My work area is not quite as organised.

For 2019 I aim to finish but not in any order.
1/32 Flycatcher
1/32 Caproni CH 1
1/72 Douglas X-3
1/32 BAT FK 23 Bantam.
1/32 HM Pou du Ciel

These are all in various stages of construction.

I started something just before Christmas and will post it when finished.

To everyone all the very best for the New Year.

Cheers

I have actually started to build something! To keep it simple I decided to make a glider, the Grunau Baby in 1:100 out of some balsa off-cuts i had lying about. Markings and painting will be imaginary, to make it fit into my "alternative history" of Smaland, wich is the part of Sweden where I live.

Thank you for your vote Paul.
