Hi guys
Sorry about the lack of leadership and progress at the moment as Mrs Torch has not been to good lately
Jesper... Well done mate the 104 looks superb,those markings and cammo really set it off,great job
Ken ...Your 104 looks great fella,can you make the pics bigger?
Allen will extend the campaign if anyone needs more time
Well,I've managed to do a bit of masking and priming on the "fleet"
I'll try to get some Alclad on this weekend
Have fun and stay tuned
Andy

Hey Torchy, I'm sure I've seen that flight of classics in a Thunderbirds episode !
I managed some time to put a coat of "Aircraft Grey" (Gunze H57) on my Voodoo thismorning.
You look after Mrs Torch mate, we'll still plod along here for sure.
Cheers, D

Andy, your builds are looking good. I'm sure they will be awesome once completed!
Sorry about the earlier pic. I'm posting the pics of the completed kit.

Great looking 104 Ken! Well I still haven't been able to get my camera up and working yet so you will have to suffer with the poor ones from the mob phone!
Promise to post some half decent ones when the camera back up and running.
Cheers,
Nick.

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
I joined this campaign donkey's years ago with every expectation of being able to take aprt. Then life intervened, and I got badly bogged down in an Airfix Vulcan, and as one thing piled up on top of another there was almost no time left to get going. To be honest I was a little thrown by the January start - I was expecting the second half of the year, for no good reason.
And now to cap it all I've managed to whack my thumb with a rubber mallet, and so I have no idea when any more modelling will be possible. Oh, bugger.*
So, I'm afraid I shan't be able to take part. I don't think starting on the very last day of a campaign is quite playing the game, after all. But it's been good to see that the big Monogram F-101 can be beaten, and if some kind soul will keep the thread open, I'll post progress as I make it, even if it is a little outside the official envelope. Just don't anyone give me a campaign ribbon!
Now, pity me - I have to rescribe a Voodoo in gloss white plastic ...

Thanks, Nick. Your F105 looks great and menacing. A clearer picture will do it justice..

Oraora, great work on your Starfighter. You dont often see models in Taiwanese markings very often so a good choice.
Torchy, how much extra time would you willing to add on to extend the campaign? When things have quietened down a bit I can get back on track with this one.

Due to the shear volume of campaigns that we have going at the moment I would only extend this by a month to make way for the other campaigns starting.

Hi Ken. That monster Mossie is underway for my "Zerstorer" Campaign, it's just taking Mr Torch a little longer than those sweet little jets !

Looking good!
