Ben, love the cockpit work for the Cannuck!

I concur!

Andrew, I am very happy Victor is being built.

That Gnat and your colorful Hunter, super to see.

Thanks Fred!

I had to re-coat the bottom and finish some touch ups, I think I can clear coat now and add decals.

Cheers Rob.

That F-4 looks so cool ,Rob. Well done on a difficult camo scheme!!!

Thanks Ben!

It's a shame I made more work for myself by trying to freehand it.

Cheers Rob.

Rob-----Sharp lookin' Rhino.

I laid down the camo coat on the Lanc. This was about an hour and half of masking followed by about four minutes of painting......and lot's of tape! Touch ups and weathering to follow.

Best wishes,


Ian

Hi Ian,
Thanks! and well done on the Lanc.

Clear coat on... but it felt rough in a couple of spots and after sanding requires a couple more touch ups.

Cheers Rob.

Here is my entry for the campaign this wonderful little kit arrived quite some time ago from Fred and was one of the ones Russell had made a start to as can be seen in the first photo. The wings were together but that was as far as the little model got. As most of you know I stopped modelling completely last year but as soon as Tomcat told me about the campaign I knew I had to take part in it I just hope I can do this wonderful little kit justice.





This is the current state of the kit I managed to get a base coat of the interior colour onto the model and spent a fair amount of time reading through the instructions still can not decide what markings for it to be finished in.

A really neat entry, Sam. With your modelling prowess, I'm certain you'll be making a beauty to place in the gallery.


Perhaps you should purchase a lotto ticket. You'll have a better chance at winning that, than you will getting modelling out of your blood.

True that , never leaves the blood . Great see you back Sam , Russell would be proud !

@Rob - that camo on the Phantom looks incredible.

I have the paint on, the base coat on the struts, just waiting on my EZLine supplier, as there is no Canadian Mail Order for it, and the actual company won't ship to Canada, so have to go overseas. Unreal.

Thanks Kevin!

Well this one's for Russell:







Finished at break-neck speed by my standards and I enjoyed it. Little silvering and a stray drop of lacquer thinner burned some decals, weathering was dodgy. Very pleased all the same.

I'm utterly certain that Russell would love that result.

The P-47 looks awesome, Richard. Very attractve scheme.

Richard---A fine looking -47. Well done sir.

Best wishes,

Ian

Nice one Richard!

Cheers Rob.

Thanks everyone. I'm pleased to see Russells campaign going so well. There are great works happening here. And I must say it has turned me around on 72 scale!

This came in the mail today and I will start after it gets a bath.

Hi, all. With the hard-drive on my PC hatched, I have to borrow my daughter's PC. It makes it hard for me to post anything. You ever try to rip a PC away from a girl??!!

Anyway, you may remember my last post's showing my evil failed attempt to make a featureless cockpit look decent. Here's some photo's to remind you:



I've been working away at improvements, and came up with this, which will just have to do:


Of course, compared to the real thing, this cockpit is pure fantasy. So what, it's been fun.
The work is quite further advanced since these photos were taken, but, posts may have to wait for a new hard-drive. Sorry. Ben

Looks good so far Ben!

I discovered that I have no decals to depict a Vietnam era F-4E so have had to order some from Hannants as that was the only place I could find any.

So I will start working on the base and ground equipment as well as all the ordnance.

Cheers Rob.

Ben---Nice work on your CF-100 so far. Hope you get the PC situation worked out.

Rob----What decals are you going to be using?

Best wishes,

Ian

Cheers Rob.

Nice sheet, Rob. Looking forward to seeing your Rhino decked out in those decals.

Regards,

Ian

I am going to use the shark mouth and here are a couple of teaser photos that give an idea of what I plan.

Cheers Rob.
