Airfix Group Build 2011-2012

I should be spraying the Concorde this weekend. I haven't got round to it yet as I just started my A-Level's, so things have been a bit hectic recently. But now I've got the paint in and the all decals, so I'm all ready to go .

11 more days people. Good luck.

noooooo randy why? cant use cell phone camera?

well, can't show off the final product. camera took a crap. 

Cheers for that Steve, Im glad me and the guys made your first GB enjoyable.

Wow this group build is winding down?!

I have to admit I have enjoyed the work, craftsmanship and great amounts of how to ( or not to) information. That I have gleened from this epic.

This is  my first group build and though I went on after my inital build, to other self imposed projects, I was always looking in to see "whats up".

Mikey, congratulations on carring on and keeping the progress moving forward.

Out-standing job. Here's one for you  Cheers 

It is confusing, Mikey.  I went through this with the Spitfire GB.  The underwings look kind of blank and plain and bland without them.  

Usually, I just go by what the Osprey books say; or check for pics and profiles on the web; and if that doesn't work, I just follow the kit directions.

Oh wow thats confusing, bloody british lol. Ignore my remark then grif.

Underwing roundels can be a confusing topic.  It seems they were used prior to Dunkirk, into June 1940 when the undersides were black (Night) and white; then when the change was made to Sky undersurfaces, they were left off, late June and July, 1940.  Then they made a comeback in late August 1940.

Griff:  I think you are "safe" with what you did.  And it's a very sharp looking build.  Looks like the new mold Airfix Spitfire.

Is the rondel the big circle?

I put the decals just as shown and I used all of them.

No roundels under the wings?

Decals!

I plan to do finish assembly, do another coat of Future, weather and then dull-coat. Should be done soon.

Not a worry Dave. you have 21 days

Another tail end charlie, reporting in.....I'd still like to finish that Airfix Stuka in 1/48th scale by the end of the month.......Is that good???

lmao, hey the D models are always the best lol.

Its looks good G-J

Wait! they have a group build for jug.....OH ; I get it, Those kind thought for a moment of...

That's to be a P-47D, and the post belonged in the Jugs GB.  I think this thread was right above the Jugs thread.

Sweet, good to see you back alex. Im happy to give till midnight 30 September (your local time) so youve all got a few weeks to get things tidied up.

WOW, there have been some really astonishing build's to come out of this group since I, err, took my hiatus... Anyway's, you said the straggler's had till the end of the month, Scorpio? I'll order some white gloss tomorrow in that case, can't be to hard to dust of the old Concorde and get her sprayed up

lol no worries G-J. What are you building?

Ooops....wrong thread...please dismiss....

I now return you to your regular discussion.

I figured I would get a picture of the sub-assemblies.  It's taken a while, I'm still waiting for some paints to come in for the cockpit.

This is the first model in 30 years.

The puma turned great Theuns 

Not a problem grif. There are alot of people who i havent seen in here since they signed up lol.

I "Futured" mine today. Decals and weathering to follow, then dull-coat and she's done.

Crap - I just realized that the deadline is at the start of September - I'd been going on the assumption that it was an end-of-September deadline. I'm so sorry guys. Chalk it up to dumb-rookie mistake. 

I'll be done by the end of September. I'm so sorry, I don't want to be the weak link.

oh thank you! haven't done any work in the past few days, been to busy with school and things around the house.

Nice work guys.

Well, thats all she wrote. Ill give the last few stragglers till the end of the month to finish up.

Great-looking Stuka and Puma.  Well-done!
