Just what the hell have you been doing??

Now, I don't suppose for one moment that this is a question that has been in the forefront of your mind. Whatever I've been up to is of little or no consequence to yourself, but do you know what....I'm going to tell you anyway! 
Since the bomber SiG finished (is it me, or does that seem ages ago!), I've not really posted a whole lot on the forum. I've dipped in with the odd comment here and there, and I promise, they won't be so odd in future. But, I have still been slathering glue and paint on the old plastic.
I finished the Dragon King Tiger, but forgot to take pics before it got boxed and consigned to the attic. And I also finished the Revell 1/32 Spitfire.
Next to get finished was a 1/72 Italeri Harrier. Can't say I enjoyed building this a whole heap and hence why it's so shiny. I didn't bother weathering it all. Once all the ordinance was on, I called it a day and put it on the finished shelf (re., the attic!).
Also got the Meng 1/35 D9R Dozer finished. Loved building this kit. Typical Meng, went together like a dream and it gave me a chance to get some proper weathering down.
The base was actually stolen from a Bradley diorama that I'm currently building - just need to finish the figures.
And the last thing to get "finished" was Revell's 1/48 Panavia Tornado IDS. Really struggled with this kit and nothing seemed to go together right. The decals are supposed to be cartograph, but I had a 'mare with them. I had to alter so much of this kit in order to get it together, I think I would have been better whittling the whole thing out of a tree branch!
As you can see, there's bits missing, only half the decals are on, bits are "posed" wrong and the whole thing is just not, well, right! Don't care though! I'm counting this one as finished as well.
Next up, I have a Dragon Wirbelwind that needs finishing (still deciding on whether to but a whitewash camo on it) and then it's on to my new kit. Academy's 1/48 F-4B Sundowners. I've really only got into building planes this year, but after building Airfix's 1/72 Phantom for the Cold War SiG, I fell in love with this plane.
Thanks for taking a look!
