I like that wild bunch! How many do you think you will complete before the end of the year?

Stikpusher, I hope to finish all of them. All 5.
In december my focus is on a F-51D and another F-86 set for a competition. So 21 finished kits in one year would be great.

In my youth years, I probably banged out more than 20 a year - mostly auto kits. Back then, I didn’t worry about accuracy, just paint, build, and viola.... a finished kit. The good old days...

And here is the wild bunch.

Now that is a nice looking collection of Wip.

Next to those others the Viggen looks like it's flown in from another planet - uber cool!

Everything is looking great Marius! I also am trying to finish a few more before year end. I used to finish 45-50 models a year myself; then I started doing large subjects with white and metallic finishes and it has slowed me way, way down. I think next year I'll try to keep it much simpler.

Monotone schemes will speed you up...

That movie... so important. Unchanging men in a changing world. You bring up some interesting ideas while making these planes come to life, Marius.

After all your amazing words and comments it is time for a small update.
All 5 got their first primers. The Viggen was coated before in light gray so that I was able to see some mistakes and to give her canopy frames a matching cockpit color.
Both NMF planes were primed with primer black by Vallejo.
