Which model gave you most satisfaction in 2019?

[peterairfix]

For me it's got to be my Revell 1\48 B29 a kit that I enjoyed building and very pleased with the results.

The MOJO was at its peak when I started this 1/87 scale import by ROCO. Seems like it went from toy to technical wonder over night.
The personal satisfaction needle was moved considerably upon completion.

Not built many this year, so not many to choose from.
Italeri 1/35 MTB 74 has to be my pick. A good kit that went together well.

Who knows, one day I might make the clamps that hold the torpedoes down on their racks!

The Beaufighter I completed for the Night fighter GB

[dave]

It has to be this one as it is the only one I managed to complete this year. Definite aim next year to get more bench time.

it's got to be this one, The Bandai 1/44 scale 'Slave 1' from 'The Empire Strikes Back', I've never really done 'serious chipping' before so I was quite happy with how it turned out..

I've only completed two builds this year due to work and mental health issues. My fave was the 1/32 Hasegawa Fw190 A8. I like it because of the extra work i put into it doing scratch builds. Also because it's a Fw190 and that means it just has to be the best anyway

Some Great builds there guys.
Mine has to be the Tamiya Sdkfz234/2 Puma built for the recon GB, I haven't finished anything else due to a house move & life in general!

Loads of filling and sanding and some of the decals went awol but the end result came out a lot better than expected :smiling4:

Lovely topic to scroll through, some very nice models :thumb2:

I had a lot of fun working on my Bf109's, but finishing the Spitfire gave me the most pleasure.
Learned a lot of new techniques this year and it all came together in this one.

Revell - Spitfire Mk.IIa - 1/32
Masterbox - Raf pilots, WWII era - 1/32

For me, one build stands head and shoulders above the rest and chooses itself really - my scratch-built 1/350 HMS Prince of Wales - R09

For me, the most satisfying thing about the build was actually getting it ready in time for Telford. During the build I had the loss of my father to deal with and also suffered weeks of severe concussion and double vision which made construction "interesting", especially completing the islands with one eye shut! The reduced vision meant that I had to leave off PE railings and other fine detailing to meet the deadline but I am still happy with the result.

I was thinking of starting a new thread of 'least favourite' model of 2019, but realised the only picture of mine I could come up with is this

Couple of 'firsts' here, and it is also the only model I've actually completed this year too.

First time I've put any pics on the forum, first 1/48 aircraft and first time I've painted anything with an airbrush.....

It's an Airfix Hurricane from their 'Ready For Battle' set. I'll probably need to improve my photo skills if I make a habit of this...

As it is the last day of 2019 I think that the models that have been posted as 'favourites' are superb, and show a wide range of subjects - which encouraged me!
Amongst all those are the 'firsts' - first model, first airbrush painted etc. - trying a new subject, or a new technique can be most satisfying. Never mind that it was the only model you finished, if it gives you a warm fuzzy glow, then you've succeeded! If you can take lessons forward, so much the better.
Whatever you make - enjoy it! It's a hobby, after all, no-one is hovering over your shoulder - if it's not working for you - move on to another model - or take a sabbatical!
Here endeth the lesson!
Best wishes & Happy Modelling in 2020!!

Dave I agree with all that you have said. And I wish you and yours all the best for the New Year.
