No, you didn't miss me, I just forgot to post it when I finished way back when.  I think I got distracted with other model projects and forgot to take any pictures of it.

Wow, did I miss you somewhere in there David???

Beautiful work! Love the weathered green wings and the red and yellow tail!

Updating the front page now.

I'm sorry, I see that I forgot to put up my final product.

Thanx friends, soon some more progress, just primed all inner parts in black, modified thr gun (too long for the scale) and scratched the missing gun support with brass beam

Len nice to hear you back in workbench business 

Works on judy:

Wings glued and sanded

Holed some intake and machine gun , also modified the engine fitting to allow gluing after the nose is closed

Added structures on the cockpit and removed original seats

Wow, I love those ammo drums- good idea!

Again on bench

last adds on the cockpit, seats , gun chargers maded from sprues and oxigen (?) cans, now left to scratch only the gun support

At the next for first paints

Yeah, nice work Bsyamato- love the cockpit ribbing you're putting in there.

Good work BSY. It's not an aircraft I know much about so I'm looking forward to this. Hope it goes a little more smoothly for you Len.

Cheers

Tony

Hey Len...

Thats my "hobby room" too, I set up an area in the garage, and told my wife that I have an attack spider guarding it! She freaks if she sees a spider, and if I don't keep an eye on it she will try to "straighten up" my area for me... (ahem...) we know where that leads. I have a small space heater for the colder days... Glad to hear your doing OK.  

Bsyamato: no problem will swap out the Tenzen for the Judy. And if you for some reason can't get the Judy done of course you're welcome to move her over to part 2.

I wish to built it in few time, then probably finish in two or three weeks ,the sign here and remove the tenzan, will put the tenzan for round two 

On the judy already glued wings parts, here the sprues and box

...

After posting the last picture just noticed that no decals for the IP is avaible.. at least an IP scratchbuild is needed 

Bsyamato: The post for part II is up for sign-ups- I think it's still on the front page of the GB forum here.

Looking forward to the Judy- did you want me to sign you up here or on part II?

Excellent george tony  really like it

Blitzwing

..I'm happy as a pig in mud.

LOL !! congratulation for the 1st place 

Cliff i think soon put on the first judy as a speed built, will built as gift for a friend then will not use so much plastic sheets adds 

What's news about the round two?

Congrats Blitzwing. You can only beat the models that are on the table, so no discredit there.

Cheers

Tony

Oh wow! Well, if the other guy doesn't show up it's still a win for you! 

Congrads!!! 

My first group build, and my Ki-84 gets first place at my local IPMS end of year competition. Surprisingly, it was the only 1/48 scale build there, so I was a bit sheepish about it but my name will be immoratlised on the trophy so I'm happy as a pig in mud.

Tony... You really packed alot into your 72nd scale George.  Very nice!

Dougt (RR)

Thanks Cliff.

Cheers

Tony

Tony: She looks great! Congrads! Nice work on the chipping without being over-done with it.

I'll get you posted ASAP!

Thanks for the encouragement. The 'George' is finished, and I've proven to myself what I can do in a week, albeit past midnight on every night

I tried to show some disrepair in the paintwork, without it yet being in a fully dilapidated state.

Hope you like it.

Cheers

Tony

Wow, that does look good Tony, looking forward to the finished photos!

Guys, I may just start the sign-ups for Part II tomorrow (Thur, Thanksgiving) since I've got to work and have plenty of time to fool around on the office computer. I'll get you down Tony and Doug- looking forward to the Nanzan and Hayate.

now wishing a shiden too!!! really clean and precise build 

Here is some more progress on my N1K1 Shiden 'George'. It's had it's wash, all the small bits are on except the uncarriage doors and prop and the gun barrels  are drilled out.

I'll put the doors on, a couple of minor touchups, and the nflat coat it tonight. Tomorrow will be some weathering, wireless aerial wire (!) and hope the canopy masking is OK.

Then it's done. For a speed build, I'm happy with it so far.

Cheers

Tony

Hey Cliff, If your doing signups soon, I have a Tamiya Ki 84 Hayate (Frank) to do to start with, the Senti will be anounced later, still trying to research a bit more. Don't really have a spider, but I caught one awhile ago and put it under a rattle can lid and left it on my table. I knew that she was messing around my hobby bench "straightening up" when I heard the blood curttling scream... She leaves my bench alone now,LOL.

taxtp

Thanks Carl.

Cliff, if you do this again next year, I already have a Tamiya 1/72 Nanzan planned. Count me  in.

I think this one will be done and dusted long before then :)

Cheers

Tony

Great! Hopefully I should have the sign-ups posted the weekend after Thanksgiving. I've had some problems with my ISP so I might be a little delayed but that's the plan anyhow. 

Thanks Carl.

FJS , thats a beaut !!!

Taxtp , looking like a great build !

Tony: Wow! I said you could roll your model over into the next GB if you didn't get finished by the end of the year but gee at this rate you'll be done by the end of the week! Really nice work!

Len: Hope things work out for you, been hearing news reports on people whose homes are in bad enough shape they're just destroying them and rebuilding since it's cheaper than restoring them... 

Doug: Keep your spider happy and she'll keep the bugs out of your hobby room! Used to be a big one here at work and I'd toss these stupid stink bugs in her web. She vanished sometime ago, think a bird ate her...
