Thanks for the offer. Honestly after some of my postings I was asking myself why?....I just gonna get refence material (walk arounds and such) and make it closer to scale anyways. =] Within the rules of course. Thanks for the help.

Ok, thats odd. What about a colour chart from a different SR-71 kit. I have an Italeri, but theres no way i can get to it. Maybe someone else could send scan and send you some.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Well, when I got home I opened the second kit in my stash to see if I was missing some instructions. Both boxes do not have paint ummm... which color goes where chart.
Fingers crossed.
I am very close to the end of my Panther build, close enought to smell it. I should be starting on my sabre in a few days.
Wow... When you said the same kit sub had, I realized once again I have two of these kits as posted above... I will go open the shrink wrap on the other kit and see what I find.
And i just realised, the A,B,C,D etc refer to where certain colours go on that model. So the letters don't refer to colours from their range. The guide is normally on another part of the instructions to the painting & decaling guide.So if thast missing, you would need someone with the same instructions.
Unfortunatly, the revell site doesn't show the instructions for this kit.
So this must be the same kit Sub revoloution was thinking of.
Yes 72nd 71 kit 85-5810. Thanks for checking.
I will see if i can dig out one of my Revell kits and see if thats any use. I just realised your not on the roster. Is this a 72nd revell kit, and it is an SR-71, right?
I cant seem to find Revells color chart for my instructions.... what color is A and B and C..D, E,H,J? I searched the net and the box. I see the colors are posted on the box, but only to show which colors to use. Theres no matching chart...
Might have been a Testors, then. I really don't remember!
June 1 I can do.
Thanks, Budd
I remember one that Testors did.

End date is the 1st June. I didn't realise Revellogram did a Blackbird. Might be a bit of a search to find that one.
Ok, I'm in.
As I said in the feeler, I will do a 1/72 SR71, since it was the first model my dad built for me (no idea what the first one I built was!) I will have to see what I can find to fit the bill. Seeing how that was in 1990-ish, it was probably a Revellogram. Now I think the trick will be how to get another model without the Wife noticing....
What is the end date? I must have missed that. I will be a couple months, but it looks like my spring schedule just opened up.
Bish I know original kits that old are very hard to get hold of, i was very lucky. I don't see a problem with getting as close as you can. I don't have a problem with the masks either.

And Joseph says and I quote, "Have a good day" as well.
Hey There Gang, My 1/72 Revell Saab Draken arrived the other day. Upon inpection it came to my attention that this is not a repop of the original kit I built some 40 yrs ago. The give away was the recessed panel lines. Upon further investigation it appears that this kit is a repop of a Hasegawa kit. Given that I have yet to find one the original kit I built I was hoping that it might still be OK to build this one. I will continue to search for the original 60's kit.
Also, can I get a ruling on precut canopy masks?

Ripcord I ordered my stuff today. Squadron did not have what I want so it came from tower which means I will not be able to to see it till Thursday or later.

TONY - I really like Mustangs. Both kinds. Nice start.
Cheers Joe.
I nearly started the T-Bolt last night, but then the iron hand of self discipline took hold and I picked up the F4U I've been doing.
Here's where I got to with the 'Stang. The body is painted. Everything else is ready for paint, and I stripped the too bright chrome off it in preparation for some Alclad.
Cheers
Tony
I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
Hey taxtp. Thats all good if you want to show the Mustang here. Looking forward to seeing it, Joe
Frog 1/72 P-47D - Update
No update , but I think I'll start by re-scribing it in front of the TV. Man, how I hate re-scribing. I'll probably make a start after Christmas I think. The schedule looks a bit busy this side of the New Year.
This was my first aircraft model. I think I mentioned before that my first car model was the Monogram 1/32 1966 Mustang GT-350. I'm reprising it for the Monogram Mafia II GB, I figured there might not be any harm in also showing it here. Is that OK ?
Dude where do I begin????? When I first started I didn't have anything but just some basic paints, model glue, paint brushes and I think that is about it. Spray cans didn't start entering the pictures until about 2 years into building models. Thinner???? My dad is an automotive mechanic so I always had a constant supply of gasoline, which was my thinner. When I first built this kit it was molded in the same color(blue and black). The upper surfaces weren't painted at all and the bottom got a coat of some sort of grey thinned with gasonline. The interior was painted with some craft paint my aunt had which was water based and labelled apple green. It was a no frills fun build back then and I enjoyed every minute of creating what I was reading about.
Joe - A muy excellent job on the cockpit. Really Nice. As far as slipping in some PE goes, I guess we'll just have to take your birthday away. Looking forward to Joseph's endeavors. How about some pics of you all working together?
Bish - Being in the same boat as you as far as GB overcommittment, I'm here to lend you some encouragement. Take your time and give us your best.
In staying with the spirit of this GB I would like to encourage folks to share what skills, techniques and materials you are utilizing now as opposed to when you first built the kit. How much has your modeling skills advanced since first starting in the hobby. What attracted you to this particular kit when you first built it? A little of your modeling history if you will.
I hear that too. I'm trying to get my son going to help me out a little more. I'm not going to do this whole thing by myself and call it a build from Joseph and I. He's supposed to help me out tonight so I can proceed a little futher in the morning. My point is that it would be nice if this plane was finished by the end of Dec so I can focus my attention fully on the Fw190 build. Its a prettey straight forward built but If it doesn't finish within "my time line "I'll deal with it. He's having fun while he is doing it and I don't want to push him too hard.
I doubt it. I have decided to break my golden rule and work on more than one project at a time. Actually 3. I will have one main build, a secondary build and be catching up on Dio's. The F-86 will be my secondary build, so i will work on that one night a week. I am really behind on my builds at the moment so need to try and catch up.
I hear ya. You are gonna pass me by quick. I'm trying to pattern this build around my sons schedule which is homework from school. He's got a couple of things to do tonight if he finishes homwork in time. I'm in no rush though. It takes however long it takes. He's showing a bit of interest in this though. He doesnt know it yet but he has a Monogram Avenger under the tree and a Hans Rudel Stuka on the way(this kid has been dying to build a tankbuster Stuka!)
Nice start Joe. I just got a base for mine today, should be able to start the build next week.
Ok guys. Here it is. The completed pilots area with the completed gunners turret and gun. I opted not to go with the decal instrument panel and stole the panel from my Hasegawa stash. Joseph painted the flooring and sides of the interior of the fuselage(which will be posted later). Tonight is more primer and airbrushing on Josephs part. I scratch built the belts out of lead foil but had no way of replicating the buckles. Please forgive the use of the only few photo etch details I'm gonna do to this thing. Just couldn't let it go. Sorry for having to tilt your heads to view the second pic. I tried to resize and rotate but it wasn't happening.
