Looking good and it's only the middle of March - so just finishing your first build is fine for all of us except John who I think has three or four already beautifully finished builds so far this year.🏆

 

I reckon I’ll just squeeze the GB and maybe one more this year………

For me , all the way from Taiwan in 6 days , Bronco's Brit AFV crews. As with most of my Bronco experiences , the moulding are quite heavy, but will be interested to see if that gives a better or worse definition to the finished figure. Some nice poses and mix of uniforms , even down to an arm division badge .

Doing a GB on another site.1/72 Airfix B-25B/C RAF a really nice kit looks like it would finish well in NM so I will give it a shot before the OD.;)

Looking mighty good and completely agree the B-25 will look awesome in a NMF

I have one in 1/72 NMF Peter I think Hasegawa in doing the NMF is the base for some weathering later I suck with pencils,besides I want to see how Airfix looks in metal.;)

Nice! I picked up the recent Eduard rebox of the Hasegawa B-25s so hopefully will get to them one day.

Got bored watching glue dry on the Seaview diorama so I jumped on this quick build as a time filler.  Just doing paint work on the engine/prop.  The rest will be done like a bar display.   
I can see how easy it would be to want to go super detail on one of these kits.  Not sure how one would go about the windshield though. I guess vacuum form one? 66AA7E04-8997-4387-A541-0AFECEFC440A.thumb.jpeg.27e1b9195325af6789ade571a7fb19e4.jpeg

This might actually be cool.I think the wood is Birch and I still need to plane it down and router it.I am thinking of something like French Submarine yard maybe a pic dacapodged to the base like what the bomber saw and brass plate up front?

Cool! There's a company called Coastal Kits that sell 2D backgrounds and bases. One of them might be good as a cover for the base.

Going to be pretty cool and everyone loves the DH Beaver. I remember years ago on LSP, Brian going all ot on the kit - loads of possibilities. Looking forward to following your build.
