Welcome to A Tale of Two Tails! This campaign is all about aircraft with more than one vertical tail surface. The campaign will run from 1 December, 2019 through 1 June, 2020.

If you want to see the rules and sign up, go here. Post campaign related discussion and in-progress photos in this thread. Pics of finished models should be posted in the campaign gallery.

Looking forward to models of those airplanes with multiple tail feathers!

Here is my entry photo.

Well, I've been chatting along like I'm signed up for this one. Well, fixed that. Now I gotta dig out something to build.


Hmmm, I did start the F-14 for Postage Stamps. Maybe the P-38, of the YF-23.

So here is my enty photo:

My entry will be a 1/48 F-18C with some aftermarket stuff:

Here are my start pics:





First step will be to see if I can successfully tint the canopy, not normally something I'm good at.

Two complete kits in one box.

Hi there!
I just signed up for the campaign and am going to be a model with Tamiya.I have been wanting to make Heinkel He-219 for a long time and the campaign is the reason to start building it.
Here are the initial photos:




That's it for now.
Good luck to all.

I just joined: SR-71 Blackbird.
Its the old Revell 1/72 scale kit.
Pics soon...

And pics...
Fresh out of the dish soap bath, on the towel drying.





Apparently I built the D21 Drone at some point, probably when my kids were little and wanted it.



Next up: Painting

Hello everyone!
My first work progress on my project.
Here are some photos.












Good luck. Kalin

Little more done - getting there...

Interior done and body joined.
Most of the sub-assemblies too.

Kalin - Good stuff, nice detailing.

Little update on mine.
Its up on wheels. Most sub parts painted.
Drone camo started - will be Arctic 3 color.

Here's my entry:

Good evening,
the actual start of my build was somehow delayed, because life had a slightly different idea of how I should spend my time. By now I was able to start the F-18. The resin seat I intended to use was, well, kind of underwhelming, so I stuck with the plasic one. As it is without any seatbelts I added the pilot, who needed some persuasion to fit into the cockpit.

Meanwhile the cockpit tub was added to the fuselage and the main parts have been glued together. Fit of the parts is quite good.

The resin intakes from Maestro Models need a lot of adjustment and tweaking, not exactly a drop-in replacement. After considerably thinning the plastic parts and some head-scratching, I found a sequece wich should simplify the installation (at least for me ):



Not sure how to fit the resin compressor blades, the will definitely need some reworking.

Best regards
Christian

My work progress. I have finished the construction and the painting is in order.
Here are some photos.

Aircraft and Drone painting done.
Started w/ kit decals. Micro Sol attacking the Future Clearcoat...

Calling this one done. More pic's this weekend.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Tom, this is an extremely good job. I like it. Congratulations.

And this is my work progress after painting. After marking and varnish, I modulated the base color with oil paint.
Here are the photos.











For now, this is it.

Here is my entry, Special Hobby 1/72 Messerschmitt Me264 V1.

Hello,

Happy New Year 2020 to all !

My project for this campaign:

I'd like to join with this. Notoriously slow builder, but hopefully get it done in time. Or it'll be another hangar queen campaign for me! It'll be oob, no etch or aftermarket. It's a Revell PV-1 Ventura 1/48 btw.

Pete,

Not sure what happened there, but your picture didn't come through.

Michael

I woke up earlier than expected, so I took the opportunity to start the building and the painting.

Aah... I linking it to Google Photos, but deleted it from there after I posted it (twit!)... should be restored now?
Cheers, Pete

Sorry Pete, still nothing.

Michael
