though started in 2020 it wasn't finished till 2021...a mongram P61 converted to a Northrop F15 reporter firebomber using the lonstar models conversion and decals...a great conversion overall and looks great.

the next one was done with a bit of emotion ...after the news that GreameH had passed away i felt i had to do a little memorial...i had bought a few kits off him in the past so this was a nobrainer...a Takara/Revell P1Y1 Ginga...and what a kit it is...way better than it's age should be.

now to the end of the scale,the superb new Tamiya P38 G it's a brilliant kit...and markings for a survivor makes it even more down my alley.

next the recent Airfix P40c....for all the rubbishing by US modelers i think it's a great kit,and the unusual European markings make it look great.

the very new Dora wings P43 Lancer a really nice kit of a little known plane and with an RAAF history to boot.....kit is pretty nice though some odd engineering in places, plus odd instructions...but a nice result in the end.
