That's a good looking Trans Am. I've always liked the way these cars look.

Good looking T/A JR!

Those are all very impressive builds Kurt! Great weathering on that paint truck!

Man that's a kit I haven't seen in a loooooooooooooooooong time right there. Good lookin' build.

Very good looking set of builds. I've heard alot of good things about those Tamiya GT kits and yours turned out very well.

Turned out great Jim. Always had a soft spot for these as well as the T-Type cars.

Turned out really good. Great color!!!

Ya know.....when I see a post like 20 builds in a year I expect to see 20 fairly good looking builds. Upon scrolling through all of this however, I am amazed at the quality of these 20 builds. Very good job on all of these Tommy.

Really like the color and the shine on this one.

Thanks Larry! 'Preciate it Rusty. I haven't heard all that much good about the Hobby Craft kits. Funny thing is that the Hasegawa version is touted to be the best offering out there .....BUT ....trying to get that whole nose section/ cockpit area mated to the fuselage cleanly proved to be a nightmare for me. It was the biggest obstacle I had with this build but with patience and perseverance it can be done. Watch for that area when you tackle yours. Test fit...test fit and some MORE test fit.

These are just the coolest kits and this build turned out great!!! Gonna have to pick me one of these up and.......now I'm hungry for tacos!!!!

Good lookin' Panzer Tom!!

Ya know.......I had finished this last year and totally forgot that there's a separate forum for Finished "All The Rest" Builds. In any case.....here she is. I started this kit over three years ago and ran into a lot of problematic areas with this kit. To say that this kit has now moved into #1 on my most difficult/ frustrating and sometimes angering build would simply be an understatement. It was so bad that I stepped away from aircraft building altogether for those 3 years. Some of it I brought on myself by making things more difficult than they needed to be and other areas were just plain ridiculous the way Hasegawa put this thing together. This kit is touted to be one of the best scale model representations of this iconic plane and on that point I'll agree once it's built. Getting there was the difficult part for me. Enough of that banter though. After 3 long years my Arado is finally completed: Finished cockpit photo In progress cockpit photo: aaaaaaaaand engine shots:

THAT......is a thing of beauty Craig. Very nicely built and painted. WOW!!

WOW!!! Thanks guys!!! I really appreciate all the great and encouraging comments.

That's a good looking build Dennis! Good shine on that paint!!!

Good lookin' AWB Chevy!!

Wow!!! What a super detailed build. VERY cool work!!!

Figured that it was. That....is a good kit and there's lots of aftermarket for it.

Thank you for checking in as well Francis! Really glad to have you along. This is where my roots are in modeling. Aircraft are what I know and love and it's been a LONG time since I've ventured back into that arena. I built this 1/48 scale Fw190D-9 around 7 years ago and it's the best aircraft build that I've ever turned out so for me.....it's gonna be a tough act to follow in order to top it....BUT....I'll give it a whirl. The Messerschmitt 262 is one of my favorite aircraft of all times in regards to the early jet age. This thing was way ahead of its time. Fuselage cut from sprues, cleaning up the halves and test fitting the interior tomorrow....

Thanks for dropping in Bob! Is that two seater Revell the 1/32 scale kit?

Very good work on these Misha!

First off , this is a fabulous line up!! Secondly....I have GOT to find that Baja Bandito kit!! That is the COOLEST!!!

Dude!!! You have been VERY busy this last year!!! Wow!!

Thanks Bruce!! Thanks for the great comments Carl. This one dang near did me in as a modeler. lol Thanks Tom!! Aside from the shortcomings of the kit and all the challenges this kit presented for me....it is now my favorite build. Thanks Kurt!! These Ryefield kits are just the "bee's knees". Really detailed and go together pretty dang well.
