                        Well I have completed the base assembly on the lower hull on the M-26 so next step is the upper hull and turret and then it's on to a nice black pre-shade.
                        When there's something worth showing I'll post a progress pic.

                        Here is my finished Korean War Build MiG-15 in the markings of Russian pilot Capt K. I. Syomy . This model has survived a crash (although the gun sight is MIA) and my cat chewing the decals before I put them on. Thanks modelingmonkey for putting this together

                        I guess we don't actually have a badge for this build. I don't know, since it's been removed from the Armor forum, probably some of the members have forgotten that they're in this...

                        Uh, we've had a badge since, about March. It's in my signature; it's the bluish one you can't read very well. It didn't scale down very well.

                        I took 30 seconds to do a little tinkering

                        I might....MIGHT (place emphasis there) join this GB. I have a Mig-15 That I want to mark for the NK AF but another group build demands that I Do it for the Soviet AF. I am torn. So, if I can find a way to get out of the Soviet GB with another Kit, I will make it North Korean.

                        (Join)That's okay,(join) no pressure. Also, I like(you will join now) that badge; it's a lot better than the one I made. Will you give me the URL code? I am having problems saving photos on my computer as .jpg; and remember,(join) no pressure to join.

                        http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/ComradeSergei/KoreanWarGB.jpg

                        Thats the url, and you may want to shrink the badge a little (Or I can do it, just ask)
                        The plan right now is to cut the red stars out of the NK AF decals, put them on, take some pics of it, then put the rest of the north korean decals on. May be a bit tricky, but If we can pull the old switcharoo on em, I'll be in!


                        Progress on the Mig so far. This is my first attempt at airbrushing, and even though i forgot to sand the seams down (idiot!Banged Head [banghead]Ashamed [*^_^*]) and the kit has no cockpit (is my first attempt at scratchbuilding in the works?) and I painted a little unevenly, It looks much better than my old mig (which is dark grey) or my handpainted cammo.
                        Prepare to vomit:

                        I think it looks pretty good. This Bulldog will be my first attempt at airbrushing. I'm afraid, very, very afraid.

                        Hey! Hey! I'd like to get in on this GB if that's OK. I have the Monogram ProModeler 1/48 F4U-5N along with CAM decals for VMF(N)-513. How's that sound?

                        Pretty nice looking badge design. Man, I won't get to start my entry for this for a while.

                        That was my first attempt. Just take it slow, and remember to have plenty of bounty's handy. things can get pretty messy, and you may want to cleam something off in a hurry. Other than that, dont spray too much at one time, and dont change how much you spray in mid-spray. Wahtever you do, you can be sure that it will probably come out better than handbrushing.
