Ninetalis: Looking forward to how she comes out, I love British aircraft but oddly have never built a Mossie. I have to pick up one in 1/48th one of these days.

Doogs: A 1/32th B-25 has to be awesome  

Undersides of the A-20 is painted and masked, I should be able to get the uppers painted this Easter weekend. Will get more photos posted when I take the masking off.

bsyamato - nice He-111! I keep eyeing that massive Revell 1/32 kit (and the Ju-88), but I've held out. So far.

Also - saw an update from Pacific Coast Models yesterday that the HK B-25 has shipped out to them...not long now!

Hey all,
I wanted to join in but I don't want to overload myself with projects that I maybe couldn't finish.
But I do have this Mossie waiting on the assembly line,
And this one will surely be done by the end of this year.

So, allright to join or is it to far down the road to enter?

With regards, Ninetalis.

Wishing to get both one day

Gamera:

The He-111 would be really cool if you get time to build her.

 

LOL i hope, need to replace the old matchbox in my shelf

 

 

Hey wow! Did you do that crazy topside camo by hand brushing?

Bsyamato: Thanks, the A-20 was a nice looking plane, I don't think the replacement (the A-26 Invader) was as pretty even though it was more powerful.

One think I really like about American planes is so many got crazy nose-art

Thanks Ed! Yeah, I'll probably lag a bit on this as I need to press on with my 109G-14 build. I did just get a hassie 1/72 B-26B, with some associated AM for this build. Lots of differing schemes for B-26's out there. I like the "mixed" OD and Aluminum, or grey, with heavy wear on the OD. However, I'm going in favor of alclad, invasion stripes, and...'cheesecake' toting guns...

 

 

 

wishing to get a Marauder just to put these decals on

Nice badge!

Cliff good update there, shapes of havoc really nice!

He-111 agiain in the box

Ed: Thanks!

Looking forward to you and Randy's builds guys!

Gamera- Coming along nicely my friend! I should be joining the build shortly so it is good to see some work for inspiration.

work has stalled. waiting for some goodies. 

Len,

Really?  As you can see I used some putty where the rudder fit and the tops of the engine nacelles but other than that everything seemed to go together pretty well. I used a little Mister Surfacer in a few gaps but didn't have any big problems.

Guess I've built so many horrible limited run kits that by now this kit seems like a shake and bake 

Gamera

Ok here's where the A-20 light bomber stands. Fit is overall excellent. Masked and painted her undersides after I took the photo. Hopefully I'll get to the uppers by the end of the week.

Tom: Very nice badge! And thanks to Doogs for the photo.

Love those Kits World cheesecake decals, I wish I'd thought of that idea- every plane is better with sexy nose-art...

Tom- Yes, I have tried it one time before. It was on an old Chevy truck that I wanted to look "used up". It worked pretty well, but I wanted it really weathered so I used the salt technique over top of it to give it that old, crusty look. I think just hairspray should work pretty well considering the fact we are just giving the impression of peeling paint, not rust. I will give you a play by play on how it goes.

Ed. Have you ever done the "hairspray technique"? I've never tried it but it sure looks like a really neat way to do things. I found a video about it here.

The old "Hey Maker" should be real sweet when you are done. I agree with you, it is hard to beat  OD, Alclad and invasion stripes. That pistol packin' mama should look good up on the nose too! Very Texas, Tom!

I am looking forward to getting started on "Dina" and wearing out that OD! Better warn my wife now she is gonna need more hairspray!

Tom- Great looking badge my friend! Should be starting mine in the next two weeks or so.

Good Point..Corrected...

thats a nice pass.

Might I suggest incorporating this?

Excellent! Thanks a bunch, Doogs! That's exactly along the lines of what I was thinking of.

I'll cut it down to the plane and bombs and put the GB theme on it.

Thanks for asking, Len. Not yet. I'll get one together...

Just wondering....is there a badge for this yet? I didn`t read all the posts on this thread so sorry if this question was already asked.

well, i finished my 109G-10 for another group build. 

invader time.

intresting rare lightning

 

 

Here's an even rarer Lightning:

This one is the P-38J that belongs to the (former) Confederate Air Force (now "Comemmorative Air Force), as the "Scatterbrained-Kid".  It was rare as it was the only airworthy Droop-snoot, but went one step farther as the only Three-seat P-38 in existance.  It had the P-38M's radar operator position and well as the bombardier nose, which made even rarer....
