This is my latest update showing my final work on my Group Build entries as well as the finished models.
After finding my missing parts, I got all the major assemblies and the wheels done on the little F4 Biplane. The engine in this pic is still just dry fit in place since I still needed to paint the cowl:
Next, I applied the decals to the upper wing and then sealed them:
After that was dry, I glued the upper wing to the model. Again, the engine is just dry fit until the cowl can be painted:
And here is the cowl all painted up and set aside to dry:
Later on, when it was dry, I glued it on and touched up the model.
And now I can declare my work for this Group Build done! Here is the final proof of my completed Monogram Models:
Monogram 1/72 scale F-8 Bearcat:
This was finished OOB with Tamiya Navy Blue in a spray can and finished with the kit decals.
Monogram 1/72 scale F4-B4 biplane. I built it OOB and finished with Model Master paints:
Here's a shot of the two of them side by side:
I believe I'm now a Made Man in the Monogram Mafia! Where's my stinkin' badge? 
Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome!
