Post your 3 pictures for the August 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.

Guess I'll go first. Here's my Revell of Germany 1/72 Fw 200 C-4 Condor.
Built straight out of the box using kit decals (except for swastikas which are courtesy of my decal stash) and painted with White Ensign Models enamels.

Hi guys, I'm back !

Here's my Aussie Sea Fury, built for the Camm-paign. It's the 1/48 Hobby Craft kit, built OOB, with Aussie Decals.





And here's a pic of the real deal from this year's Avalon Airshow. You can barely tell the difference, sort of !


Good luck to all entrants this month.

Cheers, D

Here's Hasegawa's HS129B-3 in 1/48. I used the Verlinden detail set, Lifecolor paints and Pro Modellers detailing wash.

I built the Eduard 1/48 P-39Q oob. I used a combo of tamiya, lifecolor, and model master acrylics, and had the chance to try my new Iwata Eclipse CS airbrush. Needless to say it is waay better then my Paasche VL. This kit gave me much less head scratching then the Fw-190 A-5 also from Edward that I built earlier this month.

Hey guys I just realised that since I have been drafted into service as a Campaign Administrator on the P-47 SIG site I am no longer eligible to enter the MoM Competitions.

Oh well, I never stood much of a chance anyway, you guys are just waaaaaaay to good, and I still get to vote !

Cheers, D
