Fantastic stuff, it would be hard to pick a "best liked" in my case. Thanks for sharing.

Some very nice builds there. I am partial to the Mig-15. Fine work on the paint scheme.

Re: VMA131Marine's Geedunk
Just completed: the Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc in SEAC markings - actually, I used the Airfix decals on this kit. The stripes were masked and sprayed.

Re: VMA131Marine's Geedunk
My most recent completion: the first armour model I have actually finished in about 27 years. It's the Airfix 1/76 Panzer VI Königstiger (King Tiger). Except for the too short tracks, it is a super little kit:

Re: VMA131Marine's Geedunk
Hot off the workbench, so hot it still needs a tweak or two here and there, it's the Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk.IX (2008 tool) in Johnnie Johnson's markings. The white of the invasion stripes was sprayed on, then I drybrushed the black to try to make the stripes look hastily painted and somewhat worn:

Re: VMA131Marine's Geedunk
My take on the Airfix 2009 tool sorta-MiG-15; I say that because when you put it next to the Eduard kit the differences are very apparent. It looks nice enough in isolation though. I added an Eduard photoetch cockpit set, but you can't really see much of it in the photos. This kit was a would be victim of the hardwood floor monster (closely related to the carpet monster), who conveniently rematerialised the canopy, which I had dropped earlier, directly underneath my foot. Fortunately, I have a second copy of the kit and was able, after much swearing, to smash-form a suitable replacement. Eduard masks greatly simplified the task of masking the wheels and canopy.
Update: The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that I installed the inner gear doors on the wrong sides. Well-spotted, and now, after more cursing, they are fixed!
