Have any Campaign Ribbons been awarded yet?

Mike,

As there is an extension until the end of the month (next Wed.), I was waiting until then to award ribbons to everyone who has posted their finished model in the gallery.

Final photos of my Ju-88A-1 for the campaign, there not as good as I would have liked as I can’t fit it in my Photo / Spray Booth to take the shots. I didn’t get time to do the weathering I wanted to do or fix the bent aerial, but I will do that in time! I really enjoyed this kit, it looked a bit scary at the start but everything fitted well, instructions were good and the decals were very nice. Now where the hell am I going to put it!!!!

John, that Junkers of yours came out excellent, congrats! As with the needed space, I've got the same problem with my Flying Fortress
For the time being it sits on the dining room table very well, but in the end will be hanging from the ceiling. Obviously in landing approach modus, for the undercarriage had no in-flight option nor was it movable as with my old Airfix kit in 1/72.
I still have to put my pictures into the campaign gallery.
Cheers to all
Peter

Thank you

Hello mates,

I've just loaded the pictures up to the gallery and wish you all a very happy new year in good health and enough time for our hobby!
Many thanks for that fine campaign!
See you in the next one in 2015

December was a very busy month but I am glad to say I have finally finished my 1/72 Academy B17 with a day to spare.

This wasn't a bad kit however for anyone interested in purchasing an Academy Kit be aware that I found the kit decals useless and had to buy an aftermarket set. This added to the cost and the kit ended up being quite expensive. Also I have been waiting over a month for the aftermarket decals which are yet to arrive but luckily used some old hobby boss P47 for the USAAF symbols. Hopefully the decals will arrive one day and I can finish the plane entirely.

Some in progress shots.

Had a lot trouble fixing a large gap between the wing roots and the fuselage





Painting including different panels with various Alclad tones.







The final product minus the aftermarket decals which are MIA









Thanks for the campaign and the extension.

James and John. Thunders from down unders. Those are both top shelf.

Very nice metal finish on the Fortress James.

John,

The Junkers came out excellent! I love the fading and wear....

James,

That is a fantastic metal finish.... Makes me think I may want to do my 17 in metal........

Excellent job everyone! I have awarded ribbons, if you think you should get one and didn't, please be sure you've posted at least two kits of your finished build in the gallery, which you still have until midnight to do.

Thanks for all the great models!

Michael
