Daddy1, Incredible work on the gear bays. That's enough to make old Mr. Otaki turn over in his grave. Rick.
daddy1I've got the wheel bays done , wing halves glued together . Just need to rescribe a few panel lines and bring the wings and fuselage together. Howard
Fantastic work on the wheel bays. You have put more work into the 2 bays than most people do for an entire kit. I am very anxious to see the finished model.

The B-52 and me, we have grown old, gray and overweight together.
Looking good howard. Youve put alot of work into those wheel wells. My fingers are far too fat to do detail that fine.
Satch, sorry buddy, while thats a fantastic looking cat, im gonna have to say no at this stage, mainly because the kits already complete at the time of entry. If you wanted to do another one id be more than happy to put you down though

In the mean time , a couple pics of the completed wheel bays.

Nice night 'Cat you've got there ,Satch.
Making progress building new wheel bays on my Arii kit. Found the instructions for the Eduard PE undercarriage set on their site. Very helpful in figuring out where everything goes . Mostly a tedious matter of cutting tiny bits of plastic to size and gluing in the proper place. Gradually building up the new bays.
I've also clipped of the molded on gun barrels. Will replace them later during final assembly with short lengths of brass tube.
I'd like to throw my Hellcat into the Alley, please.

Yay, were getting some progress. Hopefully the new end date wil encourage a few more people.
Well now that the Osprey is done i'll be getting on with the Tomcat. Pics to some soon.
Building- (All 1/48) F-14A Tomcat, F-16C Blk 30, He 129
Cant wait to see more. My cats are on the back burner at the moment.
I'm baaaack!
There used to be a time when I churn out builds at an almost assembly line pace, but with all the distractions in life going on , I'm having to focus more on on build at a time. Sooooooo.......
Now that I've got the Lightning finished, I can get back on track with this Grumman classic.
Here's a pic of where I'm at.
The Arii kit had decent enough wheel bay detail to build OOB , but it's totally inaccurate, and since I put so much work into the cockpit and engine. I decided to give the wheel bays a total remake.
I started by carefully scribing around the edges of the kit bays and cutting them out . Then, using images of an Eduard PE set as a pattern , resized and printed , I'll make new ribs, bulkheads and what not from sheet plastic , sprue, and other bits and pieces. Should be fun. I think my biggest hurdle will be mounting the struts in an accurate but strung way. Such is the world of scratch building.
On to the workbench,
No worries. let me know the details and ill sort it out.
Are crossovers allowed? If so I'll enter my Monogram F6F that I'm building for the Monogram Mafia. It' will be a triple entry as it's a F6F-3n conversion, so she will go to the Hunting After Dark GB also.
Satch
No worries, sorry for the late response, ive been up at the omaka airshow. OMG it was awesome. keep an eye out for a post with some of my photos in it and a full report of the day.
Scorpiomikey: Way back when, I thought that I might do a Bearcat as a follow up to my Tigercat. If it would be OK I'd like to proceed with the Bearcat as a part of this Group Build. I've had a lot of fun following all the builds going on. I think I can put something decent together. I've got an 1/48th Academy kit ready to go, I'm just not sure how I'll paint and mark it. Rick
post some photos when you get a chance. we seem to be lacking a bit of visual media in this thread lol.
Scorpiomikey and yet phineas and ferb is allowed to survive. Whats the world coming to?

And if I have to see another stupid cop drama. Well........
Got some work done on the Tomcat. Gotta order a gun vent from Steel Beach to make it the correct one. A little rescribing done as well.
Certainly my good man.
If i could get Kit and scale ill update the front page for you.
Are you still taking entries? I am building Monogram's Hellcat for Hans' Mafia plus I just got the Eduard Royal Class Hellcats. Super Squadron sale!
Scorpiomikey Ok. End date will be extended to end of September.

Scorpiomikey this will work out great for me, I have really been bogged down with GB's and health issues that I havent allowed me to get much done. I will get one of my builds done just not sure which one it will be yet.
Randy So many to build.......So little time
That's Fox for ya. Great shows get axed.
Sad for Firefly and all, but at least it got Serenity to tie up the story a bit.
What I really want? A third season of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Such a great show...and left on such a cliffhanger.

I have the box set and the movie. Another great series that got cancelled for no reason.
Scorpiomikey How do we feel about extending it to september 2011?

That'll be perfect!!! I'm doing this and the Osprey at the same time. Trying to get the Osprey done for a show at the end of April.
An extension of the ending time seems like a good idea. I have built two of the three 1/48 Panthers in my stash already and this would give me time to maybe get that third one done. I currently have a couple of other projects under way that need to be finished first.
Yep, the extension would be great. Keep getting sidetracked by new projects...and I'm guessing my bipe is going to take awhile...
Count me in for a new date ... I've just yesterday been able to start the 2 Cat's I plan for this GB ...
Thanks,
pepper
No complaints here.
