Tiger and Bear!

Congratulations, Marius!!!!

You are bringing the heat to these projects, and your work looks amazing. I think this makes 16 of 25 total for 2017... or perhaps 16/24. Regardless, I send my regards and words of support to you for your tasks remaining as well.
Make more models!

Thanks Bruce and you are right about the #.
I won't reach 24 neither 25. But maybe 20. That would be a 2 at school, similar to your grade "B"?
Enough for my pursuit of happiness. (Great movie)

What is great about your approach to these projects is the looking forward as well as back... not just back at different eras when these aircraft were designed and used but looking back to a time in your life when you were learning to design and build. It is no accident that the 1:48 scale aircraft on your list is the same model as your very first. The Pursuit of Happyness indeed! That is an apt summation of a wonderful story you have told this year. I puzzled over why you called this “Bolleken’s 1:72 Stuff,” but I came to realize all of the builds relate back to you as a group... your own uniqueness and integrity are part of the sum not simply the parts.

Last, you need no grade, this is always been A-level work!

I second what Bruce said. I wish I could finish a few more before year end, but I'm happy overall with what I have gotten done. Your work is indeed A-level work!

Thebpaint looks good on the Hurricane. Do you think that you’ll get it finished this month?

Thanks and yes, I do. Including that one there are 4 kits supposed to be finished this month. Maybe a 5t.
