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.

Guess I'll get the ball rolling. This is Eduards 1/48 scale Fw 190-A6 finished almost entirely in Warbird Acrylics.

Here's my entry for this month.
Tamiya's 1:72 scale F-51D Mustang, built for the Korean war campaign on Armorama. Finished almost out of the box, I only added photoetched seatbelts and used rockets left over from a Revell P-47 kit.

Although the red fuselage band, wing-root walk area markings and nose anti-glare panel trim were supplied as decals, I opted to mask and paint those instead to get a match for the wing, stabiliser and rudder tips.

Kit markings used, depicting a plane flown by Captain J.W. Rogers, 36th FBS, 8th FBW.

Hi everyone! This is my first Messerschmitt BF-109F4 / Z Trop built from kits ICM and Zvezda ICM 1 / 48. I tried to build a plane by Oblt. Hans-Joachim Marseille, but decals from the ICM did not allow me to complete it (mark victories have been lost in the process) ...

Here is my entery for this month .

I started with the Lone Star kit of the RAF FE-8 in 48 scale . The only parts used from the kit are the two fuselage halves and the very basic engine , everything else is scratchbuilt .

Hi everyone,

Here's my P-40E that I completed for the P-40 campaign. The kit is Hasegawa's 1/48 P-40E kit with Eagle Strike decals. I also used Eduard's zoom set for the cockpit, exhausts and wheels from Ultracast. After these shots I changed the antennae with a thinner one, but no pics of that, sorry.
