Duck Hunter GB

Hey Peter,

Got your pic posted.  Great job!  I really like the camo job.  Thanks for being in the GB!

ye, I did notice you had been away for a while wayne. Good to see you back and look forward to those pics.

Our pleasure peter. Really nice build. I'm a huge 251 fan and always like seeing them built, but even more so when they are like this. Great job.

nice camo. is it blended with anything or is that the way the camera took the pic? i really like the lack of sharp contrast aand toned down look.

i am still working on JGSDF TYPE 87 spaa. indy tracks bah.. well probably being chicken s**t on this but i needed an easy fast build to get my *** going so i started the 37mm  FLAK 37 towed gun. should have it ready to prime and pics on wed.. probably to a truck and have it in travel mode. that should complete the hat trick for this GB. i have been away too long.

No worries Peter. It doesn't matter if its not finished by tomorrow night, as long as you have posted some progress pics, which you have.

Really nice job on this. I have built one of Dragon's 251's, the /17 Ausf D, so I guess this is pretty similar. But were there any issues with the kit. I have this in the stash as well, along with all my other 251's, so anything to look out for would be nice to know.

Stik: That little MG looks very nice!

Eagle: She's looking great! I can't ait to see that diorama!

Bish: Thanks for keeping this one open for everything already WIP! All the problems with my P-47 really ruined my building schedule...

Thank you sir!  Bish is helping with the dio too, so it HAS be good!    I'm excited about it and should get moving on it soon.

Nice work guys, right in under the wire. I do like those figures stik, really nice work on those. Now they just need a base.

Eagle, really nice job on that. That colour is a lot better. And lovely backdrop, that will look nice behind the dio. Look forward to that's when its done.

Same with your wayne.

We have just over one day left for this GB to run. I would like to thank everyone who has taken part and produced some great builds. Of course, any builds that have already been started, feel free to keep posting your progress and claim your badge as long as you have posted some progress pics before the deadline.

And thanks eagle for helping me out with this one. Hopefully it hasn't given you to many headaches and will be good practice for hosting your own GB. Speaking of which, don't forget guys, Eagle and myself have the 2 Armour in the West GB's coming up in June.

caution, shameless plug approaching.

I know that feeling. I need to finish the bunker for my 88 diorama too. Wont be done before the deadline.

Hey Wayne!  Ya, it will not be done by the end of the GB for sure, but it will be cool when it's finished!

Yeah, your 88 needs a crew... all guns need a crew! I look forward to that diorama

LOL!   I am doing figures for it too!  Even got a radio guy from a good friend!  These will be my first figures (other than the bigger Mr. Scott I did), so it will be fun!

Thank you  Stik!  Coming from you, that means a lot!  Thanks!  

I plan on doing a dio with her.  Got a couple of things that will really make it pop!  More to come on that.

Great pics you posted!  I hope I do you proud!

Eagle, that looks dang good to me! I really love that backdrop, it adds a nice touch of a beautiful day about to be ruined by the aluminum overcast.

Pick whichever photo you prefer my friend!

Hard to follow someone like stik, but I'm calling mine finished also!  My first armor type kit!  And it was a blast!  I want to thank everyone for all the great reference material and advice.  It is greatly appreciated....you all rock!  Well, here she is, ready to make some poor pilot's day really bad!  And she  has some kills to her name already!

Eagle90

Stik!  That is totally awesome!  Great job!  Someone is going to have a bad day!  

Which pic would you like on the finish page?

Eagle90

Shiv, thanks for the clarification on that. Some of those Arab markings and paint schemes are pretty hard to tell apart.

Eagle, I look forward to your finished 88. I never get tired of seeing those.

Well, I am calling these guys done. I present my Peking Duck... Hunters, with Korean winter seasonings

Thanks stik!  I'm pretty excited about finishing my first armor type kit!  The Puma is coming along very nicely too, but it is a lot different than the 88 is build wise.  

Eagle90

Thanks Stick. The markings are Egyptian from the Yom Kipur war

Shiv, that SA-2 looks great! are those Egyptian or Iraqi markings? I like that Arleigh Burke class build as well. I see ships of that class moored nearby at Seal Beach every so often and their lines are growing on me.

Eagle, always good to see the classic 88! Yours is almost done! I cant wait to see her finished!

Well the other day I realized that the end date here is just around the corner, so I pulled my build off the sidelines and started knuckling down on the finishing touches. I hope to have some photos up soon.

Thank you Bish!  Hoping to have it finished this weekend!  Thanks again for all the help with it!

Eagle90

My pleasure on the paint colour. That's looking nice, should not be long now.

So I finally got the correct color on the 88 (thanks Bish!)  and I am detailing it now and going to put some kill stripes on her soon.  She is just about done! 

Eagle90

Hey Shiv, got your pic posted and might I say......WOW!!!!!!!!!  Man, that is one sweet build!  Absolutely gorgeous!  

Eagle90

No problem, I know Eagle will put it up soon.

Again, great work, a pleasure to have it here.
