Hi SMA. It's been a long while since I've posted anything build related. Things have been very busy, so I've been modelling on and off, but really didn't have the time to post a build thread.
Here's some of the stuff I've finished recently (and not so recently). I apologize about the photos and colours in advance - I took these pictures very quickly in our sunroom this afternoon; you can see they were all taken on the same pine table but due to changing angles and lighting the colours shown are not true to real life.
Early June Zappa and I went to the Western Canadian Regional Model contest. I was super happy with how well I did.
Then I set to trying to finish some SMA Big Spring contest builds. Unfortunately the next two builds were started in 2013 (i think).
Italeri 1/72 X-32 JSF Prototype
Italeri 1/72 X-35 JSF Prototype
Next up is a 1/72 Airfix Spitfire IXc. Not much of a cockpit, but a ton of fun to build.
I love a good spitfire build... ;D
At the same time as the Spitfire I build a 1/72 Airfix BF-109 in post war Finnish markings.
This is a 1/72 Matchbox / Revell Hawker Fury. I had a bit of a decal disaster with this one, so most of the top wing markings are actually painted on.
Early in this years Big Spring contest I was totally motivated by a shout out from Adam, sadly with my summer school teaching load I was unable to finish this Revell 1/72 RAH-66 in time. This is my first ever heli build. The original build thread can be found here:

One thing I really enjoy building is vintage kits. This is a 1/72 Matchbox HE 111. This was a kit I bought at a local swap meet, and was still in it's original (1975 era) box. I built this strictly as a nostalgia build, having built one as a kid. I absolutely love the box art from these old Matchbox kits, so I made a base out of it.
Last up is my Revell of Germany 1/48 P-47N. This was an experiment in finishing a NMF aircraft using Vallejo Model Air metallic paints (not the new line of Metal-Air however). Includes Ultracast seat and wheels, and Zotz Decals.
Again sorry about the post length, and thanks for looking.

I appreciate it. I'll be updating this thread again as I finish up some other started/shelf queen type builds.
