Great job Guy !! I did a double-take when I first saw the pics, and thought you might have posted in the wrong thread. It's great to see a non-US aircraft in the gallery (albeit RCAF markings) !!

Excellent work mate.

Cheers, D

I've posted a couple of pics of my entry on the gallery, now that its complete. I thought I would do something totally different for this campaign, as everyone else has done WW2 planes.
Sorry I can't do any close-ups, no matter how hard I try, they always come out blurred, so I'm afraid imaging software will be needed to zoom in. You can still make out there is a lady on the nose though!

thanks
Mike

I started it a few weeks ago when I realised time was running out, just finished it over the weekend. I didn't say what I was building as I wanted to do something different than everyone else!

thanks

You should have posted some in progress pics i'm sure everyone else would have enjoyed something different .

We draw closer to the official end of this campaign I will hand out ribbons to those who have finished by the end.as for the rest of you as you finish before nov.1st post and I will give your award then.

This is your captain over and out

It wasn't a requirement of the campaign rules, otherwise I would have done.

Making progress but oh so slow thanks to the complicated fit of the Hasegawa P-38 kit. I should be able to make the Nov 1 deadline once I attach the engine booms to the wing.

Wing.

Another lovely problem to deal with. I lined up one wing using the ailerons was a mistake and using the tips and working inward was another mistake on the other side. However all of the pre-fit work should payoff as there will be little to fill or little to repair at the join lines by the booms.

Alright ladies and gentleman that is the official close of the pin-ups campaign lots of good build wish I had alot more finish but theres always pin-ups 2(yes you still have till Nov.1st to enter your build)I have awarded those who have posted in the gallery and as you post your completion I will award the tail dragger's

@Rebilda I dont understand it but it looks like you never enlisted so I cant award you i will talk to the big cheeses and see if anything can be done.

Thanks guys for an excellant campaign and I hope to see you in my future ones's.

@tigerbait by the skin of your teeth good job man! Award on the way when you upload to gallery.

I'm steadily working away on "Rozzie Geth" and am halway through applying the stencil decals so almost there really.
Life has certainly conspired to get in the way on this one, and its also seemed like everytime I've gone anywhere near the thing I've spent the next couple of days repairing the damage I keep doing to it :S
It'll get there..............eventually.

Don't be too hard on yourself Nige, these P-47's can be a bit tricky. It helps if you know a bit about them, maybe you should do some reading ??
