Sweet kit Dave......those props look challenging

Adam and Eirik looking good with those Hawks.
Van wish you luck as I know you are suffering with your Lotus in Large scale.

Quick question for Dave (campaign leader):

I started a Strike Eagle build for the loony tunes campaign in early April but was unable to finish it in time to earn a ribbon there due to some bad luck with the kit decals.

Would you allow me to finish that build in this campaign? I started within the right time frame, but I of course posted my in progress stuff in that thread.

here is my first post (1/3 of the way down the page) in that campaign:
https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/forums/200443&ord=&page=6

anyway, this request follows the letter of the law, but perhaps not your interpretation of the intent. Let me know what you think (no worries if you don't think it is appropriate)

Vance . i dont have a problem with that the more the merrier

Well i have made a start on the E2 and i have to say that this kit is very nice indeed the panel lines and rivet detail are great and the fit is also very nice.I have built up the cockpit section and glued it into the fuzz , I didnt go mad with the detail as most of it will be hard to see but heres a few pics of what i have done so far...






more coming soon

Thank you!

i'll catch this thread up with my build a little later today

A quick update with my E2 , iv got the two fuzz halfs together and made a nose weight ready to go in the instructions say to use 50 grams but iv gone for 70 just to be sure

About time I threw my hat in the ring with this one. My bird of choice is this:



A Desert Falcon, only my Desert Falcon will look more like this...

Nice kit Neil im looking forward to this one

Hi all ,

I know, it is a long time ago that I have posted the last time. But sometimes there are more important things than modelling (how silly this sounds, but unfortunately true ).

My Italeri Harrier GR Mk.3 build has come to a complete standstill due to the bad quality of the kit. I prefer to do the fortcoming Airfix new-release which looks much better. Maybe I can use some of the already prepared small parts.

So I am out of this campaign but I will watch all projects here with interest. Keep building!

Best regards,

Sebastian

Sorry to see you go Seb good luck with the new Harrier

Some work on my Hawk now I finished my other build.



Hope to get some done this week.

Pete

spent a few hours on the hawk yesterday. Mainly joining the fuse and wings, and then filler and rescribing, damn thats time consuming.




And undercarriage


Hope to get some more done today.

Cheers Pete

hello, my Sea Harrier has crashed (the pilot save ), I could not finish it. I start a Harrier GR 3 instead.
steph

Hey Steph good luck with this one buddy, maybe retire the pilot, if he keeps crashing and burning you jets

Pete

steph

Hi Steph,

that´s a very nice kit of the GR 3 that you have. Unfortunartely hard to get...
You are a lucky man!

Regards,

Sebastian

Some great builds coming along on here guys
Heres a quick update on my E2 ...

I got the engine nacelles with the landing gear together...



and attached them to the wing there is quite a bit of sanding and filling to do where they join tho ...

Nice work Dave, its coming along nicely.

Pete

Does a Blackburn Roc qualify for this campaign?
Cheers
Warren

Well I managed to get some paint on my Hawk, and a few decals. The decals are Xtradecal superb, they lay down great and conform well to panel lines well with a little set and sol.




Still a few decals to put on, and a few bits to finish, but getting there.

Pete

@ Warren .. im going to have to say no im afraid as its not a real bird of prey ... sorry

How about the Skua?

I think we can allow that one .. i found this after a quick search ..
"great skua also regularly kill and eat adult birds, such as puffins and gulls"

Cool! 1/72 Special Hobby Blackburn Skua it is then.

Starting to look like an E-2 now





@ Peter great looking hawk !! nice job on thos decals

@ Warren looking forward to seeing the Skua
