Over the two weeks before Thanksgiving, I was able to complete two aircraft. They're not done, but they are done. There are a couple parts missing or things not done that I can't fix, so until I find replacements or figure out what to do, they are being declared done. First is this RPM 1/72 scale Russian Be-4 float plane used on Russian cruisers and battleships in WWII. It is an odd little bird and this was a very short run kit, but it is finished: I had to raise the center pylon which lead to me lengthening the support braces and so I should also have lengthened the outrigger pontoons. I probably will someday, but for now, it is being supported in these pics with a pair of tweezers. Next up is a Hasegawa 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk.VIII. I lost one of the wing guns, and the tip off the other, but everything else is complete. Therefore I'm calling this done rather than leave it on the Shelf of Doom because of a couple parts. Also, I only got one shot of this, all other attempts to shoot more ground-eye-view pics failed so here it is: That's all I have for now, Now to go post my finished armor for this month. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thank you Bert! It is an unusual kit of a unique plane you don't normally see built. I like having those in my collection.
Thank you Paul and Steve! I have the missing guns for that Spitfire on the way from the guy who sent me that kit in the first place. Once they arrive and I get this plane repaired; I'll shoot more pics. I also have a second Spitfire that should be finished fairly soon. Stay tuned guys!

Thank you John! I hope to have at least a couple more done.
Thank you Tommy! It was pretty small and quite challenging to build.

Another gorgeous Spitfire in the threads! And what a great job you did on that Beriev wing. The plane looks great.

Thank you Jeff!
Thank you Ian! It took a good amount of putty but I am happy with that Beriev wing.
