The Duke's 2023 Pass in Review

Okay, let's start my Pass in Review for 2023, starting with my aircraft, ships and boats:


I got a late start getting any aircraft done, but I did finally get this monstrosity over the finish line:


Revell 1/72 scale A-400 Grizzly:





Next is an old Hasegawa 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk. VIII:





Still gotta get some new pics for that now that it is done. Speaking of Spitfires, here's my other one, an Academy 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk. XIV:

RPM 1/72 scale Soviet Be-4 Flying Boat:





A US Navy TBM Avenger, shown here with the Mk. 24 torpedo mine:





Next is a Heller 1/72 scale F-94 Starfire; the first ever F-94 in my collection:





Next is an ancient Matchbox 1/72 scale F-6F Hellcat done in Fleet Air Arm markings:





Finally, for aircraft, I completed an MPM 1/72 scale Sikorsky R-4D helicopter USAAF:

Now for my armor and vehicles in the next post....
