I would be in for a 15/16 build. I have something non traditional in mind if it's allowed and would be a crossover with my Star Trek group build.

I'm still standing.  Don't know if I'll get the TF-104 done, but the 106 should be no problem.

Well, I AM only missing the F-106 to complete the set, so, I'd be up for a 15/16 version...if, of course enough guys express interest.

That is a good question, If there is enough interest then it might be justified.....:-)

Question for Theuns and/or Rob.  Is there going to be a 2nd annual Century Series GB?

Canopy on, and primer coat on. Of course the primer shows all the imperfections, but as this is my first serious attempt at a model ever (instead of the ol' slap em together with goopy glue and brush marks 20 yrs ago) I'll have to learn and improve with each consecutive kit. There were some seam lines I just couldn't get to level out without destroying the raised detail.

Thanks all. This has been a great GB to be in. Thanks for all the help.  I may be in for another build soon if I can get a jet model. Maybe an F-15 or something.

Okay all,

Sorry for being gone for a bit. Life has crept in and my whole family has been sick. I finally got the windscreen for the F-105 and will get it painted and on the plane today and get a good photo of it and post.

Hey there are some awesome builds. Great job all.

They are and they are kind of old so I'm being very careful.  I have had a few splits in the film but nothing disastrous yet.  There is no copyright date but the decals are by Scalemaster.

That does look good! I assume those large decals were a paint to put on?

I have some progress pictures of the Six.

 Decals are only on one side but it's getting there.

Good question Craig...I was wondering that myself? Quite quiet....though I've stalled on my  projects of late as well.

Thanks guys.  As a rookie, this kit was a challenge.  For an experienced modeler, it shouldn't be too tough.  I'd love for some company to produce a 1/48 scale version of this kit.  It would be big, but it would be sweet.
