OTS 2015 (One True Scale or 1/72)

...

As the canopy will have the extra framing (like the most SAAF T-6's) not much will be visable on the inside so I went for simplicity. Painted on belts and some pinwash on the side panels.

This model I am making will be in alclad airframe alluminium to represent to this one that is based at the field I work. - 

Hi Wayne, I would like to add another quick build to the list. Another Adacemy 1/72 T-6 Harvard that I started last night.

Spectacular scratchbuild Ray...well done

Ray, that is magnificent! Way to go! Now maybe someone will kit that in plastic.

Terry, glad to see you participate here. I'm looking forward to seeing your work on this Group Build.

Wayne I'd like to sign up but I have to go through my 72nd stuff and get you a photo of my kit of choice. 

Thanks, Terry

the site has been 'bizzare' since the change. I used to track 'my discussions' and it would list anything I was currently 'discussing'. After the change, 'my discussions' only tracked what I had started as a post, then switched to anything currently discussing, now, today, it's back to the way it was before the change....getting confused 

 

Yeah, they should field test this before setting it up for us to use first. Man, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I get so tired of things like this.

ok, is it just me??

 

When I go to the 5th page of this thread, the page numbers at the bottom go -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...is anybody else seeing this? WTF.

 

not just you Owl. it looks like the numbers to the right of the 0 take you to that page. it also looks like all the numbers to the left of o tyake you to the first page.

i think i got the first page updated. nice work everyone. school is over for the year, election judge is over for the year. looks like some serious glue sniffing time. also looks like i have to field strip my airbrush from non use and using Vallejo paints. nothing serious except the potential to lose small parts.

I'm seeing it too and it doesn't make sense. It also makes it impossible to navigate this Thjread if I want to go back and check something. Maybe someone should let the Admin know.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go get my badge for this Group Build.

Yeah, that is strange.

Status update on the Hunter F58, construction in progress:

Status update on the HUnter F6, painted, ready for decals:

There's some great work on this page. I love the weathering on the Kubelwagen, and the wing tips on the Zeke, nice one Owl.

I've heard a lot of talk about those Vallejo metalisers at my club ROb, I'm going to go down that road too. Yours looks really good.

Wayne, can you put me down for anotehr couple of Hunters please

Both are based on the Revell Hunter FGA Mk 9 kit, the 1st will be a Mk 58, the Swiss export version, the 2nd will be converted to a Mk 50, the Swedish export version, which is similar to an F Mk 4.

It uses the Wolfpack Design conversion kit to change the leading edge slats and wing tips, shown in the 2nd photo.

What I am trying to do is build 5 Aerobatic team Hunters, these are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the series.

Cheers

Tony

Owl,

The more I see that Zeek the more I like it, good job girl!

Wayne,

Here is my little Kublewagen for the Mortar dio. You can remove my F14, that'll have to wait till the next OTS GB.

Sweet looking Zero OWL! I love a well weatherd Zero

Wow...great Zero!! Bloody well done!!

 

thank you! :)

got the second wing done.

Zero is finished!

Great work there guys, been quiet here. I managed to get most of the decals on. Though the kit decals have been causing grief with cracking.

I am trying something different this time. I'm doing the wings and fuselage as separate builds then bringing them all together at the end. I am happy to report that the Vallejo metalizer acrylic is super easy to work with and I am a believer. It's pricey at $12 a bottle, but, well worth it for the control you have with the AB. I was a rattle can Tamiya aircraft aluminum guy for years!
