GROUND ATTACK GB

Good hunting Modelcrazy!

My F4u is almost complete. All it needs now is the under-wing ordinance and decaling !

Almost ready for my "ready for inspection pic!"

F4U fully loaded out. The only thing left are the final touches and decals!

Nice progress modelcrazy. Let me know how that one builds. I see it at the store a lot!

I have some Fujimi 1/72 Ju87s I'm going to build.

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.

Steve

Fast build!

68gt you are added to the roster.

@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.

Not a problem Jelliott523, cross-overs are allowed. You are on the roster!

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.

Nearly finished with the F4-U4 (minus canopy, top coat and decals)

Here's my A-10. I'm about get going on it hard and heavy once that corsair is out of the way.

Way to go 68GT! I can't wait to see it!

More progress on my A-10. My F4U-4 is about 99.99% done so the final pics will be up VERY soon. I just have a few touch ups I have to do.

Here's my Hind done.

Steve

Here's my finished Mi-24 Hind.

I'm not completely happy about the finish. I used Acrylic for the color coat which made it very dull. I then sprayed gloss lacquer so I could lay down a black wash. This did not go as well as planed, the wash was too thin and just beaded off. I then thickened the wash and applied, but then I couldn't get enough of the excess off to be happy with. So in frustration I decided this will be a very dirty Hind (I've seen pictures, there are some). So I then lightly sprayed some exhaust streaks, and sprayed a dull coat to knock down the gloss.

I didn't like my method, does anyone have a better one?

I've ordered a canopy for the Hun from Squadron last night. So I will be building a F104C and F100D. COOL!

Steve

Modelcrazy you have earned the badge. And you are the first to complete your build. (only because im building 2 for this particular GB lol ;] you have been added to the 'ready for inspection section on the first page!

A-10 assembled, ready for paint.

My finished corsair.

The black sheep decals all ripped so I used the 2nd livery provided

AGM-65's drying. I decided to go with the OD option.

...Filling wing gaps between the fuselage and wings,and engine housing.

Steve, The Hind turn out fantastic! Great job!

Matt, the Corsair looks fantastic too! And I'm looking forward to seeing the A-10 completed!

Thanks! The last 2 models I've completed have been my first ever minus the one from when i i was 12

Matt,

Put me down for a 1/72 Hasegawa He111 P/H for a second build. I'll start on it as soon as I'm finished with the Chi Ha, F100D, F104C and Me 262.

At some point I'll get back to my Arizona.

I built this a while ago. I'm an out of the box builder.

Thanks to all. and keep up the good work.

Modelcrazy- I can't wait to see your next build after seeing that Hind!

68GT- Triple threat, I see...

seasick- nice Hornet there

That looks great 65gt!

I may have to put my A-10 in the scrapyard (MASSIVE super glue disaster)

However I Just started on SEVERAL kits this week, I will decide which one(s) to put on this GB

F-15E, F/A-18E, ME 262 A1a(it has bombs)

Matt,

I'm ready to start the He-111. I'm building H-2 version with the Kampfgeschwader 55 "Greif" (KG 55) (Battle Wing 55), 1940.
