Hi All.
Four days and things are coming to an end...
First up the KV-2 for the Killer KVs Campaign..
As you might or might not remember the Mig-31 and Horch are both finished. So that leaves four to go..
First up, the KV-2
Painted and ready for decals and some weathering maybe..
Secondly, the Bell 47D for the Korean War Campaign,
It may look far from finished but it is very close as there is very little to the aircraft!
Thirdly, here is the F-100D for the Century Series Campaign,
Since I took this photo she has had the main gear doors installed and the first coat of paint applied.. Decals to come soon!
Lastly is the Spitfire, but it is languishing a bit at the moment as I am having 'fun' with the Vallejo paint I purchased for the underneath Azure Blue. I have not used them much and still have lots to learn about them so I am brush painting the undersides. First time I have for ages and it is soooo sloooowww... Oh well.
Thanks for looking.

The Bell has blown a bubble and sprouted a rotor.
The F-100 is ready for decalling.
The Spitty has had its first top coat applied.
And finally, the KV is done.
Thats' three down and three to go. Half way there!!

Warren, in the past I thought of you as a totally competent Aussie, now I know you are "MAD" and I thought that I was the only insane person here with more on the bench than in my head not so. You take that prize I have the phone number to builders anonymous if you want it some where.

Does toll-free work from Australia??
I am beginning to think you may be right about the mad bit. Last time I do so many at once I think.. (famous last words?)
I have been stuck inside for weeks now as it has been raining for well over two months now with only a day or two of fine days. That tends to allow one to build lots.
10th of Jan and I have three finished. Have to redouble my efforts to finish the remainder.. but that doesn't include the SBD for the Anti-SHipping Campaign, the Concorde for the Civilian Only Campaign (awating some serious sanding). or the Bearcat for the Origami Campaign.

And on the thirteenth day he did rest.. well until I have had some lunch then it is back to finish off the SBD!
Here is number five.. Hasegawa 1/32 Spitfire Vb (IIRC!)
and finally,
the 1/32 Trumpeter F-100D.
I am going to dedicate all these models in this one-man campaign to all my fellow Queenslanders who have been affected by the flooding over the past week. Luckily everyone I know is fine, but at least 14 others have passed away, with the liklihood of more to come...
Thanks everyone for looking..
Adeiu for now..
