Had to go back a few to get caught up on the BoB, Great looking projects everyone.

Nomad, A really great finish to an unusual subject.

 Bob, The Spitfire is looking very good.

 Jmabx, An awsome finish on the 109, Very cool scheme.

 FastEagle, Looking forward to seeing progress on the Eduard kit. A nice selection of markings!

nomad68,

Excellent job and interesting Battle of Britain subject. I can't say I am familiar with the 'Aro Anson' Yet you chose this rare airplane over the heaps of Spitfires, Me-109's and other popular choices. I never followed the build WIP's and can only guess it was a limited run kit with a challenging fit every step of the way. Thanks for introducing the aircraft to everyone like me who didn't know about it.

FastEagle, Nice looking kit that 109 you have there, looking forward to some WIP pics....

Nice work on the Anson, Nomad!  The engines mad a huge difference in my opinion. Well done sir!

Fasteagle: Impressive, Eduard always seems to knock the ball out of the park.

Satch: I looked at a couple of websites and didn't see a Bf-109 in 1/48 so I don't think so.

Does Eduard make that in 1/48th also?

Nomad that Anson looks great it's certainly worth the effort you've been putting in.

Jeremy your 109 is a real beauty, congrats on a great looking model

Bob that Spit is really coming along nicely, I'll actually have to get off my backside and get mine into gear.

Fasteagle I'll be looking forward to seeing those progress pics of yours

Cheers

Cheers everyone,

I just wrapped up another build and am ready to join the party.  The work I've seen so far is simply brilliant - great work everyone.

I humbly submit my entry into the lot: Eduard's beautiful Bf-109E-1 in 1/32 scale.

The kit provided a brilliant set of decals and photo-etch bits:

Another view:   

I will "break sprue" this week while deciding which set of markings to use.  This is shaping up to be a good bit of fun.

More posts to follow.  

Nomad- the Anson is STUNNING!!! Perfect!

Bob- she looks good from here friend. I had some problems with my Spit too.

Nomad-very nice job on the Anson.  Very impressive.

Bob, she looks fine to me buddynice work, i can't see any silvering either but yeah you know it's there, i had the same issue with my Mk1....On my MKV i painted those lines on..

Nomad, I've really enjoyed watching you put this one together and it's come out great, well done Thanks for sharing.....

Nice work on the Anson, Nomad.  It looks great.

Hope mine turns out half as good!!

Nice work on the Anson, Nomad.  It looks great.

Everone all is done on the Aro Anson. The last Items are the worst sometimes. The turret made me want to give up I crushed the top of it trying to get the 1/32 pinstriping on but future to the rescue and it looks OK. I would like to thank everone who encouraged me along the way and I have learned alot from all of you. I have a fairey Fulmar to build and will post WIP pics. Wont be able to start it for a month or so. Hope you enjoy

Bob that spit is really coming along!!!!! Like Jeremy said I can't see any silvering!!! But, if YOU know it's there than I know it bothers you. I know you will disguise them well. Looking GREAT!!!!

Thanks for the tip Frank-I checked with the usual suspects for decals (Squadron, Great Models, etc.) and didn't find anything.  I'll have to check out the Xtradecal option.

...I don't know if it's worthy of the readers gallery though...

WHAT?!?!?!  Take it from us, this one is meant for the reader's gallery!  Spiffy build there my friend, love it!  That white nose really stands out, think I gotta do one like that myself.  HORRIDO!!!

Bob- You are really trucking with that Spit, awesome stuff!  I know what you mean about the Tamiya decals.  They are thick enough to wallpaper my shop with.  YIKES!  Next time, try the roundels by Xtradecal from the UK.  Great decals, and thin too.  Then again, every decal sheet is thin compared to Tamiya's LOL.

Thanks Jeremy.  The silvering is on the wing walk stripes.  More noticeable up close.  Same with the roundels-the blemishes can be 'hidden' by creative photography.  I knew that the Tamiya decals would be challenging, but having one on top of the other compounded the problem.  And I didn't add a layer of Future to the white background before adding the colored roundel.  That may have helped.

 I looked for aftermarket decals prior to the build, but couldn't find any.  Oh well, there's always next time.....

That's some huge lettering and roundels on the fuselage Bob! Almost finished and looking good. I don't see any silvering of the decals from my seat.

*EDIT*  Sorry for the double post.

Decals on.....worst Tamiya decals I've dealt with......thick and some are two part-white background then the decal overtop.  I really think that maybe the white background wasn't necessary.  Even with liberal doses of Solvaset & Future, I have silvering.  Oh well, next time I'll either try to find aftermarket decals or paint the white background.  Hopefully I can hide the imperfections with some weathering.

I agree with Sim, on all points......Outstanding work fellas

Jeremy- wonderful! Congrads!

I just picked up the Hasegawa Galland E-3 for $25 at my LHS.  That makes 5 Emils in my stash.

Thanks Richie... you're too kind.  I don't know if it's worthy of the readers gallery though.

Excellent work all way round guys!!!!!!! Loving the Annie, Spit and 109!!!!

Jeremy the only comment I have is, please send it in to the Reader's Gallery!!!

Ah, the Hase!  have a couple of their Es in the stash, I must give them a whirl. Yep, the Tamiya just falls together, the sort of kit that spoild you for others. I'm doing a Fujimi F-4 at the moment and while the detail is nice (if not consistently accurate) I must say it's the most filler I've used on anything in years...

Cheers, TB379

Thanks again fellas!

Thunderbolt - Thanks for the praise... glad you like it. The kit is Hasegawa's E-4/7 offering and it's not too shabby. I've built many late model Hasegawa 109s but I've never built the Tamiya 109 so I will have to get one to compare. I hear it's a nice kit.  

WHAT A BEAUTY! You've done a superb job, this plane looks ready to fly! Lovely airbrushwork, flawless decal application, rigged and carbon-stained -- sweet! This is Tamiya's E-3? I built one for the '08 edition and it was a joy, i look forward to doing another.

Cheers, TB379

...And once I figure out how to post pictures here , you'll be able to see what i'm talking about!

Sorry 'bout that..
