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.

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.

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. -

Cool, how long is this Group Build still going? I just picked up two Toxso SCUD B's already, so if there's still enough time, I might submit one or both of them for this.

Duke it is suppose to end 31dec but, as Bish has done, recognizing life gets in the way if you start something the end time is firm jello. i don't want folks rushing a finish for a deadline. i'll ptobably start another one of these in May. they are always fun.

i  need to start weathering my SCUD and making a base.

Theuns not a problem. i have been slow of late with responding.

Hey all...been quite a while since I've updated my Invader build. I did too realize, while in progress, I forgot to take pics ... oops...Embarrassed

Anyway, since my last update, I have the wings, whieels and props installed. The decal job is going slow, but, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

And I'm done. Calling it. Happy that this is the biggest project I've taken on since my move this past summer, so, it's a bit of a 'slump breaker'. She's quite weathered in her role in Vietnam...heavy engine grime. Enjoyed some firsts on this build. Used Vallejo Metalizer acrylics. Highly recommend. Also, tried some lighter discolourations directly behind the exhaustways. Will work more on that. Anyway, here's the final pics:

 

This was a decent kit. Quite a bit of sanding and filling, but, it wasn't a total drain on the build. Thanks to Waynec for hosting!

I'm not an AT6 fan, but you did a killer job on it Theuns. The silver looks great, especially that tough canopy.

Steve

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Rob and Theuns - nice job on the sliver finish. i need to try that one day, nmaybe on my BTTF Deloreon.

calling the SCUD done though i still need to build a revetment base and not sure how big it will be, depending on if it's going to be a diorama. i might have over weathered it but some of that may tone down on a sand base.

Sharp looking SCUD Wayne! I like it. I'm taking notes since I just started both of mine. I'm making one Russian, the other Iraqi.

Lots of great finishes in the last few weeks. I love the Orion, A-27, Texan and Scud in particular.

My Hunter has progressed a bit, here's one more WIP photo.

Cheers

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Hi, Wayne.

Since I am a true 1/72 believer, I'd like to join up here with an end-of-the-year project: Airfix's elderly Hawker Hurricane Mk I.

Just finished one for the Battle of Britain GB in markings of 145 Squadron.  And I had this in the stash; comes with markings for Robert Stanford-Tuck's first Hurricane when he moved to 257 Squadron.

I think the kit markings are not accurate, according to Osprey's Hurricane Aces book, but I think I can cobble the true markings from various decal sheets.

It's a very simple build, so I hope I can finish it in the couple of weeks remaining in the year.  Waiting for the paint to dry will probably take the longest.

I've enjoyed browsing through the earlier work here, and there's some amazing artistry going on.

Glad to have you on board CMK. I haven't seen a build of the old Airfix Hurricane for a long time.

I've finally finished the first of my Hawker Hunters...here it is as an aircraft flown by 'The Black Arrows' aerobatic team. It's the Revell kit with decals from Xtradecal.

Cheers
