Stokey Pete Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Well, 2020 has been a prolific one for me, I usually manage 1 build, maybe 2 (at a push) during a year. To have actually finished 5 kits is unheard of at my bench. There were a couple of false starts too. An Apache that ended up junked owing to many missing parts that were too difficult to source, and a Harrier that I started off with enthusiasm, but lost the mojo for early on. That’s the only kit on the shelf of doom currently. January began with the finishing off of the British Aerospace owned Tornado GR1 test bed. March/April came along with the worlds worrying new situation. My wife couldn’t decide which of the two she preferred when she saw images of built kits, so she let me buy and build both over the summer. First off, came the Arctic aggressor Viper from Eielson AFB. Built alongside that in a double up build, came ‘Zeus’ from the Hellenic AF. My personal opinion, this has got to be one of the most attractive schemes ever to adorn a fighter jet. In between those two, I sneaked in shake and bake build of a Revell Mustang. It’s not especially accurate, or well finished by my own high standards. I just wanted something to distract me in between building stages of the Vipers. I began the Autumnal season doing two things. First was to begin plans for the full meal deal Flanker that I’ve got on the go currently. The second, was to rescue my VFC-12 Ambush Hornet from the shelf of doom. When it was retrieved, it had the cockpit painted, and a few bits of weaponry glued together. A little over a month or so later.... And so, we consign 2020 to the shelf of doom. Onwards to the dawn of a better and more successful 2021. Happy modelling to you all, may it bring much joy.

Greif8 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Those are some beautiful builds! I agree with you that the "Zeus" scheme is very colorful and attractive. Ernest Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Normal service will resume for 2021. I’ll refer to this thread come Dec’ 31st when all I’ve done is finished the Flanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may well rescue the Harrier GR7 from the SOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 That's a cracking set of builds , loving the tonka's load out and esp both the F16's , I wouldn't have dared to take on either of those paint schemes, no way could i have pulled them off like you have . About that anaglypta though ..... Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
