Rules for the new Model of the Month. Please read before posting

1. Entries must be of your own work.
2. The model must be of an aircraft.
3. The model can be in any scale and in any medium.
4. The model can be “out of the box”, scratch built, or anything in between.
5. The model must be finished within the month for which it is entered. The model could have been started some time before the MOM for which it is entered, it is the month in which it is actually finished that counts. So if it isn't finished this month it may be ready for next month or the month after
6. 1 picture is to be uploaded into the relevant gallery and titled with what the model is of, I.E. VS Spitfire Mk Vc. No composites. This picture must be of just the model, no base. (For a model posed in the "in Flight" configuration" a small stand is allowed which can be used to either support the model or as a counter weight. A beaching dolly can be used for a float plane.
7. A thread will be opened in the general aircraft forum in which you MUST add up to 3 further pictures and you MAY add details about the build. The model can appear on a base or even in a diorama in this thread. Pictures must not be larger than 700 pixels wide, in either the gallery or the information thread. If you wish to post further pictures then open your own thread.
8. Pictures of models can be placed in the gallery from the first of the month until the penultimate day of the month (the next to last day) (see “5” above). (This is to avoid the time zone difference, I'm working on GMT)
9. Voting will take place over the first half of the next month, closing on the 16th. (This will be between 18.00 and 00.01 GMT)
10. A member winning one month cannot win the following month.
11. Dragon are sponsoring this from June 2007.
12. Staff members of the Kitmaker group of sites cannot enter.
13. The rules will be added to when and if it is deemed necessary.
14. Any none complience with these rules may result in disqualification.
15. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for not abiding by them.

Hi, freshly out of zavot. Italeri (dragon mold) 1/72 Mig-15. Painted mostly with Gunze.



Best of luck to everyone...

Here's my entry for this month. SM79 Series1 of the Condor legion, Spain 1937. Built for the between the wars campaign. It is the Italerie 1/72 scale kit, mostly painted in Gunze and Tamiya paints except for the Italian underside grey/blue which is Pollyscale.

A great kit for anyone that wants to build a "Hunchback".

Here is my first post to MOM. And indeed my first ever Tamiya kit. (Only got back into the hobby 18 months ago). The kit was lovely, though the decals left a lot to be desired. Hope you like it.

Freshly finished for the Stars of the VVS Campaign

Sukhoi SU-27

Finished this beauty the first week of the month. 1/72 Italeri C-47 with Leading Edge conversion. Thanks. "Q"

Hi everyone,

To celebrate the completion of my second model in 6 months (high productivity - I know), here's my entry for MOM

It's a Zvezda MiG-3 (1/72) with decals from the Revell kit of Red 02.

Good luck to everyone,

Mike

Thought I'd give it a go

Here's my entry, a Vietnam Huey UH-1D from Dragon in 1/35 scale.

Thanks and good luck.

Trying to upload photos for this contest:

I hit the upload button below, Add my photos, and i get a wierd ghroup of someone elses photos asking me to process them. AM I doing somethng wrong?

Now the upload photos Button isn't working at all....

Do you have any trouble uploading photos to your own gallery ? Upload photos works fine for me

Hmm, Strange. Used to be able to upload right from your PC. Never mind, Here they are from my gallery.

This is the Trumpeter 1/48 MIG-15bis. A real beast of a kit. The thrid picture shows how really bad the fit is between the two fusilage halves. I suppose you could keep them together and get rid ofthe seam, but that way you can't display the engine, which is really good in this kit.

I'll give it a go again, what the heck, right? This is the old Monogram 1:48 Fokker D.VII. Special features include all home made lozenge decals, drawn on the computer and printed to decal paper, scratched cockpit. More pictures can be seen in Early Aviation section. Thank you-

Hi all!

Here's my entry: Accurate Miniatures' Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless. I painted it in MM acrylics, and used artist's pencils for the panel lines. Sorry, the pics are a bit dark.
