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.

Uh, Hello? Anybody here? I hope it is not too early to submit for December?
Anyway, hello people! I generally hang around at Armorama, being an AFV grunt... but occasionally, I like to get myself out of all that dust, mud and grime and build an aeroplane (and it was my love of flight that got me into modelling the first place).
This will be my model for December's MOM, Tamiya's 1/48 scale Bf 109E-4, straight out of the box. And yes I had to use that pilot as well, since I didn't have PE belts at the time. Tamiya decals were such fun(!) to apply.

Hi again folks, I'm in (as always) with the old Monogram 1/48th P-47 Razorback that I finished today for the Pacific Thunder Campaign on the SIG.
Paints were Tamiya rattle-can for the NMF, Tamiya and Gunze acrylics, and Tamiya weathering set pastels for the soot on the exhaust and ejector ports.
Thanks for looking, and good luck to everybody for MOM December 2010 !!
Cheers, D

Hello all! Good stuff here.
I'd like to enter my 1/48 Revell B-26. I built this for the son of Lt. Ed Vollenweider, who flew 72 combat missions over Europe in "Mild and Bitter", "Patches", and "Flak Bait". I did a rescribe on this beast, along with scratchbuilding the pilots seats and many other details in the pit, gearbays and bombardiers station, as well as many other bits of detail here and there. MM enamels, wash and pastels for the finish.
(Not sure how to post a pic to the voting page????)

Sorry to take up space here, but, how in the heck does one go about posting a pic on the voting page??? I've looked the thing up and down, no joy, or maybe I'm an idiot!

So no announcement of who won?
I can't see it on the homepage and the only way seems to be to log on and count the votes.
