Yes its true, 10 finished models in one calendar year!  First time since I came back into the hobby 8 years ago.

And here is number 10, Spitfire F.24 of 80 Squadron RAF, based at RAF Kai Tak, Hong Kong.  This is an entry in the Korean War GB over on ARC.

As for the 10 themselves, in the words of Mogs family of cats, "here they are, all of them, together".

Beautiful Spit Nev  :o - I'm building the CM version in 1/72

Should have had it finished for my other SIG at Telford (CAFFE - Commonwealth AF Far East) but the Sassinian got in the way

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks Dork, more pictures can be found here.  

The dayglo came from a rattle can I got from Halfords.

nev,

Great job on that Spitfire, and the others are very nice too.

Its not easy to make ten kits in a year, I tried to get 12 finished this year and so far only have seven now with two 90% finished and should have them done in another week.

Only 10? I've got 18 done so far.

Granted about 10 of those were either half-builds, small projects (1/100 or smaller), a few throw togethers and 3 kits as gifts (do they count?). Take those away and I'm left with.....about 7 or 8. :huh:

Dam! :wacko:

Good show Nevster!

Nice one Nev, I'm hopeful of getting my Sea Harrier FA2 finished before Christmas which will mean I've managed to finish five this year, 100% increase over last year! ^_^
