by the RAN for mapping


1/72 Hobby Boss HH-60J, USCG 


And some more progress on a long term project...

Excellent work Ray.

No way is this a “meagre effort”. Some big models in there! (As usual!).

1/72 Airfix (original tool) De Havilland Mosquito Mk IV, 464SQN RAAF


1/72 Airfix (original tool) De Havilland Mosquito Mk VI, 1SQN RAAF

Well if they are the Series 3 kit (and they look like it as they look like Mossies!) remember that that was Airfix’s second attempt at a Mosquito as the “original tool” was the Series 2 kit (which looked more like a caricature of a Mossie!).

Nice work man and a nice variety too. Don't be too hard on yourself completing "only"11 models this year. I'd certainly be happy with that if it were me LOL
