New posts - 215 - 7 shy of the all time record
New topics - 19 - new record

Views overall - surpassed the 12 million mark around the middle of January

The Gallery continues to be popular as well. Stats are listed below.
8,328 files in 349 albums and 17 categories with 749 comments viewed 4,147,839 times

Four new models were completed last month:
Gordon 1/60 Curtiss Wright CW-21
Lou 1/48 Beech/Raytheon King Air - 1/48 De Havilland Mosquito - 1/72 Douglas Boston

My bench is quite fun with the following models:
1/144 Short Sunderland drawings printed.
1/144 Lockheed Neptune drawings printed.
1/72 Fairchild Cornell awaiting final painting of canopy and antiglare panel. Tail wheel assembly and main wheels need to be constructed.
1/72 Bellanca Pacemaker engine cowl removed and engine is under construction. Awaiting painting and attachment of floats.
1/48 Beechcraft Expeditor wooden blocks.
1/32 Fleet Finch fuselage sanded. Wings need airfoil shaping.
1/32 Gypsy Moth wooden blocks.
1/350 SS Bannprince need lifeboats, crane winches and misc. details.

I anticipate the Cornell and Pacemaker will be completed this month. This is in line with my RCAF 100^th goals.

Still working on the Valkyrie. Also have just spent time catching up with the progress of fellow modellers. I really enjoy seeing what everyone is up to.

  Pushing on slowly with the Triplane.

The SeaHawk is coming along nicely.

Revived the Siskin.

BAT FK26 is on hold ( for the moment ).

Cheers
