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.

Hello. This is my entry for MOM Jan. This is Tamiya's 1/48 scale Aichi Seiran. It was built out of the box. ModelMaster paints were used with a RawUmber oil wash applied. The Hinomarus were applied with masks usingTamiya masking tape. Thanks for looking, Wingman out.

This is my entry, it's the Revell 1/48 Bf-110 G2/R3.
Painted with WEM colourcoats and weathered with oils, tamiya smoke and tamiya weathering powders. Hope you like it and good luck to all.

My entry for January MOM. This is Italeri kit in 1/72 scale. It painted Gunze Acrylics. Weathering by some airbrush technics and Mig pigments.

This is my entry for MOM: a 1/48 Smer Piper L-4H.

- I sanded all the surfaces of the model to eliminate the "fabric effect" provided by Smer.

- Detailed the cockpit.

- Replaced the fragile wing struts provided by Smer with 0.75 mm brass rods.

- Scratchbuilt engine, landing gear (including wheels) and propeller.

- Added the step, engine exhaust, "anchor rings" (made with copper wire), ailerons control wires and pulleys.

- I cut and repositioned the rudder and elevators.

- I painted the markings, with the exception of the serial and technical data block, because kit's decals were too translucent.






I hope you like it !

Cheers,


Claudio

OH DEAR

Geoff Pereira (jugjunkie) has asked me to remove his entry (F-15) as he hadn't read the rules fully and missed the part where the model has to be finished during the month in which it is entered.
I would like to thank Geoff for being so honest and I hope that he will enter later in the year

Hello Everyone,

I will throw my hat in the ring with my A-37 Dragonfly build just completed for the Vietnam campain. This is the old Monogram kit OOB.





I hope you all like it
