I feel your pain. We've all been there just keep at it for a little longer.

Hmmm..... I wasn't intending getting any more aftermarket for the Lightning, then I noticed how little detail there was in the undercarriage bays! That was Saturday, I ordered a small PE set which arrived this morning, and here it is:

The parts are OK, but the supplied instructions may as well be in Chinese, they make no sense at all. A little research
online gave me a fair idea where to put them.

John the A model kits are allways a problem (fit, plastic, etc)

Hi All,

Some interesting builds happening here so far.

I've done a bit more on my F-16c {Block 30} as I've decided on a 'What If' mixed fictional scheme, serial number and markings.



The Insignia White applied to the fuselage and wings will is for the serials and roundels, which will be painted on using the Maketar Masks.

Ok here is a little update

Hi Everybody, a quick update! Here is a before and after shot of the nose wheel bay, showing the gaps and general lack of detail and after showing the application of a little filler and PE.


.... and the main wheel bays:

And finally, the wings and tail go on!


Keep it up everyone!

Hi Jon,

Although there is nothing explicitly written in the rules there is an un-written rule that the same model cannot be built for more than one campaign as this is unfair for other members if you were to get 2 ribbons for one model while other members would get the same 2 ribbons for building two different kits. (the exception to this is the current diorama campaign where you can use an aircraft from another campaign as long as its not the main subject).

Can you please choose which campaign (this one or Night fighters) you would like to use the Corsair for and select another kit for the other campaign.

Thanks

Allen

Please disregard my post of the corsair....mistakenly posted it in here...belongs in devils in the dark campaign

Hello all.

Got my build started. I'm going small scale with this one, A 1/144 Minicraft F104 Starfighter. I'm going to be building 2 of these kits, pretty much side by side, I'll be building one in German markings for this build. (the other build will get U.S. markings)

Here are the photos of my kits in the box and my started assembly






These are the fist aircraft I've done in this scale and so far so good.

No worries Jon, I thought that might have been the case but posted to be on the safe side.

Got the cockpit done on the Spitfire IXc, what a lovely kit from AZ

Mark

Now it's time for the Goshawk to have some love
I've splashed a bit of paint about some of the interior bits



Once that's dry I can start playing about with detail painting.

This is a fun campaign. I've picked up a few new techniques reading the posts.

Drilled out cowl to add fishing weights.

Well ive finally started my kit for this build i went with a 1/72 scale Ju88 A4/D1 am gonna mark it up as a D1 version long range recon the kit is from Revell Germany this is my first Aircraft build in a very long time so im not gonna try to aftermarket it into beyond am knocking a lot of rust of the modelling cogs so i hope it turns out well photos to come shortly

Some test fitting
Cockpit and engine. There's not a great deal of room for nose weight in there

Fuselage semi-closed up

Wings

All of a sudden it looks like an airplane

Hi,
Would this work for this campaign? I know it's been started but that was a long time ago and not much is done and what is done will now have to be stripped and re-done.

Cheers Rob.


PS If this is alright I'll put the pieces in some Pine-Sol to strip the paint.

Hi all .. Well iv made a start on my A6 ill be building the A6-E version and also OTB so no after market items this time .. Iv done a bit of the instrument panel and made some nose weights heres a few pics of things so far ..

I can't see why not as it look s like only the wings have been built and attempted to be painted

I will have to start a new build for this campaign the ju 88d1 was found this morning missing a wing and both Landing gear and i have yet to locate the cockpit glass spure, what was found was completely chewed up Thanks to the Dog, So in its place i am going to build a 1/48 scale F105 F/G

I suppose that the Insurance people would call that an Act of Dog.

lol yes they would with help from a certain Cat who remains in Hiding at this time. the kits a Revell F-105F/G 1/48 scale Kit #85-6868 so starting over should have a few pic's monday
