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.

I guess I'll start this off. Italeri's 1/72 B-58 Hustler. Various Alclad laquers and Future were used to obtain the finish.

I see and rise then:}
Revell 1/72 Bf.109 G-10 with minor retouches from scratch.



Additional photos are in the WW2 Forum. Good luck everyone.

Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3. Airbrushed with Xtracrylics, the final matt coat was Colourcoats matt varnish. I added Eduard seatbelts and used fishing line painted black for the aerial wires.

It must be Messerschmitt month? This one is Classic Airframes Bf109D in Swiss service around 1944 or so. Built straight from the box except for the aerial wire. Built for the "For Export" group build.

Okay, I got the upload photot figured out! Here goes. BTW, I am in awe of the competition, great stuff!

Yes, it really must be Messerschmitt month! 'Cause here's yet another one! Otaki 1:48 scale. With minor custom additions, including home-vac-formed canopy. More photos and full details can be found in the WWII Forum. Thank you-

Right then, I may as well give it a go...

Let's bring a bit of British in this month. It's the new Revell Lancaster MKIII 1:72. The aircraft’s last mission was to Hitler’s ‘Eagles Nest’ at Berchtesgaden, LM739 was a No. 1 Group Leader for the raid, and to assist with daylight formation keeping it’s vertical tail surfaces and wing tips were painted yellow, and it’s crew fired Verey cartridges and towed yellow pyrotechnic stars from the rear turret at specific points of the route. Hope that gives some background to the plane as well.





The other's look great - good luck everyone!
