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.

This is a Tamiya 1/48 Bf109E-4. It is OOB apart from the aerial wires (which are fishing line painted black) and some of the decals which are by superscale. It was airbrushed using Xtracrylics paints, the wash is Promodeller wash and the final mattcoat is Colourcoats enamel. I used some pastel powders to dirty up the wing roots to make it appear used.

This is Revell's Hunter FGA.9 finished in the Swiss 'Papyrus' scheme (Fliegerstaffel 15's unit symbol is a paper-plane, hence this special paint scheme). Added some detail to the cockpit interior, made some minor mods to the airframe to make it the recon version and finally made my own set of decals using numerous photos of the real aircraft as reference.

Fokker DVIIF of Karl Bolle from the Eduard kit. Decals are a mix of kit and various Eagle Strike sheets and quite a bit of masking thrown in.

Here is my entry for this MOM. It is Dragon He-219 UHU in 1/72 scale. It painted gunze acrylics. Mostly builded OOB.

Good luck to all.

This is my Hasegawa Bf 109 F-4 in 1:48 I built for the Aces high campaign. The machine is H-J Marseilles february-version of his eternal "Yellow 14". It's completely out of box, painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with artists oils.

This is my MoM entry for May: The Fine Molds 1/72 Bf-109F-2:
