The word has been given from on high that my Sea JAguar will likely be the last thing I have time to build in 2006...so here is my tally for the year-12 models. Clearly I have a fondness of 1/72 UK models, but there are a few others in there too. The first build of the year was my Secret Santa Skyraider Firebomber, the last the Sea Jag I finished yesterday. The IDF Harrier was technically a restoration, not a build, but what the hell...I count it!
I also did 12 last year, but a couple were real-world armor-this year was all whiff!

Number 12 was built in England and stayed there

How did you do that canopy? is a beauty!!!
Rafa
Rafa-
The nose of that build came from a Rafale. I sanded the radome/forward fuselage down to get the stealthy diamond cross section, and also sanded the kit canopy to a more stealthy shape. Since my skills are not up to creating a clear canopy with the stealthy shape, I just masked the shape I wnated and painted it silver. Looking back on it now I feel like it would have looked better if I had known the miracle of Milliput back then.
That is one nice collection! That IAF Harrier is sweet!
:cheers: :cheers:
A-D, That's a wondeful build!!!, and a good thing to do with a Rafale, besides having it as a Rafale!
Precious collection, Hope next year's builds double this one's in cuantity.
Saludos.
Rafa.
