Since others are posting their 2020 builds here are mine. Got more done this year than in the past three years due to finally being settled in to my own place with a model room.

First off is a Revell Beetle that I built for my sister who is a neo hippy and thinks they are so cool. She would change her mind if she ever actually drove one in traffic.Lol

Then I finished three that were in the closet of doom for years. I entered these in Snakes"Bring out your dead" thread just to motivate me to finish them.

Then I built the MPC Honda Super Hawk.

Next came the MPC 78 Dodge pickup.

These two were started but won't get finished this year. AMT scale stars 60 T-bird and AMT 63 Vette that will be done as a gasser.

Best year I've had in a while.

All great looking builds. Partial to the '66 SS since I owned one. You are correct about the VW. They're kind of fun to drive, but you have to keep the engine near the redline just to keep up with traffic.

I remember you building that Dodge pick-up, you said something like "it could be better" I love it, it has that base model look especially in that colour. Definitely my favourite in this line-up.

These all look great.  Your sister should be tickled with that beetle.   I have always had a soft spot for air cooled VWs.  My pick for favorite would have to be that Impala.

A fine year! If I may ask, what color/paint did you use on the Mopar?

Thanks Rusty, I used Duplicolor Nissan Orange Mist touch up paint from a spray can. Had I used white instead of gray primer it would have come out brighter.
