Fantastic!

Richard: Great job!

Diego: Keep at it, you'll get there!

Trevor: Nice, that camo is tough to do!

Van: Great work on an old kit!

Pedro: Moving along!

All: I use too many exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, a lot great stuff heading towards the deadline. As I said, we're extended to July 14, but don't slow down. I expect a tremendous gallery!

Michael

I agree with Michael there are some fantastic builds going on here!

LOL and on a lesser note here are some progress pics on my Widow the red walkway lines are all individual stripes measured and cut to size ..... a little tedious but don't look too bad.

Hi all,

Here goes some few more pics of the job so far...lotta putty as expected

just noticed that the kit only provides the short version rudder, which apparently this version did not used

no modeling time this weekend, but should get a good work pace during next week

Cheers

Back on schedule to start the decals on the Twin Mustang today, more pictures by the end of the weekend.

Well,
It's been a long time between posts.

There has been a lot of good progress made by everyone!

I think I am almost done with the cockpit, I only have two sets of seatbelts left and to get these windows in.

I started to put the rear side windows in and my first attempt went all pear shaped requiring lots of sanding and polishing to be able to see through the window again.

For the second attempt I tried something different, first I wanted to fill in the bottom inside where the tab is. I used Mr Surfacer 500, it worked OK but took a few layers. I then used Squadron white putty, after masking the window I trowled in putty to fill in the gaps(more on this side than the other) I then sanded it down before removing the tape. It came out well but there was still some small cracked spots and pinholes, so I re-masked the window and painted on some Mr Surfacer 500 and that is where it stands at the moment.

Cheers Rob.

Hi there,
finally I finished my TA-154 just in time. After some broken-off and re-glued radar gear it is ready "to hunt some Mosquitos" :-)
Here is one picture I've taken a few minutes ago. Will put it and some more to the campaign gallery.
Thanks to Michael for a splendid campaign, it was real pleasure.

Excellent stuff everyone!

I have extended the campaign two weeks to 14 July so let's get cracking!

Michael

Okay guys I'm calling this one done. Michael should I put this up in the gallery, I've already got my Tigercat in there?
Here you go guys and gals monograms P61!

Hello,

@Chris, it's a really nice Monogram P-61...!!!

Congrats...!!!!

See You...

Diego

Chris,

Absolutely put it in the gallery! You built it, it fits the theme, bang it in there. Great work, by the way!

Michael

Only made progress on 1 of the 4 sides of the decals this weekend. Getting the decals to snuggle down around the wingtip corners has been an arduous task but I think I will be ready to flip it and do the top side tonight or tomorrow.



Everything else is just about done and waiting for the decals. I'm hoping to finish but it will be a close one for the 14th if the other decals go this slowly.

Great Job Chris!

I think I have finished fitting the rear windows While trying to clean up the first one I messed up I cracked it so had to take one from my second kit. I also tried some styrene to fix the missing rib on the inside but this popped off when sanding so I used putty instead and that worked. A little painting and I can join the fuse.

I was hoping to get a lot more done this weekend but it's been so hot.

Cheers Rob.

Well, I finally got the wings attached.

Hi Guys just tried to upload pics to the gallery but I find I can't, I'm assuming it's because the gallery is now closed?

Closing in on the finish line, fuselage decals start later today and all the other odds and ends are about done. The date was extended to the 14th so the gallery shouldn't be closed.

The gallery remains open, so keep on working, it's looking good so far.

Michael

Hi Michael that's great about the gallery! Can someone explain what I might be doing wrong or the steps I might be missing as I keep getting the error message "The category you chose for this photo can't contain photos."

No idea, it worked fine for me. You're logged in when you're viewing the gallery, right?

Michael

3/4 of the way there! Now we play the waiting game while this side dries, I expect to be able to do the other side of the fuselage Sunday or Monday.

Peter your Moskito, looks great! It probably was a good thing for the allied air offensive at night that this bird didn't see production. I believe the glue which bonded the wood together for the wings was actually corrosive, wasn't it?

Chris, keep up the good work on the P-61.

Pedro, an interesting subject indeed, looking forward to seeing the build.

Van, I have the same kit. I had the Revell kit once before and had to cobble together decals to get my aircraft finished. I will post a couple of shots of the F-82. I think yours looks better. Good job. Russell

Finnaly done!

I decided to build a J 30 which was the RSWAF's first night fighter. I used Aires cockpit, True Details wheels, Quickboost exhaust, Paragon props and the Tamiya NF 2 kit.

Here's some pics and thanks for a good campaign!







Thanks for looking!

Jakob

Wow, Jakob, great looking Mosquito there. Really like the Swedish markings. The right scale too. Of course I am partial to 72 scale. Good work. Russell

HI Guys and Girls .... yes most definitely logged in! I also seem to be unable to load pics to my own galleries .... I wonder if a restart is in order? .... Okay here goes....

Thanks Russell! it did turn out good in the end.

Jakob

Hi All,

Just a week from deadline right? guess I have a pretty good chance of having the honour to post the last photo of this campaign .

Here's an update...lot's of putty, evergreen and sanding to get all those line junctions smooth, latter today and tomorrow time for rescribing lost lines and scribing new fuel tank lines omitted from the kit itself with the help from AIMS templates.
After this, fun time with all painting

Thanks everyone for the feedback posted
