Hi all!

@Patrik, Jesper and Jean-Luc

Thanks for your nice words, appreciate that!
I should have weathered It a bit more, but I didn´t have the courage (yet!).

@Peter

Love your Tank-buster Stuka!

I have that kit in the stash and now I got some inspiration to build the thing!

This was a great Campaign and there are so many great builds here, some are done and may more on the way!

Cheers!

Stefan E

Stefan and Peter: Both outstanding jobs!

Hi Stefan & Peter:

Congratulations. Very nice & fine builds both

Thanks, Jean-Luc. I appreciate it.

It is a cool campaign with a popular subject.

Just a quick update on my thunderbolt for the campaign hope to have some inprogress pics by the weekend. It is now painted and decaled just need to future it and do the weathering on it the its a case of just attaching all the other bits and pieces aswell.

Jesper, Jean-Luc, Stefan, David and Carlos,

Thanks for the kind words, they are appreciated.

Cheers

The cockpit of my P-39 is almost done now. I still have to touch up a few gloss spots of superglue left from gluing the instrument panel in place, but it's pretty much ready to be installed in the fuselage.

Hi all,

I have been watching closely and I must say what a great job all of you are doing. It is really inspiring seeing your planes come together. Though it gives me great distress that someone is doing a P-39 as well, and doing a better job than I did, with my backward control stick, misplaced seat belts and all

Well!! Stephan,I wish they(et al) did this subject in 1/32 scale as I would do two as ace and wingman duo!.My Hurricane IID is coming along OK.Spent most of the the day on the wings and cannon pods,little else. looks OK aftwer all! Everyone posting great stuff!!!!
cheers!

Great to hear people are coming along with their projects. I am started on my HS 129, but progress is slow as I am concentrating on my F-14 for the "Bye Bye, Baby" campaign.

@Eetu: great looking cockpit. I am sure your plane will be stunning!

Here is a picture of the unpainted cockpit of my HS 129. The seatbelts are a free add on form the Kagero book "HS 129 in action".

Peter, nice job on that Stuka.

I decided to post pics of mine too, so that they could fly in formation








There is a mission in "IL-2 Sturmovik" flight simulator where you have to steal one of those Stukas G-2 from german airfield and fly it back to russians for research. Its always a lot of fun to bust couple of Tigers on the way back Oh! And you should see what these beasts can do to a He-111 in a custom generated missions!!! One shot ito the engine block and the whole wing rips off!

Andy

Great model, Andy!! A very nice addition to the campaign. Soon we will have a whole Stuka schlact geschwader in this campaign.

Thanks for participating

There are some really stunning builds being shown recently!
The 2 Stukas are especially good!
5 weeks since I touched plastic now and the withdrawl symptoms are terrible.
Cant wait to get going again on my P47!

Hi Nigel:
It´s good to hear from you. When are you going to put your hands on the platic again ? Did you see how my P 47 looks ?
Regards.
Carlos

Wow, some really nice entries already ... and I have not even started yet ....

congrats to all who have finished their strafer or Panzerknacker!

@Jesper .. check your refs! the seat belts are attached behind the armour plate behind the seat and run through the holes indicated on the plastic part!

BTW here is one of my older models ...


cheers

The airframe of my P-39 is in one piece now. I've taken care of the fuselage seam and attached the gunsight.


The fit was very good, The only places that produced gaps was the wing-fuselage join in the front and the wing didn't meet the back wall of the nose wheel well. Some styrene sheet and putty should take care of them.
Another minor issue was with the left upper wing to fuselage joint, although this was my own mistake. For some reason, I glued the upper wing to the top of the wheel well, resulting in a slighly thinner profile, which didn't match the fuselage perfectly. A little sanding to the fuselage was done before attaching the wing, and some putty and sanding should fix this.

Hi Steffen:

How things are going? Don´t remember what are you going to build for this Campaign. I´m finishing my P 47D in 1/72 (Academy), I believe that tomorrow I´ll post here in the thread the final pics. Next week I´ll start with my second entry, this one in 1/48.

Regards.

Hi Carlos

It is Hasegawas Fw 190 F-1 "Tunesia" ... should not be too hard to finish, once it is started



cheers

Steffen

Here's an update of my Thunderbolt for the campaign I have just done some washes on it and hope to start attaching all the smaller pieces soon ready for weathering and matt varnishing.

Hi Samantha:
Nice looking P 47D. Is it 1/48 Tamiya ?

Yes it is the Tamiya one and its a dream to put together as its taken roughly three days to get it to the almost finished stage.

That´s one of the things why they´re fantastic kits. Nice job, keep on posting

Great to see there is a lot of progress going on with the builds in this campaign.

@Rhinosd: Great tank killer you have there. Is this your entry for this campaign?

@Steffen: thanks for the comment. I should not trust the instructions in the Kagero book. I will check the books again. I think I can break of the seatbelts and reposition them correctly.

@Samantha: Looks great! I love the nose art Looking forward to see more.

Business and life have kept my busy for some time now, so I am only making slow progress on my F-14 Tomcat. After that I will focus on the Hs-129
Keep sharing your progress pics and comments.

3 days Sam!!!
It takes me 3 days to paint a cockpit!
Looks great though!...Im very tempted to have a go at the Tamiya P47 in 1:48.
