jeaton01 I am glad to say that apparently Martin (Bish) is OK, just had to take a break from modeling for awhile. A person on another forum has had some contact with him. That's the way to hang in there with the MB 339, Shane!

That's great news John! I'm used to not getting great news in these situations and this is a welcome change!
On the Bench: Too Much
That's a nice recovery, Shane! Nice one.
John, that's good to know. I can understand, since Bish was running so many group builds and trying to keep up with everything. It's easy to get burned out with the hobby, especially when life comes up with more important stuff. Maybe we'll see him again in the future.

Finally finished my MB 339 A.
I dropped it first, lost the tail piece and it took 11 months to find it.
Anyhow, here's some photos.
your shipmate,
Ziggy
Anyone heard from Bish, it's been quite awhile now?

On the bench:
A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!
2024 Kits on deck / in process / completed
14 / 5 / 2
jeaton01 Calling this one done. XL189, the ship that gave the Black Buck One Vulcan it's final load of fuel before the attack on Port Stanley, giving the Vulcan enough fuel but leaving itself 3 hours short of range to get back to Ascencion Island. Luckily, it was met by another Victor before the crew got wet. Bob Tuxford was the pilot on XL189 on that mission.

jeaton01 All the camouflage colors are done on the Victor. I think I spent two hours removing the masking. It is very time consuming to put this sort of scheme on this large of a model. Better than doing nmf on the Monogram B-36, though.

Keep going boys. We want to see those completed builds.
Shane, no reason to stop. I have the Victor all masked off for the medium sea grey, but I had to order some more paint which should be here today or tomorrow.
That's a lot of paint for a lot of aircraft model
This is how far I got by the June 30 end date
Nice progress, Shane.
Mostly filling and sanding and rescribing here, but I did get up to putting a coat of Model Master flat white on the bottom. Used up an entire bottle.
Thanks BK!
Still trying to finish...
I added some weight to the nose before I joined the fuselage halves
Starting to look like a jet plane
Sigep Ziggy I finished the MK10 seats and deepened the holes in these guns

and deepened the holes in these guns
Working on the fuselage halves, added some styrene bits and paint to the cockpit area and I took a cap from a scribbing tool and modified it to make an exhaust nozzle.
I'm bring up the rear, I may have to post a primered airplane by the deadline
Looks like we are the rear guard, SEZ!
I have made a lot of progress on the Victor K.2, the major assembly is complete.
I'm cutting it close, I just might pull it off
Anyhow, I am working on the wings
Both photos have OOB on top and adjustment on bottom
Fixing air inlets and sharpen rear edge of the wing
I'm motoring along on my Victor K.2, here's some pictures. I did have to fuss a bit with the wing fit, but really it's pretty good, just tight in a few strategic places noted in one of the pictures. I did trim the bottom of the wing spars some but I don't think it was needed, but then it doesn't hurt anything either.
Some Tamiya putty was used on the tanks, refueling pods, and shock bodies but it was minor.
If you wish to pose the SR2 version with an open bomb bay then you will have to deal with these ejection pin marks but it only took a little scraping and sanding on mine. However, it wasn't necessary for the K.2 as there is no option for an open bomb bay on it.
Every time I added an interior assembly I did a test fit. No serious work was needed for a good tight fuselage seam.
Well done, Robert. Very clean build.
Thank you!
Robert
"I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try, I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by"
Wow, Robert, that looks amazing. Well done.
It's been cut rather finely, but I literally dusted off the Hercules and got it in the photo booth:
Thanks for the fun GB Bish! It was a trying experience at times, but it gave me an opportunity to build a subject I otherwise never would have built.
The flight deck and nose wheel bay are together, and the very well detailed landing gear has been assembled, Brassin resin wheels will be used on them. At present I am working on the engine inlets but there are no photos yet because at the moment they are not too pretty..
That is all,
Brandon goes in the corner for a bad pun, "wip it out"!
I have every intention of having it done by the terminal date, but we will see if intentions equal actualizations!
That's a pretty interesting aircraft. Looking forward to seeing you wip it out.
