1/72 O' Mania!!!

It would be cool to see a 50 being built.  Build away!

The GB runs until the middle of March and there is no closing date for joining, so jump on in.

Is this still an open group build?

SA's V2 kit is pretty nice. The fit is pretty decent and the instructions spell out changes needed for the prototype rockets. I never got the Condor kit, so I won't offer any comparisons.

I think the plastic parts for the transporter will be too flimsy. I'm in process of replacing with soldered brass parts. The plastic cradle parts don't fit the rocket well and are incorrectly shaped as well. These will be modified.

I was looking over the available V-2 stuff over the weekend. How was the V-2 to build, your looks really nice. I think I originally had the Condor kit, but was thinking of going for the SA one this time, the camo option.

Do you think the plastic is to flimsy to support the rocket. that's a big job you have taken on.

Thanks for the advise, Bish.

Actually, I've just finished Special Armour's V2 Prototype kit and need something on which to display it.

I'm replacing much of the plastic with brass rod.

That's a really nice looking build.

Its a shame this concept never took off.

It wasn't that bad.  The blue and two white stripes are connected by clear film.  So the hard thing was making them straight and lining them up.  Where the stripes meet at the leading edge of the wings is a little screw.  I used Micro-Sol and the decals laid down nicely.

Nice, 68!  Very stripey and colorful.

looks great. was it very tedious doing the decals?

I got some decaling done.

johnsan, the host hasn't been around for a couple of months. Your build fits within the GB, so I would go ahead and do it.

I am looking forward to seeing this one. many years ago I started a dio for a V-2 with all the ground vehicles, well that was the plan. I got a resin halftrack launch vehicle and built most of the V-2, but it never went any further. With SH's new release's I have been thinking about giving it another go. Are you planning on adding the V-2 to the transporter,

Hi. I'm a longtime 72nd guy, but new to this community.

I'd like to enter this GB with Special Armour's Vidalwagen "Road V-2 Transporter".

Same plan as before.  I have a friend that plays around with resin and is going to make a few copies of the bomb/torpedo racks for me.

Got to love those multi coloured Matchbox kits. What's the plan for that one now you have the Italeri kit on the way.

It was a good weekend or at least part of one.

I was also able to close up the He111 fuselage and attach the wings.

Nice progress there 68.

I got as far as painting the X-29 and might be starting the decals tonight.

I also started and academy and a Revell A-10.  Both are molded in somewhat soft plastic but the Revell kit has a lit of flash.  So far I like the Academy kit better.

 I plan on one in the Euro I scheme and one in gray but don't know which yet.

Looking good, 68.

And more.

I also started an old Matchbox He111

Some more done.

Great NMF finish, Theuns!

Great looking plane.  The finish excells!

Who put the wings on the wrong way on that X-29 LOL!

Not sure it I entered this F-86 in this GB, but here it is anyway.

Academy 1/72 F-86E Sabre, paints alclad, out of box ,kit decals but slightly out of register :-

I got another Acadeny F-86 E to do in SAAF camo scheeme :-)

Thought I chimed in but I guess I didn't.  I have a Hasegawa X-29 that I've just started.

Yea, that is about it LOL!

I have started on a 1/72 Academy F-86E Sabre and sofar with most of the building and sanding done it is going way better than with the Can !

Theuns

Lovely looking build Theuns. I know what you mean about builds like that, you just want wait to clear them off the bench.

Very nice work, Theuns! I love the look of that blue!

That's an outstanding plane, Theuns.  Nice work on the color and panel lines.
