Post your 3 pictures for the November Model of the Month competition Here.

Post your, single, picture for voting purposes here

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.

My Hasegawa Apache AH-64A representing the recent Iraqi Freedom conflict. It's an OOB build, painted with Vallejo acrylics, and Game Ink for a dark grey/black wash over the panels. I also used some Tamiya weathering colours to add some 'desert texture' to some of the more stationary parts.







Good luck to all.

This is my 1/72 Heller Messerschmitt 262B-1. I used Smer decales, eduard PE and CMK resin parts. Also some parts from a revell me 262a-1 were used. I rescribed the penal lines as well. Gunze acrylics were used for the camuflage. Weathering was done with black wash and post shading.

Polar Bear,
you need to post 1 (only) picture in the gallery for voting on. I'll give you a little time before opening the voting.

I's been a few years since my last MOM entry. Anyway, here it goes.
This is Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18F Superhornet with marking of the CAG from VFA-103 Diamondback. This is an OOB subject and i painted the model with Gunze Acrylics.
