Richard: That's a very clean, sharp-looking Zero! Well done!
Jeff: My jaw nearly dropped at your Tojo! If my entry looks half as nice as yours, I'll be very happy!
Jonathon: Nice to see how well that Orion came out despite all the issues you were having earlier, it looks great!
It's down to crunch time with my George. No pics at this point, but painting and decals are complete, right now I'm just mentally willing the Future to dry faster so I can weather it and finish already!

Well I'm calling this one done. 2nd Build of 2014 and 1st I'm not embarrassed of.
It's not 100% accurate I'm sure, but I'm pretty happy with it. There's definitely things I'd do different 2nd time around but good learning experience. Thanks for everyone that gave compliments or constructive criticism.
Cheers
Jeff
Looks amazing Jeff!
Jonathon - Orion looks great. Don't forget to add pics to the gallery.
To Eric, Magnus and anyone else - roundabout now is the time we start talking about extensions.....anyone interested?

Very nice work everyone!
Obviously I got nowhere on my Raiden
. Here's hoping everyone else is about done, as there are only few days left!
If you're ready, don't forget to post your pics in the gallery, that's how you earn that very classy ribbon.

Silly question: when exactly is the deadline? Midnight of the 31st GMT? Midnight our own local time? Just asking because I am probably going to finish my Shiden-kai within minutes of the deadline.

Some nice finishers around already, and then it is almost 48 hours to go on the Campaign!
Jonathan! That's an impressive pair of aircraft! The Orion is one of those kits that I think many people look at in the LHS but never buy. And those bought probably end up solidly in the unbuilt pile, I don't think I have ever seen it built IRL. The YS-11 is a bit SAAB 340-ish and that always attracts a Swede of course !
Since nobody picked up the glove I'll embarrass myself: Anyone more than me who is almost finished and realises that he/she won't make it that would like a week extra ? If so, I would be deeply thankful if Dear Sir Mr Almighty Campaign Leader could grant it !

I'm not going to exclude anyone on the basis of a few hours, especially when there are multiple time zones involved. I won't be able to check till the evening of the 1st anyway

There's very few campaigns that don't have an extension. How does 2 weeks sound?
Lovely Rufe, Picklehead

Completed all, but the canopy masking leaked a lot, so am cleaning that up.

And I am done too. Mine A5M4-K Claude is finished. And of course since i have a problem in putting pictures in to the gallery. maybe because i am in different time zone (central time zone, Chicago, but it is still before midnight
So it was a first short run i did build. And to be honest i am surprised because it was a pretty easy model to build. Except of course cockpit area which will not fit. Period. But it was notice by other which build it before me.
Other then that it was a nice build and with its orange/dark green camouflage it looks nice and different then other models.
That is mine 2nd campaign which i did finish on time. I am proud of myself

Working on it? You're nearly finished!
Here's mine at this moment. I've got 14 evening sessions to get this finished (less, since I'm out at least 4 of those evenings...)
Eric/Tom, well done on finishing. Tom, were you logged into the gallery section? Sometimes it will randomly kick you out, even if you are logged into Aeroscale still.

Yes, it is beautifully finished! interesting model, I had to google to learn about about the subject. "UN Spacey" notwithstanding , it has clearly recognizable Hinomaru markings. 
macotra4- I love that green and orange Claude. Tandem open cockpits
- must have been a fun aircraft to fly.
