My 2024 builds!

January 3, 2025 · in Aviation · · 16 · 214

Not a big year but happy with my builds. For the first time in my life I just built jets! The build I enjoyed the most was the vacu-form WAKU, 1/72 Yak-17. My least favorite was PM's Yak-15.

All of my builds are in 1/72 scale, they are all old kits from the 70's and 80's.
These are the kits I built:

  • KP - MiG-17
  • KP - Yak-23
  • WAKU - Yak-17
  • PM - Yak-15
  • Matchbox - F-5A

Hopefully I will get to build more in 2025, have a great 2025.

  1. An excellent modeling year with equally excellent subjects, Bob! Wishing you a happy, prosperous 2025!

  2. All equally beautiful, Bob @v1pro
    Especially considering the scale. Well done.
    Wishing you a wonderful and healthy 2025.

  3. G’day Bob (@v1pro),
    This is a great set of builds.
    The early Russian jets are an intersting bunch.
    Happy 2025.

  4. Well done, Bob!
    Happy 2025 and happy bench time

  5. Compliments to you,Bob!
    It’s like someone going camping with bare essentials and coming back after writing a 5 part symphony!
    All great builds, still partial to the F-5 though.

    • Thank you George @georgeswork, I started the MiG-17 and F-5 at the same time, the MiG was first to get done, the F-5 was the last build. And somehow I had a Yak attack and built 3 of them. It was fun and very unplanned. 😁🍻

  6. Nice work Bob, and I'm glad that you pick unusual subjects quite often! Well done, and have a fantastic 2025.

  7. Bob @v1pro , those are all great looking models. You really do nice work with those old kits

  8. Love that red Yak, nice collection.

    • Thank you Robert @roofrat! That Red Yak was not my favorite build but I am glad it is done and it looks good with the other Yak models.
