Gonna have to sprint for the finish line.

half the decals placed, needs a clear coat, and add the fiddly bits.

With a delay, but I managed to complete my project in the campaign.






It was a pleasure for me to participate. My experience of participating in Aeroscale campaigns is invaluable, as my interests are mainly in ground armaments.
Have fun.
Kalin

Really good, Kalin, my congrats!
The He-219 was always one of my favorite WW II airplanes.

My Osprey is done, just needs a flat coat and masking removed. Will spray tonight and post pictures tomorrow.

Done, done, done.

Italeri 1/72 YF-23 Black Widow.

Simple kit, few details, only a couple of decals.


That's 4 finishes for May.

Mark - well done. Four completed in May is impressive!
A quick and dirty pic of my Osprey. I'll go outside this afternoon and take some proper pics for the gallery. This is my 9th completed model for the year!

Wow, Neil, that is a big bird! I paged back a bit, but I didn't see the kit or the scale. Who's is it. I think I have the RoG/ Hasegawa 1/72 flavor in the stash. No idea how to display it, but in flight on a stand seems like the way to go now.

Thanks Mark, its the Hasegawa 1/72 kit. Be wary of the Revell kit as it's probably the old Italeri kit reboxed and is absolutely terrible. It's a very inaccurate depiction of the prototype with raised panel lines and terrible fit! I'm no rivet counter, but that Italeri kit in no way shape or form resembles an in-service Osprey.
The Hasegawa kit comes with the stand, as all their recent 1/72 new tool kits do (F-35, Typhoon)

Scrap, you're right, I musta misread something. It's clearly descended from the Italeri kit.

Alas, time to wind this one down. Very well done to all and congrats to those who finished! A very nice group of models indeed!
Ribbons have been awarded, so if you didn't get one and think you should have, let me know.
See you all around the site, and thank you!

Well Scrap, that was brilliant. I took them, shrank them put them on line and on my drive and then FORGOT to post them in the one place that mattered.

I'll get them up once I'm on my home computer.
