I think that this can't wait until Birds of Prey, so I'll do it here.

Cool choice Jessica.


Wasn't sure if I had to post my start picture over here too, so anyway here it is. Hobbycraft 1/48th scale A-4E and I will be using the new Furball Decals USMC sheet. Going to be VMA-142 or 322....have not decided yet. Either way....grey and weathered!!!!!!!!!


Best wishes, Ian

well, now that it is official

I officially change my mind, my entry to this campaign will be a Tamiya P-51D and not the Demon as previously stated;

This because:

- the P-51 is completely outside my normal jet and chopper orientation and therefore much more appropriate than yet another jet under the "anything goes" header

- and i need the Demon for the ground force campaign

I post some pictures early next week

.... and we're off! I'm doing the F.6 variant, pretty much out of the box, with the addition of Eduard Masks and a cockpit ladder. Best of luck everyone!

Oh boy, have I been hanging in for this one. This is what I'll be doing, it's a nice little 1/48th scale kit from the looks of it. There is quite a bit of White Metal bits for the landing gear, exhausts, etc

I am going to build this one, since it doesnt qualify for the "Birds of Prey". Hope the time frame will be long enough!

Wow thanks everyone to signing up what a fantastic range of different kits and models already

here is my entry as I could not decide I got Allen to pick one from the stash for me. So without further ado my entry will be Italeri's (Accurate Miniatures) Sturmovik



Have sprayed the interior colour onto some parts while Allen left the airbrush bay unattended

Likewise I couldn't decide so to add to the wide variety Sam picked this kit out of the stash for me to build.



and the cockpit parts have been primed and sprayed in Gunze H307

Cleaning up...



This little Sukhoi is pretty big.. check it up near a Frogfoot



Still more clean up, the cockpit is poor, awful fit, instructions are a mess..

In other words, a typical AModel kit.

I did one Amodel kit maybe 6 yrs ago.. I kinda forgot what it was like..

That's too bad because they have some unique subjects, prototypes, yak's 25/28, etc..

The decals look quite good, some nice detailing near the engine and flaps.
.. but that cockpit.. gee what a nightmare... If this turns out as bad as I think it will I might get another kit for this Campaign..

Hey y'all! Sooo, sprues washed, first batch of parts primed and basecoated. These are all the parts that need painting before inserting into the fuselage. As one of Airfix's brand new toolings, my expectations were very high, and I'm glad to say the kit entirely justifies it. So far, it is the best Airfix kit I've ever built and it banishes memories of some of their absolute shockers of old.


One of the things that has really impressed me about the instructions is the very clear and concise way it shows you where to place the required 20g of nose weight (to prevent tail sitting, natch!). Basically I packed as much weight into the cone shaped radar housing as possible, the rest will have to go fore and aft of the cockpit tub, as well as between the underside of the air intake and the top of the nose wheel well, in such a way as it cannot be seen through the air intakes.
