1/72 O' Mania!!!

I thought that was where I was posting it. Will do!

i hate doing decals. you might want to shift this to the 2014 BRAILLE SCALE GB on going (and hosted by moi).

I finally had some time to start the decals on the F-18.

taxtp

I'd love another 1/72 o'mania in 2014. I've got a lot of plans this year that don't quite fit other GBs.

Are there any plans ? This one has been great.

Cheers

Tony

For sure! I will get a fresh thread started soon. For those of you that are not finished just transfer over to the new GB.

eatthis, nice looking F-20, you certainly have a thing for those Atlantis builds.

Theuns, looking forward to the MiG, I am still waiting out on the Eduard release.

Tony, I haven't seen our host around for a while. I would certainly be up for another one of these later in the year, hopefully he will be back at some point.

Thanks Tony.  I had forgotten how much fun 72nd scale can be

during the 80s atlantia realized they would benefit from a small well rounded fighter aircraft. they evaluated both the f16 and the mig 29 and found both good but slightly limited.

then they were approached by northrop with their recently binned f20 tigershark and decided to buy the plans/design wholesale.

then they set about improving it making it a delta increased range and weaponload considerably. coupled with an atlantian engine compact yet powerfull (~24,000 lb thrust in reheat) made this light fighter an excellent performer.

id forgotten id entered this and iv been working on the f20 lol

Great work on the 'Torch' aircraft John. They'll look great together on the shelf.

Cheers

Tony

Please put me down for a MiG 15 and a Typhoon, both are new tool Airfix kits.

Pix of the MiG sofar.(crossover from the NMF GB OK?)

here is another one, zhengdfou T-72M. actually turned out better than i thought. it was built for the 48 hour GB so a tad rough in spots but my best pin wash to date. some lower hull dusting with pastels,

Thanks.  Both are great kits.  Have 3 of the Wildcats.  John

Thats a nice pair!

OK Done.  Nice when you don't have to work all day.

I've been absent for awhile.  This past weekend the decals were put on the Dauntless and Wildcat. Hope to be done this weekend.  John

That's a great looking plane, Eagle.  Love the colors.  Never knew the Russian air force was so aesthetic!  Nice job on the weathering, too.

68GT:  that's a very sharp looking craft.  The striping and paint work are outstanding.

I haven't looked in recently, since I was finishing a ship for the Pearl Harbor GB.  I see I've missed a lot.

Thanks checkmate!  Took me long enough to get the decals.  Had to wait for a good deal.  Couldn't see spending a lot on 1/72 decals!

My kingfisher is done, not finished. just done. I need to find a new 1/72 kit. I have another kit pretty interesting I will be starting soon.

Good to have you back TCE!  Well, I FINALLY got some decals for the IL-10!  I know, took me long enough!  Her she is!

Good to see you back posting!

Everyone has some great looking builds I see! I have been monitoring this thread through e-mail. I'm making my return to posting regularly this winter after school calms down a bit. Also I have been a bit caught up in dirt bikes here lately. I just started on another diorama :O I still need to finish my F-8 for the Vietnam Air War GB. Updates will be up soon... maybe :)

Yea, two.

One Revell and one Academy.  So far the Academy is winning hands down.

2 A-10's..........or 1 A-20?  LOL

Theuns

By the way, here is the progress of the two A10s.

Forgot to post the pictures of the completed product.

Ed, that X-29 looks terrific. I want one.

Cheers

Tony

Damn that is one sleek lookning aerie that X29, very well done!

Just as a matter of interest to folks who like 1/72 P/F-51 Mustprangs, I am busy with one in the Latin American GB and it is truly one of the best Airfix kits in this scale to date, highly recomended.

Theuns

Got some clear on and the ejection seat is in its place.  I'll have the glass glued in place tomorrow hopefully.
