Headlights, tail lights, and vision block lenses painted. Drybrushing done. I just need to add some final stowage and antennas, and do the weathering.

Thank you sir. Well, it's done but my camera and computer are not talking to one another right now so I can not get the finished photos loaded at this time... oh this technology can be aggravating!!!

I completed the Testors/Italeri F-4G back in December or January but never posted shots.  Maybe we can get a part 3 going.

I have 6 listed in my signature and a few more I'm sure.  I have never moderated a build here but if nobody wants to step up to the plate I guess I could.  I just don't know how much time I would have come my daughters basketball season.

I haven't stopped by here in a while and missed some completed work!

Theuns - Sorry, 5 months late here but I've got to say great job on the Mil 24/35 and MIG 17!  Both are very nice and the MIG 17 has a very interesting color scheme and markings!  NICE! 

Stik - 3 months late catching your completed Pershing!  I also missed it in the Armor forum.  Man you really did a great job on this one!  The paint job, weathering, dust all blends in perfectly!  I love all the gear you added, it really livens up the look of the tank!  Great choice on the TC, he fits in perfectly and you also did a great job painting him! 

68GT - I'll say it again, great job on the F-4G!  Camo scheme looks great and I love the shark mouth!

Congratulations to all on finishing all of these, they are all beautiful! 

I'd say there's No More Excuses for doing a No More Excuses GB part 3!!  I've still got 4-5 shelf queens laying around!

Thank you sir. I actually added a little more to the TC figure a few weeks ago- some insignia on his uniform and wiring for his handmic and helmet headphones.

Yes I could jump in on a NME3 myself. Still have plenty of shelf queens just waiting to be finished.

Anybody thinking of moderating part 3?  If not I might be able to swing it come January.

VERY NICE 68!!! I had that kit before and it does build up very nicely, as can be seen by yours lol. I had a Hasegawa air-ground set that I replaced the two microwave oven bashers with.

Did we do a part three?  Something makes me think we did but I have more unfinished stuff to build.

I have so many partialy built kits that I can do a one man GB of these...  Oh yeah, I just had a look at the front page here and saw that I was signed up for a T26 Pershing, and RF-4C as well. I finished the T26 two summers ago... the RF-4C is still sidelined.

I thought this GB closed way back and we had a later incarnation! I must check what I was up for...

Besides the Tamiya Meteor, I was up for completing the Zvezda (ex-Dragon) T-72B with ERA. I had totally forgotten it was entered here, and finished it last year, with Tamiya tracks in place of the unusable L&Ls. Here she is:

Cheers, thanks for looking, sorry about the wait!

Hey, I like that Stick, nice and dusty.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks MC. It is probably my favorite US WWII tank build yet. Everything came out just right.

I was looking at the list and still have the P-3C and RF-4 to complete but got 4 of them out of the way.

I have 2 A-10s and 2 F-4Bs to add to the list.
