Post your 3 pictures for the January 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 Victor - nice work, but unfortunately I think your submission violates the following rule:
"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.

Hi all. I'm throwing this one in for 3 reasons:
1. I'm determined to enter 1 model every month this year.
2. I'm amazed I actually finished it (see P-51 Campaign thread for details).
3. For a laugh !!
Here it is, the awesome Modelcraft 1/48 F-82E Twin Mustang. I'm not sure that it qualifies as OOB because there's almost as much Evergreen in there filling gaps as there is actual kit parts !! The kit decals were shattered, so I used some spares from the Tamiya 1/48 F-84G. It was my first attempt at using Alclad and Promodeller Weathering Wash. Enjoy.
Cheers all, and good luck to all for MOM January 2011

I'm in and I want to enter at least 3 others this year. Took me 4 years to complete this but that's another story. It's Hasegawa's 1/48th AV-8B II Plus.

Hi all,
This is another 1/144 conversion of mine. This time from the F-toy's Ju88A-4 to a Ju88R-2. With Replacement BMW engines instead of the Jumos and new nose and canopy as well as radar antenna.
The cockpit is detailed with seats and control column as well as instrument panel.
There are 27 decals added to this plane not including the wing crosses!
The paint is hand done by brush and fine needle. It is weathered gently.
