Eye In The Sky GB - January 2010 - October 2010

how do i get/use the badge?

anybody?

Eatthis go to the front page and download the badge to your computer, then upload it to photobucket like you do your WIP pictures. Then you go to your profile here on the forums click on Edit Profile and add the IMG code to your signature just like you are posting a picture and thats all there is to it. It will show up at the bottom of your posts.

Eatthis, I apologize for my absence.  Haven't been doing much modeling with supplies on order, football season starting, kids starting school, and all that.  Vetteman is correct on getting the badge.  I will add your build to the front page when I can.

I was making some good progress and have the fuselage where I want it for paint.  I'm going to try this conversion chart and maybe get some FS colors that are the same as the RAL in the NORM 72 German scheme.

Only real problem I have now is that I don't have a dedicated work space and my sons 7th birthday party is this weekend so I have to pack everything away and start pulling it back out on Sunday.  I keep telling myself I have to set something up but maybe this is the last straw.

*Ok, the batteries in the camera are dead so maybe thats the last straw.

I apologise at this late stage but I must withdraw due to lack if finances to finish of the kit/diorama as I wish to (post christmas at earliest). While I could build the kit itself in time (only being 144 scale and not highly detailed)I'd prefer to keep it for the diorama I'm part through.

Greetings all...

I hope it isnt too late to enter a build of mine- a 1/48 scale Mirage 3 R2Z?

I built it using the Italeri Mirage 3 E kit, with various aftermarket stuff and a tiny bit of scratch building

The South African Air Force was one of the largest Mirage 3 operators.. having the following on strength- BZ, CZ, DZ, D2Z, RZ and R2Z.

We had 4 Mirage 3 R2Zs.. one was lost on operations in the Border war (I believe), one lost during training or flight operations, one was converted into the mythical Cheetah R, and the last one 857 was retired to the museum here at Air Force Base Ysterplaat. She was also said to be the fastest Mirage 3 in the fleet.

If I am out of bounds with the entry, I will happily withdraw...

The Mirage looks beautiful!!! Well done!

Just curious... do you know if the Italeri kit is a reboxing of the old ESCI kit?

Hey guys,

Just got home from deployment, so sometime in the next few days I should get the last touches finished on the Vigi.

Eatthis- I love "what if" projects, and yours is awesome!

thanks alot mate it was my 3rd ever model :)

front page needs updating btw

Ok gang, here it (finally) is!

So this guy was a big learning experience for me, not so much the kit's fault as my own. Perhaps one of the biggest frustrations I had was everytime I finished something on it, something else would break/get lost/painted by accident, etc.  Overall, though, it was a lot of fun, and (if you do't look too closely) I think it came through it all right. Great GB, too. I have enjoyed everyone else's work as well.

iv always liked them and yours looks great fella :)

im building a what if tsr 2 in the no aftermarket gb and looks alarmingly like a vigilante lol

You've done your Vigilante justice!
