Post your 3 pictures for the November 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. 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 is 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 compliance with these rules may result in disqualification.
15. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for not abiding by them.

Hi all, I'll jump in first with my 1/48 Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. Just finished today for the Close Air Support Campaign. OOB except for the little piece of wire for the whip antenna.





Cheers and good luck all, D

Damian: I love your dragonfly- it looks like a cute little aircraft that the A-Team have gone mad with, and has come out looking mean.


Well, here is my first entry in MOM, and it has taken a while!

1/72 scale Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib. This scene is set at Hildesheim in August 1945, when 193 Squadron gave a demonstration of napalm bomb use. The Squadron had used napalm operationally just once, possibly the only time it was used by the RAF during the war.

See the build thread here, with a lot of photos at the end. Built from the Academy kit, it has some aftermarket parts: such as the AirWaves tailplanes, bomb racks, CMR 90 gal tanks, Aeroclub canopy; and some scratch-built parts: including the gunsight and tubular structure holding it, the belly-bounted air filter, and the wheel well details.

WOW guys - some seriously classy builds here. I'll throw in with my recently completed Eduard 1/48th BF 110-c. It was a difficult build but in my opinion the best looking kit of this plane.

I think there should be three catergories; one for the most of us, one for the professionals and then one for Chuck, the "outer this bloody world" class.

Chuck is right up there with the best of them, but the online SBS builds set him apart. Long may it continue

Actually I'd love to see him work that magic in a small scale. That would be a rare treat, hint, hint.
