Camouflage? What's that? That is a truly striking airplane, Van!

You're good, well done!

I figure, as long as you get done while it's still July 14 somewhere on Earth, you're legit.

Spiffing!

Well, not bad all. 66 images of 19 different models. I consider that a successful campaign!

Few hours left here, let's see if anyone else can make it an even 20 (or more, I'm not picky!)

Well, I think my uploading problem was an operator head in space issue. It kept telling me it had uploaded the pic but there was nothing in the gallery. Problem was I was using full size pics 2+Mb, and it really wanted much smaller flavors. I used just under 70kB abd they uploaded ok,,,,,,

There you go Mark, you made it! Good work, love that P-61. Can't wait to see the real one flying again out of Mid Atlantic Air Museum. Russell

Thanks, It was a bit of a challenge, when I got it the landing gear was missing, the underwing racks and stores bits were missing. It was a bit of a rivet farm. And as fits a kit of it's vintage, the gear doors are designed to be displayed open, so they don't fit closed well.

Just put my Beaufighter in the gallery. Unfortunately camo is not really that visible on the pictures... Focke Wulf will not be finished, to much new stuff happening in life (a new born)

Here is the long awaited Bf 110G-4/R3 from Monogram. I am in the process of masking the canopy. Need to add a few more antennas. That is the only non-painted item that is not installed. A few fellows here did state that they were interested in my progress of lack there of. Next time, and there will be many more. I will drill out the exhaust suppressors, add a lip to the underneath wing for it is a butt joint. This will hopefully eliminate some of the step that is present. Drill some small holes lower than the prescribed location. For the wheel struts which as designed are raked too far forward. In attaching the wing mounted fuel tanks was a hair puller. Trying to align the support brackets to the fuel tanks in relation to the wing holes. They are on and that is all I am going to say about that. The decals were unusable thus I scrounged around for some usable ones. Thus some are mismatched. I modelled the mount flown by Gruppenkommander Mjr.Paul Korner. Picture and assistance supplied by the Bf 110 books by Kagero.
With seeing the previous finished models I am impressed, even the Airfix rendition of the P-61 is a head turner. I do apologise for not commenting upon the completed models. My words apply to all.

Well.....
I made a valiant effort to finish, if I do say so myself.
I lost more than a couple of weeks to hot weather could not build till I got an air conditioner installed.

Anyways here is where it's at.

Cheers Rob.

Congrats to all and well done! A valiant effort by those who didn't quite get there!

Well, I think it was a very good campaign and I thank all who made it so interesting. Excellent models everyone! I'll be passing out awards as soon as I get a bit of time.
