Justin: Great, thanks!

Joe: I forgot, ever since I saw that Mohawk you displayed in flight I was curious as to how you set your builds up to display them in flight while remaining sturdy?

Alright so if i get all those who have enlisted to complete their build within the time and rules of the campaign that's 100% you will get one of these!

BAM!

Wow Justin that looks great, I hope this works out well for you and the many others.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Jeremy, it's really simply, and I don't do anything fancy. For jets I run a rod deep in the the burner can followed by inserting into base. For the Mohawk I drilled a hole into bottom of fuselage, ran a rod deep into it. That's it really. I will say this...they do bounce, like those bobble head toys.

I like to do the in-flight displays as the look great in action and the save a ton of space. I give them an banking to the left look, then you can display them next to each other. The wings file under each other saving space. I've done this with F-15, 14's, and A-7's and so on.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Thanks Joe me to

Justin: Very cool man

Joe: Thanks for the explanation. They actually look rock solid in the pics, I wouldn't have guessed otherwise

Justin That campaign ribbon is superb!

Joe I like your inspiration for "inflight" displays!

One question by this total newcomer - my entry is a 1/72 Revell F-14 which will be mostly OOB though I managed to get a Superscale decal sheet for VF-84 or VF-102. I'm leaning towards '84 as it's such a damn cool scheme....I know we like variety here but any objections?

I might also need some help posting WIP photos!

Thanks in advance,
Dermot

Vf-84 my favorite do as many as you like sir and what about the extra award you get to hang on the wall if we get 100% hmmmmm welcome to the madness by the way any questions just ask

Thanks Justin - I think the extra award for the wall is truly worthy of Grumman's superb, supersonic, swing-wing big 'Cat that we're going to be building here.

Speaking of which, have got these bits to help with my build..



I just hope I can come up to the high standards 'round these parts!

All the best,
Dermot

Justin, that award will surely get me to finish a campaign of my favourite aircraft, if only I can make up my mind on which scale and scheme to do.

Thinking really hard now of doing a 1/48 'Adversary Bad cat' Topgun 30 in splinter camo but my skills with the airbrush I don't think are quite good enough yet. So unless I can find some way in the mean time to get my skills up it will more than likely be 1/144.
Still some time to go so who knows.

Sweet thanks for joining guys.I look forward to your builds

Not sure what to do yet... the planning so far:

- Finish an already started (barely) 1/48 F-14B

- Build an 1/48 F-14D with shameful decals (I have all the material). Even worse, a 2nd is in the mail

- Depending on the budget/time, a 1/48 F-14A in Iranian markings

Since I will be using three different cockpit sets (Black Box, Eduard PE and Aires), this could serve nicely as a comparison.

Two weeks and counting

This is going to be great!

Five days left to go (since february only has 28 days)...

hes right holly crap this year is going quick

Counting down ladies and gentlemen
