Hello,
Best wishes for a wonderful new year! As many of you know I haven't been on the modeling workbench much during the year. Sorry for not even been here in a long time.
In 2022, scale models lost the battle against my other workbench hoarding hobby: Vintage Camera restorations. If anyone is interested, here is a link to my 2022 year in review for camera restorations:
www.pentaxforums.com/forums/211-vintage-cameras-equipment/450564-my-2022-review-36-cameras-13-rolls-film-lot-more.html
No contest this year: 36 cameras vs only 3 scale models.
But I did manage to finish 3 scale models, although only 1 is really a plastic model car.
My best of the year and only plastic model car was the 1949 Talbot Lago T26C Belgian Grand Prix winner
Started with the Smer kit but ended up scratchbuilding a lot of it.
More details in this build thread: race-car-models.proboards.com/thread/2525/finished-talbot-belgian-grand-winner
The other race car was actually a 1/64 Corvette C6R chassis 001 as tested in Sebring January 8 2005
Started with a beaten Hot Wheels

My third and last model of the year was a totally different subject. A STAR WARS B Wing Fighter with some serious firepower.
Started with a vintage built MPC snap kit that was broken and incomplete. Funny, this kit was re-released recently.
More details in this build thread:

In case you are wondering, the MPC Darth Vader's Tie Advanced X1 is about 90% done. It will be the first completion of 2023.
Wish you all a wonderful New Year full of health!
Thanks,
Ismael
