Excellent looking builds fellas, see you all in NMF II!
To tell you the truth Stik, as long as there is some differential in the overall look of the model if I was a judge and not monochromatic, it would surely score points with me!!! You have done that very well!!!!
1005, a good number...
I am done painting the NMF. I used three different shades of Aluminum. Humbrol overall first, a nice weathered dull dark shade, then I masked off and used Tamiya, a much brighter shade on the center of the wings, stabilizers, tail, and some select panes on the front and rear fuselage. Then I used Testors small bottle, a shade in between the two, on the elevators, ailerons, drop tank pylons, rudder, and two panels on the nose. The effect I was trying for was like the old Chromed Hawk kits I used to build. The effect did not photograph well, but is quite visible in person.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Today I added a second shade of aluminum on my Thunderjet on selected panels. I masked off more panels to do a third shade for tomorrow. I will roll my F-84 over to the NMF Pt II Group Build since this one is over and I am still chugging along. I will post pics tomorrow or Sunday at the latest.

This was a great GB.
Back to back mustangs is fine, but I wouldn't recommend doing 9 at the same time.

I'm back to back Mustangs in the last 7 weeks with another 2 planned....All because i looked at page 1...
What better way to finish this GB than with 1000 replies
Randy, i am glad you got me to participate. Building shiny planes is amongst the things in modeling i like to do most and each and every time i visit the LHS there's always attention for anything that would be eligible for "the group".

I lost count, what is this one, 8 to go....
Randy, I said it before and i'll say it again...Even though i came in at the end i had a blast...Cheers Jules
Hi Randy,
I was hoping carry-overs to round 2 would be okay -- my F-84 is back at the top of the stack again after I got two armour builds done with. I have a few planes to give some TLC in the weeks ahead, and that should be one of them.
For NMF II I have a ProMod F-86D, and I'm thinking about a C-97 cargo plane in 1:144.
Cheers, M/TB379

I am proud of each and everyone of them as I hope you are. This group has been a blast to host because of all of you and my hat goes off to each and everyone here.

BUMP 15!!!!
I have that concern myself. I don't want to add to much weight to avoid adding extra stress. As all my build are for dios and i always glue the plane to stop them moving around on the board, i don't know why i even bother trying. Old habits i guess.
Its been a really great GB, some awsome work from you guys, and as always a pleasure to learn from.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Bish And yes, it is a tail sitter. I usually glue my planes down when i put them on the dio, so that won't be a problem. Thanks again, and a great GB.

Bish,
Sometimes I wonder if that is not a better solution to the 'tail sitting' problem. Adding weights in the nose just adds stress to a all ready delicate front landing wheel. Anyhow your Mig turned out great and a nice finish to vetteman42s successful group build!
Bish - nice job on the MiG. Fair winds and following seas on your trip to the Falklands. Cheers.
Signing off from here, catch you all in NMF II
Bish what has been said already!!! Looks great!!!
Thanks guys, much appreciated. Afraid i will have to pass on round two as i am off to the falklands later today and won't be back to modelling until Sept. I now have 7 Dio's to catch up on so that will be my priority. But i will deffinatly be doing some more NMF next year and will watch round two while i am away.
