That's a nice-looking B-17, Samantha.

Well, the nose art is finally on my P-38. Still some work to do to get the lady blended in (am nervous about using decal setting solution on the Pyn-Up nose art decal). The regular decals are GREAT, and I do love the way the nose art decal looks thus far.

@ Joe and Tom, a great looking pair of P-38's on the way !!

Great work so far. Cheers, D

Thanks guys Scary to think this time last year I was all ready to give up modelling

Enjoying seeing everyones progress Really like the Pyn up decals I really must get a set at some point when I find a set

Great job guys!yes I wish pyn would have stayed in business they had a lot of great decal sets

Been having some weird hangups, but still working hard Justin, should be able to get my build done in time

Tom: Looking good there, how long did you wait between paint drying and applying the decals?

Keep at it man you will finish

I'm coming close, but not close enough Justin. Unfortunately medical issues have become present in a close relative, which needless to say has significantly pushed back on my projects.

I will continue my build in the thread I have created for it, and focus on learning the techniques that I need to develop for the next campaign.

Get that Pin-Ups 2 campaign proposal up, I'm ready to enlist and have a fighting chance this time

Von- I'm not an evil dictator I have told Viper the same thing.When you Two finish post in the gallery and I will award ribbon based on both of you guys staying honest and putting forth a good effort just message me when you have done so.

As long as you're good with it, then I'll keep at it and keep you informed of my progress

I managed to get a couple of coats of varnish on my build for this campaign today.
Hopefully I'll be able to get the various bits and pieces attached tomorrow and post a finished photo.
Nige

Very good lampie that ones going to look sweet

All finished.
The lights absolutely rubbish today so a quick snapshot uploaded into the gallery will have to suffice for now.


Looking forward to "Pin Ups 2"!
Nige

My entry is done and uploaded:
P-38H "Thoughts of Midnite" from 431st FG / 475th FG in New Guinea, 1943. This aircraft was flown by Maj. Verl Jett and Capt. Robert Herman.

Photos were taken by fellow club member Gerald Voigt of Hawkeyes Hobbies (http://hawkeyes-squawkbox.com/). Thanks, Gerald!




As noted in my other posts, the Hasegawa kit was IMHO, awful in terms of fit and engineering (but nice detail).

Thanks for a great campaign, Justin - especially the part where you gave us an extension

She looks purdy! Now if she didn't weigh so much

Thanks guys it was worth it great builds ribbon on there way

Definitely worth the wait for those 2 stragglers Justin, superb builds in the end from both of them. Congrats Nige and Tom, 2 more excellent Pin-Ups in the Gallery !!

Cheers, D

I'm still behind schedule, this is the 4 campaign I miss, Damm..

Byron

That's ok there's always pin-ups two

Back on it tomorrow and some pics from earlier before the upheaval.

In between everything and now doing prep work for a bamboo floor I've managed to finish the painting of the Lightning. The unit color was painted on instead of decals for a more uniform look. Now to stickers, weathering and finishing the small parts.

Looking good viper almost there

Keep goin', Joe! We're still watching!
That's going to look great with the unit colors (and I can empathize with painting the $^#@^ stripes! )

Regards-
Tom

Thanks guys. Work continues on the floor and in between I'm getting some stickers on the Lightning.

Tom - you're right this has been a tough build and to think that I didn't want to wait for a resin cockpit on my first choice of the F-105. Oh well. This thing is also tough to handle when putting on decals and trying not to touch setting/drying decals. Your P-38 came out looking great, love the nost art.

The flooring project has started in hopes that it'll be done before the Thanksgiving crowd shows up.



In the meantime I've put some stickers on and started weathering provided there is time and aspirin available.
