Basic cockpits are assembled and painted with the instrument decals in place.  Now I have to figure what I'm going to add to the interior if anything.  I don't think much will be visable with a closed cockpit.

On Ed's bench, ???

@modelcrazy, I too am in the Boise area.

@Matt, I'd like to join this group build using the F-4G 1/48 from Hasegawa, hopefully, it is okay that I will be using this aircraft for both the Third Annual Berny Memorial GB.  If not, I will definitely find something to contribute to this GB.

On the Bench:  Lots of unfinished projects!  Smile

Here's my Mi 24 after a weekend of work. After I make sure all areas are filled and sanded it'll be ready for painting. I am intentionally leaving off the main rotors, tail rotor, wheels and cockpit windscreen to cut down on painting complications.

Matt

The model went together well, with the usual Revell part misalignments, that needed filling and sanding. It is, however, surprisingly detailed and I am enjoying this build. When you can pick it up in just about any store that sells models for kids, with a cost of around $13 (at least in my area of Boise, ID), I would recommend it for fun.   My next pics will be after painting and before weathering and placing on the base.

Here is the progress on my Mi-24. It's going together well so far. Although I did have to do a considerable amount of filling behind the chin turret. Also I lost some raise panel line detail when I sanded the seams. The seams are so light though, it may not be noticeable once painted. I still may sand them off and cut in new panel lines.

Matt and TarnShip,

 

I have not forgotten about this GB, nor will I. I will probably get started in about a month. WIP pics will be coming.

 

Thanks,

Matt-Joachim

I don't see why rotors wouldn't be allowed (unless there is some rule that I am unaware of)

If so I might even build a helicopter myself! The more the merrier.

Hope to have you on-board Waynec !

oh i'll join. have a 1/48 OH-58D and a 1/35 special forces BLACKHAWK (both of which may not be attack a/c per se). if i sell some stash will get a drone.

It depends on the gb....most of them you have to complete your build first such as the rommel vs monty gb and the monogram mafia gb. But some of them, like the 3rd annual berny memorial gb allow you to take it when you enter.

I've got this! I'll make a banner for us. I know I used to be a creative artist. To my understanding one only has to enter the group build to put the banner in their sig (that is what I read somewhere) But please, by any means correct me if im wrong
