Well, time for the usual year-end roundup.  2021 has been an odd year, but I got some more done:

 

First up, the 1/72 F4H-1 Phantom Prototype conversion, using no aftermarket parts:

A few challenges, but worth it.  For those interested, more pics  HERE  which will then link to the build thread proper.  Same process will be repeated for all the models...

 

Next up, the Curtiss A-18 Shrike resin build:

All in all, a challenging but rewarding year, whittling down the bucket list a bit!

 

Thanks for looking and a great New Year to everyone!

Nice selection of models.  I did the same LF A-18 this year and the MPM XF-85 in the past, so I know what you've accomplished.   How was the TBF build?

You mean the TBY-2 Sea Wolf?  It was challenging to get a lot of the piece to fit, masking the clear areas, and other stuff as mentioned in the build thread.  Iw as not a snap togther!
