Hi guys and gals. Here is my entry for MOM. This is Hasegawas 1/48 scale F-16C Fighting Falcon. I like this pic best. This is the first model I used photo-etch parts on. I used Verlindens Aces II ejection seat along with their cockpit detail parts. I plumbed the wheel wells with 34 guage wire to represent hoses and pipes. I added detail to the nose gear with bits of plastic sheet and that same wire that is in the wheel wells. I used Hasegawas Aircraft Weapons Set B for the weapons load. I used ModelMaster Paints overall. The landing gear, interior of gear doors, wheel wells and wheels were painted with gloss white. .
SuperScale decals were used, thanks for looking, Wingman out.

I used Hasegawa’s excellent Bf109G-6 kit, with a few minor modifications. I added a fuel line in the cockpit made from fine solder, including an “observation port” made from stretched, clear sprue. The seat harness was made from lead foil, and Waldron buckles were attached. I also added some “hydraulic” lines on the main gear for the brakes, made from fine gauge wire. These were secured with a few brackets cut from the same sheet of lead foil. After I was finished with the sanding and filling of the fuselage seams, I rescribed the line along the dorsal and ventral fuselage. The corrected propeller spinner was the Eagle Editions resin replacement. I also added a length of fine solder on the ventral fuselage to replicate the small antennae, and 6-0 nylon suture was used for the radio antennae wire. Finally, the gun barrels and exhausts were drilled out.

Markings

The daylight camouflage scheme of 74/75/76 was airbrushed with Gunze-Sangyo acrylics using an Iwata HP-C. I preshaded the model with Testor’s Aircraft Interior Black. I was not able to find any reference material that spoke to the issue of Post-War Finnish Air Force wheel well colors, so I went with RLM 02. A friend of mine suggested that they may have been the same color as the underside color, which would make them RLM 76…. The decals used were from the Aeromaster 48-352: Augsburg Eagles, Pt. III sheet.

Enjoy!

Hi All! this is my entry for MOM June: Hasegawa's 1/48 Macchi MC.205 Veltro

I build this kit last year in the sole purpose to test the Aztek Airbrush I bought! It was the first time I used a double-action airbrush and... Wow! It was a major improvement over the single-action airbrush I used before! I choosed the Italian plane for it's typical camouflage and because I like the beautiful lines of the aircraft.

The kit was build out of the box and I used the kit decals. The only addition was to use two needles to simulate the wing guns. About the decals, I have to say that they silvered very much and I had to make some touch-up's to have a satisfaying result! The Kit was a "Cartograf" special edition, so be carefull if you have one in your stash!


Picture one is my personal favorite...

hello guys! im back from the internet void! heres my contribution to the model of the month, its a heller 1/72 bf 108, with an airwaves etch set, the underside was pre shaded dark blue,as i was wondering how a darker version of the finish colour would turn uot as opposed to using black as i have been, and i think it turned out a nice subtle effect p.s. the first pic is the one i would like as a thumbnail

Hi everyone,

I built this kit some time ago it's a Yank Spitfire Mk.Vc of the 4 FS, 52 FG, USAAF November of 1942 in North Africa. Model is 1/48th Airfix kit and painted with Model Master British desert colors. Decals are from Third Group. Hope you enjoy.

this for thumbnail:

Tamiya's 1/48 P-51B, Capt. Don Gentile's "Shangri-La".

Built out-of-box, with Polly Scale, Pactra and Tamiya paints. No filler was used.

Gentile is known for keeping his steed "immaculate", so weathering is kept to a minimum. Tamiya has a formula to match the red paint on the cowl and spinner with the red of the checkerboard; I don't have either Tamiya reds so mixed-n-matched.

The first pic is my favorite.

Sorry about the late entry, I was going to enter something that I have been working on and it's almost finished. However I have caused myself a bit of a headache with it so I decided to post something else. I thought it would be nice to see a twin engined plane so here is my Revell Heinkel He 111.
1. Kit is the 1/48 Heinkel He 111 H-4/H-6.
2. Built Out Of the Box (OOB), except for wing tip nav lights from clear sprue, trim surface control rods from copper wire and antenna wire from invisible mending thread with white glue insulators. Guns are drilled out.
3. Painted with Xtracolor enamel paints, panel lines and detail given a wash with artist oil colour and white spirit. Paint chips done with a silver pencil.
4. Decals are from the kit.

Aircrafts this month look great...
I don't think i'm going to make it in this month. Still have some work left on the 1/48 Harrier. What the cut-off date this month, hopefully I can finish.

OK, entries are now closed.
Thanks everyone for your continued support, another batch of hard to choose from models, great. Bare with me as I have been having problems copying the pics for the gallery. I think I may have sorted it so, hopefully, that will be up and running later. Once I have got that sorted I will start the voting thread.
