My 2017 in pictures...

Post by KSaarni »

Hi All,

I feel a little bit rusty, writing this post.. Being pretty much inactive for a year... Feels though good, slowly but surely, to again reactivate myself .. :-)

Nevertheless, something has been going on my bench the last 12 months..

More exactly, I succeeded in finalizing two builds.. well, if reviewed carefully, neither build is really 100% finished, but close though..

These builds were more or a less "gain mojo back"-builds...
But also practice builds... trying out different technics etc.. But mostly just to get back in the business builds..


Airfix Bf 109 E-4 in 1:48
I kept on building this bird for almost 5 months. Decals came however from an old scratched Eduard 109 kit...
Happy I came this far, even if stuff / details as antenna wire etc is missing.. Somehow satisfied with the weathering..

My second finished kit was then Eduards 109 F-4 also in 1:48
Same here, took about 5 months to come to this point, also almost finished.
The kit quality was much better than Airfix kit, Eduard just makes so wonderful 109's.

Sorry for the pretty general pictures of the builds...

Hopefully 2018 will much better than 2017 was on the "building front"

Kari, those look great to me. You may not have finished a lot this year, but those two look beautiful!

Kari, I have to agree with Stik on this. There may be a little detail missing here and there, but your 109s came out looking good.

I should be so rusty.....
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Both of these look excellent Kari! Looks like you're not so rusty after all. Great work man, I do hope to see more in 2018!
