Models 2008
Pictures of stuff I finished in 2008, all 48th unless mentioned.
2008 was supposed to be the year of the Phantom, 50th anniversary of the first flight etc. Turned out to be the year of the F-105 as I was given two to review and finished a couple of others while I was at it. First the Monogram D, backdated a bit and marked as Pussy Galore (the original one).

Monogram F model marked up as one of the Commando Nail a/c using quite a bit of the Eduard stuff (I know it's for a G, but it's close...).

And a V-2, snap together kit, surprisingly good.

Some Phantoms! First Flight markings, quite a few build pics (not in order), Hasegawa F-4J, Cutting Edge conversion. A few bits missing from this very expensive set, seats, tail hook fairing, but otherwise mostly nice.

SageBurner, Hasegawa's F-4B kit, DB Resin conversion, much easier, much quicker. CE decals tho.

Hasegawa F-16B with loads of bits from IsraCast, Paragon, Aires and Black Box to make an F-16I. LONG project...

Finished, after two years! While I was doing the last bits I chucked the old Monogram prototype kit together, just as a comparison. A few bits used from the Hase kit, resin seat, OLD Superscale decals, reshaped the nose etc.

Antares Predator (thanks Marcelo :-) with added Hellfire (Hasegawa AH-64) and scratch built gear, the white metal as supplied being a bit solid.
