Scorpio.. looking good.. interested to see where its going...

Gamera.. sorry,, no progress in a while.. been trying to finish a Kingfisher for a friend.. but I'm putting in an effort this week , I'm trying to make it to Granite Con in Nashua.. I'm hoping to have both finished by Saturday...

P38: Looks like I missed your post, she's looking good! More photos please, you've made some progress since then haven't you?

Scorpy: Ack, sorry I thought orca too!!! Then again she does look sorta pudgy and panda-like once you point it out. I'm sure if you put the name 'Bamboo Bandit' on her side people will get the idea.

Bamboo Bandit ??? Hummmmmm I like it Mikey

haha, it could still stay as a panda. Its just that "orca" was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw it.

Its meant to be a panda lol. Oh well, i guess i can change it up to be an orca. Any suggestions for a name change? (Shes currently bamboo bandit)

Needs some major touchup work, but overall im happy with the design.

its an orca!!

Shes comin along.

Feedback?

well.. a small update on my F-15,, body work done... primed. and then a coat of black on where the black is going to go..[View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0]

here is the belly.. it looks blueish inthe pic.. but it is black..[View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0]

I'm pretty sure the first hornet is a aggressor, but the second one is the "retro" paint scheme in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of naval air power.

Great photos Owl- thanks for posting them.

The first two F/A-18 photos look like some sort of 'aggressor' scheme maybe?

I took these pictures at a local airshow a few weeks ago. There was a pair of interesting F-18s there!

as well as some "Yellow Wings"

and a little Mustang "wanna-be"

I actually me the Navy Captain that was responsible (in part) for getting those retro paint jobs applied on some of the older planes, at the IPMS National convention this year. He was in interesting guy! We had a fun conversation.

Thanks Gamera & P-38jl, this may be my best model yet, second to my P-39Q.

RRB: Very cool! Yes, I'd call that 'wild' for certain!

Thanks! it took me a long time to complete this model.

i like the paint job as well, its one of my favourite paint jobs.

Baron well done man And in 1/72 no less !!!! The figures are great and love the paint job. No way I could build that well in 1/72  

Ive finished the Hannover, i hope its wild enough for you!

Here is the current stage im up too with my Hannover!

Here are the parts too assemble the landing gear:

I hate painting the wheels...

well ive been distracted by my P-39 in the Odd Animals GB. So i havent been able to make much progress with my Hannover CL.IIIa.

So heres some pics, it should be finished quite soon.

I Hope you like it! As always comments are appreciated.

Awesome Stu! She makes my eyes hurt to look at her which I suppose is the point of stealth.

Beautiful job!

very cool!

Looks good !!! Discostu.. ! very swweeet.. my F15 will have a similiar scheme..

Awesome markings!  Great Build.  I have been involved in so many projects that I have been neglecting my poor F102.  I'll get some done by next weekend though.

Finally!  I managed  to get off my duff and finish off the last step of the Stealth.  Here are some pics.  I used a mix of kit decals as well as select ones from Two Bobs "Kosovo Bandits" sheet.  I went with an open bomb bay so I had to take some pics before the doors were glued in place so as not to miss out on thee great artwork on the belly.

Looks good, i think your ok because the decals are out of a different box

Sounds good to me

Thanks folks, this was fun, looking forward to seeing some of the other models come together.

Well, now I need to get my Shark done for Lady Owl's Odd Animal GB and get some work going on my Hollywood GB... gee I need to sign up for less stuff

At least none of them are yellow- remind me not to do anymore models with large amounts of yellow on them- it's worse than white to get good coverage.......
