Jesper: Very nice, indeed! Seems to be the right scale between the swallow and the cars. But, probably You should buy Your kids more Planes

Oliver

I´m going to begin this campaign with a Tamiya Me-262,

Jesper, Damian, Thomas and Oliver. Thank you for your kind words. Been really caught up with work off late - hope to get some time on the bench this weekend

Jesper: A great build an colouring. That's a very clean and unique 262 and it turns out extremely nice. Congrats for finishing so quickly. Maybe you give the panel lines a bit more strenght to break up the all over look?

And the cars have an awesome paint job, well done by your kids
Thomas

Daniel Nice to see one more and a good start. But my crystal ball is showing that you still have a looong way to go...
Thomas

Thanks for the comments, Oliver. I am way ahead of you with the planes One need to ensure the next modeling generation

O.K., managed to get those decals on (a lot of small ones not much visible). Took me 3 evenings with the help of Mr. Mark Setter and Softer. Now they lie down very smooth. The Swastika is a bit too small but the only one I had from another kit and I also could not find a "white outlined 4" -so what...
The fuselage band are airbrushed.
Now waiting for "Weatherman" to blend all down and give more life.




Thomas

@Jesper--excellent build, and interesting diorama!

@Daniel--nice start. You'll be passing me soon too.

I took a chance and tried applying the cockpit decals. Lo and behold--they worked! I was pleasantly surprised with how well they lined up with the instrumentation, and how well they laid down inside all the bezels and over all the switches.



I had high hopes of painting the red and white on the dial edges, but in this small scale (read that: "with these aging eyes"!) that ain't gonna happen.

Keith

Keith, that is outstanding details on the cockpit. My eyes hurt just looking at the picture. Great job!

Last night advances with the Me-262, running

More advances on the Me-262,

Im in with one of the smallest, trying to get something descent out of it, well underway but not sure what and how it's going to turnout as I lost a vital part,..Later more once finished.





A little bit of scratch building on this tiny thing


Almost finished,.. im missing something




The start of the diorama,.. more to follow

What a hornet's nest of activity in the final official days of the Campaign! As I stated earlier, please don't rush your builds to get finished by the official due date, there will be a few of us grinding away for several more weeks I'm sure.

Jan, welcome aboard with the baby of the bunch, great work so far.

Daniel, thanks for joining in at this late stage with your build, excellent interior detail work in such a short time!

Thomas, very nice job on the decals, I look forward to the weathering stages now. Thanks for the confirmation on the fuselage interior paint as well, if I get time I might paint it over with flat aluminium.

Jesper, congrats on getting finished mate, nice work on a striking scheme. Love the little 4-wheeled intruders as well !

Keep up the work rate everybody, I'm loving the regular updates coming in.

Roll Call/Build Status post is once again updated.

Cheers, D

Thanks Damian for you comments.

I´m one wich is going to ask for a few days more

I know I can´t finish it for the 31st with the quality I want.

Thanks

Well everyone, only a couple of days left. What's the verdict? Damian, asking for more time?

Michael

Hi Michael,

I am not gonna make it in time. I put on some decals but there is some more to add and then all the small parts. Damian already allowed a fortnight more time which is probably what I need. Next weekend is our (IPMS D) show in Berlin Gatow so another weekend lost.

Here it is in the current state:



all the best

Steffen

Well, if Damian is down with a two week extension I'm happy to agree!

Michael

Would like to have the little extansion as well.
I hope with the help of the weather to be finished until the weekend.

Since this is a fantastic campaign it would be great to have at least 2 weeks more extension to to see all of the guys (as well as me)finishing their builds. Thanks Michael for your agreement.
Thomas

Damian,

Are you ok with a two week extension?

Michael

Yesss, me too

Progress updating, just finished the camouflage, ready to apply decals.

Beautiful work on the camouflage, Lap man. Really nice airbrush work.

Looking forward to see more.

Alright, this campaign has been extended to 14 Sept. But that's it, so get 'er done everyone!

Michael

Thanks Michael for the extended,
