Duck Hunter GB

That's looking really nice shiv, like it.

She's looking really nice!

I didn't get any bench time this week, but I should be able to get the M16 ready for paint next week...

Look forward to it.

well I got the decals (all2 of them) on the truck and the camo done. I went to doa flat clear coat and the tires just became really shiny and tacky. They are the vinyl tires that came with the kit. The after market ones I bought didn't fit even with some sanding and drilling. Anything I can do to get rid of the shine?

i always paint my tires with a heavy engine gray wash, vinyl or plastic doesn't matter.

Thanks Waynec I'll give that a shot

Thanks for the idea Waynec. The wash helped alot.

Them pesky ducks better watch out cause we have guided weaponry ready. Here is my SA-2 launcher and truck complete.

And also another pic of my USS Momsen guided missile destroyer

Great work there shiv, the SA-2 has come out great. Will be nice to se both of these on the front page. I am guessing you would like the first pic.

Sorry.. Yes Bish the first picture please

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 

Comrade gunner

comrade loader

comrade crew leader

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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...

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!

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!
