Nothing very involved at all, right?
Looks good, following this one on the "other" site as well.
I'm kind of in the same boat, finishing this up:
and then I'm into the M60A1 for this GB, I hope.....
Apprentice rivet counter.

Don't you guys always have a 'ball season? Football, baseball, basketball, add in the preseason games. LOL. Just start now you know you want to
Vance you have bean added to the list when you know the scale and type of aircraft let me know so I can add it to the list as well. An guys I love the work on the two aircraft.
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister
Update. Cockpit and weights are in the closed fuselage. Wings assembled. Had to wash the plastic twice, barely holds the paint. You guys look to be doing some fine work. Chris

Man that's some grate work your doing to that Jet. Ok guys for the last two weeks, I have bean working on making some line drawings to aid in my construction. I just want you guys to know I'm still in on this build. SO here's a photo of my drawing. I hope this weekend I can start putting plastic together.
Not alot more done so far but here is what I have done
Cockpit test fisted after applying needed parts to upper fuselage.
Wheel well test fitted into place before final painting of area.

WoW guys that some awesome detail on those aircraft interior and to RBaer you have been busy as well, love those two tanks man. I to plan on building one more Mk. IIID tank. Once I get the top of my WWII Panzerwerfer 42's upper hull built I'm going to start on some work for my Mk. IV APC.
You guys have been busy! Must have something to do with not having to build so many wheels........
I did get pics of my "raw materials"......
Sacrificial goats:
And sprues ( mixed bag here, it's a spare parts build)
And basic hull, started a couple of weeks ago, from yet more leftovers:
Still a couple of weeks before I get a real start on this one.
I don't remember which issue, but there is a GREAT build of this aircraft with GREAT pics in a semi recent issue of FSM. The interior is very well detailed on the build.
Id o plan to join this GB, but I gotta get a kit first and $$ is WAY too tight right now.
Okay, got the cockpit of my OV-1D almost done. Just need belts and a little weathering to finish. I can't find a pic showing how the belts look. I've also partially completed the wings and tail surfaces. Long way to go.
OK Bit more done. Have actually finished a little more than it shows here as I have the instrument panels in as well. Ready to move on to step two.
More to come
Hi Bondo -- thanks for the tip, I might just use that mix! (Sweet 1:72, BTW -- that's a real nice finish!) My references say either RLM-02, which really looks nothing like this, or the mysterious RLM-68, which is "similar" but a bit greener... Humbrol 90 Beige-Green was suggested, but I know that shade and it's nothing like an Israeli camo colour! I was thinking 02 mixed with a spot of green (20%?) might be acceptable, but I'd really like some more info on RLM-68. There was an FS equivalent that I can compare it to, but if research remains confounding I think the mix you've suggested is very visually pleasing and I'll go with that. The paints would be XF-12 and XF-52???
Cheers, Mike/TB379
PS: I pulled out the 1:48 S-199 yesterday, she looks good!

Thunderbolt379 ...my only experiences with Hobbycraft have not been very memorable, but theirs is the only Knife I'm aware of.

What's your plan for the green color? That's always a good debate.
(Tamiya) IJN Aircraft Grey and RAF Buff mixed 75/25, looked good to me.
Hay "Andrew" I'm going to go on and get one of the jets from the site I posed as I would have to set up a paypal account and I dont want to do that just for one aircraft. I realy want to do an F/A-18 but will se what I can come up with apart for this GB.
SInce this is running so long, I'll be doing an F-16I "Sufa" as well using the 1/48 Kenetic F-16DJ and the conversion set. I'm sure this will take me to the end date of the group build but it's just an awesome looking plan, I got to try it. Now, it May 1 would hurry the heck up and get here!!!
KW13 -- this Sufa is going to be a visual feast to watch go together!
Well, my Avia S-199 decals came in today, so I'm going to consider the Hobbycraft kit with Aeromaster markings to be a companion project to the Hasegawa Mustang in (kit) IDF markings, old adversaries now on the same team for their 1948 encounters with destiny. It'll be interesting to see how they compare, my only experiences with Hobbycraft have not been very memorable, but theirs is the only Knife I'm aware of.
Well got a start done this morning, not much of a one but a start none the less. Two panels ground down and replacements added and two cockpit walls in. Nice not having to do lots intricate painting.
White, I got mine here
http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=KI-K48006
A little cheaper but I dont know how postage adds up for you. I'll admit I only got it cause I wanted a F-16 with CFT's and the chance for a great weapons load out (plus many spares) is bonus.
If you're going until December 2011, I'm in with my 1/48 Hobby Boss Mirage IIICJ
That Kinetic model has hit me and I just have to have one so I did some looking and found these.

Hay now that's a magnificent looking kit you have there. I to left my sprue trees bagged, I'm not working on this project till after the first. As I still have some items to buy.
OK heres the pics, I didnt do indicidual sprue pics, so I could leave them still bagged for now, but I will include a link to a review that does have them if you are interested. Also forgot to mention I will be using the pre-coloured cockpit PE set sold by Kinetic but made by Eduard.
The Box
Decals and Manuals
Kit Sprues all bagged up
Kit PE, Mesh for conformal fuel tank access points and nose pitot tube (sorry for crap shot new camera)
Cockpit PE
http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/kin/kit_kin_48006.shtml the link for the review with individual sprue shots if you are interested
Thanks guys for the scales and the list has bean updated. An for my project I'm going to start with the New Namera Mk IV HAPC-Heavy Armored Personnel Carrier.
Post updated. The 1/48 VO-1D
Sorry white, thats 1/48. The Missus has a break from Uni for the next couple of weeks plus I got a new camera yesturday so I will post some box and sprue pics later today, and hope I her a start in the next few days. Just have to use the beastie :)
RBaer I see your a squadron putty nut as I am. An Andrew you and Kg4 have bean added to the list, but it would be good to know what scales your projects will be.
Count me in please. Have a Roden 1/48 OV-1D Mohawk I'd like to build using the kit markings for OV-1D, 4X-JRB, Israeli AF, 1975.
Sweet, Andrew. This one is running long enough, a delayed start shouldn't put you out of the norm......
Pics of the M60 hull I have started, this will the be basis for the Magach 6 I'm in with also.
