Post your 3 pictures for the October 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.

So finally the gallery is open for the October MOM.

Althought there are only a few days to go beffore the end of the month don't panic. If you have an entry for the October MOM it is more than likely that it is finished and if not you were planning to put it in Novembers MOM anyway, so:

If you have an entry for the October MOM get it posted soonest, I will leave the gallery open for entries for 1 week. If you have an entry but for some reason you cannot post it within one week then drop me a PM. Like I said above though you can always post it in next months MOM.

It is likely that it could take some time to get Novembers MOM gallery open so please bare with me if it's not up whan it should be.

Right, get posting and if you haven't voted for the September entries get voting

Had this finished a few weeks ago and was waiting for this months contest to open.
Built fot the Corsair's the Sky Pirates campaign this is the Tamiya 1/48 Vaught F4U-1A Corsair with the addition of some Eduard PE in the cockpit and painted with a mixture of Tamiya and Revell paints.







This was my first Corsair and was a joy to build .

Hello guys,
this is my contribution to the MoM...

I made a few minor modifications:
- the elevator and ailerons were separated

- the fuselage holes for the elevator control cables are repositioned according to the photo of the particular machine

- resin engine from Vector is used

The roundels are used from the kit's decal sheet, the red stripes and the rudder were masked and sprayed, the stylized "R","RENE" and "2779" number were tracked from the photo in a graphic program and printed on a decal paper...
