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.

This is my entry for this months MOM .
I built this for the what if camaign. I called it what if the Brazilians ever decide which aircraft to buy.Built from the Revell 1/48 Rafale B with the addition of some homemade seat belts.Painted using a mixture of Tamiya ,revell and Vallejo paints and the markings from the spares box and some printed by myself.







Good luck to all who enter.

I'll join this MOM with a RAF P-51 Mustang Mk.I that I recently completed. This was built as a relaxation project. The kit is the good old Accurate Miniatures kit, with the addition of Ultracast exhausts, early-type Mustang wheels and pilot's seat. Painted with Gunze and Tamiya acyrlics (and a little Alclad for aluminium surfaces).







Good luck to all entries!

I think I'll join in this MoM, I recently finished a 1/72nd scale P-51D Mustang in the markings of the Chinese Nationalist Air Force. The kit is from Academy and was built OOB with the exception of aftermarket decals from the company PMA.

The model is hand painted with Citadel, Revell and Vallejo acrylics and was weathered with a Flory Models Wash and a Tamiya Weathering Set.

I'll jump in with another Mustang. This is Tamiya's 1/48 kit with Eagle Cal decals.
