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. A model of a crashed aircraft on a simple base is allowed. This, simple, base can only be of groundwork, no vehicles, trees, fences etc or figures are allowed, but items off the aircraft are (such as wheels).
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 800 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.

Here is my entry, the Tamiya Beaufighter in 1:48 scale.

Here is my entry; a 1/72 scale Hasegawa Me-109G-6

My entry is of Maj. Robert McWherter's P-51D (early - no dorsal fin fillet) named "Hoo Flung Dung/City of Paris" that I finished somewhat late for the Aluminum Campaign.

I used Tamiya's 1/48th scale P-51D with the following mods:

• Ultracast early P-51 resin tail
  
• True Details resin cockpit
  
• All wing panel lines puttied and sanded and wings painted in silver laquer as per the real laminar flow wings of the P-51s.
  
• Aires gun bay (that I mostly trashed - only using the guns, wing panels, and self-modified ammo rails in the end)
  
• Scratch built gun bay
  
• True Details .50 cal etched brass ammo
  
• True Details wheels (bulges mostly sanded off to avoid "flat tire" look)
  
• Aero-Master Decals
  

Russel hasn't entered a picture in the voting gallery so I have PMd him and said I will wait a couple of days before opening the voting.

No more entries please.

It's in now
