thanks for the complements, guys! I like the paint scheme too! Makes me wonder what other planes deserve vintage camo.

F-18 painted like a hellcat.

F-16 painted like a mustang (NMF with bright tail and nose or OD and Grey)

F-15 painted like a thunderbolt.

EA-6B painted like a piper cub spotter.

Just a few ideas.

I think that F-16 has been done before, though not in NMF. An NMF f-16 would be awesome though. During an A-10 search , I found a pic of one of the prototypes (i think) that was left in its bare metal. A shiny a-10? Heck yes!!!

Owl: Cool, didn't know Hasegawa did a boxing of the 'George Preddy' blue-nose Virginia Air National Guard F-16. Being from Virginia myself I picked up a set of decals from Two Bobs to do that aircraft. Someday I'll have the time...

Ok, what I've gotten done so far on the RAF Bf109E:

Dark grey areas on the wing undersides are from where the French (who originally captured the aircraft) painted over the German crosses.

Wow, am I the only one left in this GB!?!

Anyway here she is.....

Fun build, great kit, great decals, everything went off by the numbers.

That came out awesome.  I'm still working on the F102.  I just have a couple of high priority builds to complete first.

Cool, thanks! Although I um violated the spirit of the GB- I didn't notice that you wanted 50% or less decals from the box

Still I'm happy to have her done!

that looks great gamera! 

looks great Gam !! very sweet !!

I'm still in... have begun my F-15.. just no pics yet..

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.......

aaahh,,, got on the bench yesterday... whew.. a hot n humid one to..

got the cockpit done, and closed.. pics soon..

[View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0]wow.. long time.. no build.. but  ,, here I is...

F-15,,, cockpit done...

Fuse together.. working on the seams...[View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0][View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0][View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0][View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0]

P-38: Looks like you've got a few killer seams there- still she's coming along nicely. Please keep us posted!

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.

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.

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

Beautiful job!

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.

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...

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

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  

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.

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

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

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.

Great photos Owl- thanks for posting them.

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