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.

Oh, go on then, it's worth a shot. I finished this P-3F on Easter Sunday - apologies for the pants background, the light conditions outdoors weren't up to much.



I'll stick one of 'em in the voting area once I can get it to work proper.

Actually I'm having a spot of bother. The picture seems to have gone into the right folder but nothing shows up - only a link that you have to press to see it. Is that meant to happen, or am I - as usual - doing something wrong?

This is my Mitsubishi A6M7 1/48 OOB from Hasegawa! Photos taken in the shade because the sun was too bright!

I can't see them either but i do get the following error message in red at the top of the page.

"Warning: include(/home/kitmaker/gallery/templates/1.tmpl): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/kitmaker/gallery/showgallery.php on line 167 Warning: include(): Failed opening '/home/kitmaker/gallery/templates/1.tmpl' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/kitmaker/gallery/showgallery.php on line 167 "

Hello. This my entry for MOM April. This is the F4F-4 from Tamiya in 1/48 scale. It was BOB with photoetch belts. ModelMaster paints were used. Decals are from Aeromaster and Superscale. A raw umber wash was applied with guns and exhaust stains being applied with pastel chalks and then blended in with my finger. The antenna is stretched sprue. Wingman out.

Here is my entry for April MOM. This is Revell/Hasegawa Ju-87 B-2 in 1/48 scale. It painted gunze acrylics and weathered by mig pigments.

This is my entry for April MOM:







As you can see this is Hawker Hurricane Mk I in 1/48. Miniature shows Sq. Ldr Witold Urbanowicz's plane from the BoB period. This guy was Polish fighter ace, most of his war career he spend in 303 Sq.

Hi.
This is my DFW T.28 in 1/72 scale from elf model build OOB. I used gunze acrylics to paint it. Weathering was done with black wash and post shading.
Some better images here

HI Guys
here is my latest .
It is the Xrta Kit Sea Harrier FA2 in 1/72 scale. It is almost straight from the box with all of the problems. The seat has been replaced with a resin one. other than that it I have added the wing vortex generators and some of the small areals. Hope you like her?

My entry for this month is the Revell's 1/144 F-14D Tomcat..

The build was straight out of the box, Painted with Xtracrylics and Tamiya acrylics. The decals were out of the Dragon offering of this kit.

The full build log can be found Here





Technically the scheme I chose no long carried the Phoenix missile as it had been decommissioned but I just couldn't resist the classic load out for the Tomcat.
