Post your 3 pictures for the February 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.

This is my model of the month entry. This the Academy 1/72 scale Me-109G built out of the box.
It is decaled with aftermarket decals, I am never sure about how Academy decals will do though I hear they are trying to improve them.

The aircraft is painted with Polly Scale acrylic colors. RLM 74/75 splinter camoflage on top, with RLM 76 on the bottom. Pretty standard color scheme.

My contribution to the MoM is 1/48 scale Ishak from Eduard. Some minor changes are made to improve the overall look:

- the top of the fin is sanded down
- trailing edges of the wings are thinned
- the front engine cowling shortened cca 1mm
- landing gear legs shortened cca 3mm
- a few riveting lines added

Used camouflage colours: WEM enamels
