On deck: Who knows!
Thanks Bish! I am determined to make it work regardless so I will keep my fingers crossed it turns out!
So, the cockpit is all weathered and ready to be closed up and mostly hidden from the world

Excellent use of washes and grime!
Thanks Chad! I think I might be heading this one toward a worn combat look.
Hello friends. I'm calling this one done! So, after looking through the pics, I discovered that I neglected to re-scribe the leading edge panel lines on the wings! But I’m happy overall. The host can choose which pic to use for the front page. Thank you Theuns and Bish for hosting!
Very nice Chad! The paint looks fantastic And the details are sharp! I‘ll bet if you step away from it for a day or two you could go back and fix those panel lines if it bugs you at all. I am sure you have the skill to get it done if you wanted to.
Thanks George! I just might do that at some point.
That looks FANTASTIC Chad, I can't wait to see it in person! I would have never known about the leading edge panel lines, but like George said, it shouldn't be hard to fix if it bothers you.

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

Worked a little on the Badger today and attached the nose and tail to the mid section. The seams all fair but the tail section seam does need some work.
That is a very good looking HE 111 you got there, I ike the change from the standard splinter camo, great job thanx for taking part.
Theuns
Great job there Chad, she came out really nice. I'll get the front page updated.
Coming on nicely Steve.

Thank you! It’s definitely coming with me.
Bish Great job there Chad, she came out really nice. I'll get the front page updated.
Thank you my friend!
Updated. The front page is looking good with a nice variety there already.
Some more work on the Badger. I filled the gaps using Perfet Plastic Putty. I like the ease of cleanup with wet sanding. The tail seam still need some work though. Oops, it looks like I forgot the side of the engine nacelles.
I’m with you on the PPP. I love it for filling wing root gaps! Looks like your making record pace.
That He111 is amazing! Especially the canopy. Those can be a beast to do, but that one came out amazingly well. Great job!

Thank you Doug!
Seams filled, canopy on and ready to mask and paint.
Looking good! I always feel a big sense of accomplishment at this stage. I hope you do as well!
Nice work there Steve.
Looks like a bit of work has gone into that Badger Steve, great work on the seams too. I have PPP, use it sometimes, but still prefer good old Tamiya putty. I clean it up with a Q-Tip dipped in Tamiya Lacquer thinner a few moments after applying it. Same principle as PPP, less sanding. I do use PPP around canopies every time though.
I've had a lot of trouble deciding on a build for this GB, I don't build bombers very often.
Some current thoughts, all in 1/72: Airfix Gloster Javelin, Airfix Blenheim, Hasegawa B-25 or B-26, or maybe B-24. There was a Fairey Battle in there somewhere.
See what I mean, can't decide !
Cheers

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
Tony , I know what you mean...so many great subjects to select from.
Haha, since then I've been thinking of a TBD Devastator or a Mosquito bomber !
Hey everyone...man there are some awesome builds going on here! Great work!
Well, with all these great builds going on, I decided to do another bomber. This kit has been a little bugger for sure! It's no secret I'm a buy models at low prices kinda guy and I'm not afraid to walk out of a model show with 20-25 OLD kits! LOL! So, yes, I pay the price in the long run with bad decals, missing parts, bad fits, you get the point, but this one is the first time I've run into brittle plastic! The very small parts (ie landing gear, antenna, etc.) have been crazy stupid! I'd say 60% of the parts broke and I had to do repairs on them! I tried every method to keep them from snapping, but sometimes it just didn't work. The fit has been over all good, instructions easy to read, but the brittleness of the plastic has really tried my patiences! LOL! Anyway, here is what I've done so far. Hope to have her finished this weekend.
Sorry, can't find the pics of the model box. It's an Italerei Ju86 D1 Kit #114 in 1/72. And just to prove my "cheapness" I got it at a yard sale for $3. LOL!
Eagle I think hunting the old cheap kits is almost as much fun as building them. I like building the swap meet finds myself and pride myself on using the old decals etc. LOL.
The Ju86 is coming along very nicely! Great find and nice build so far!

That's what I'm saying! Finding those kits you saw as a kid...but couldn't afford, or finding the ones you built...and then promptly destroyed...I love bartering with the vendors too. LOL! But boy do those decals give you a hard time huh?
Thank you so much. It has been a hassle with the brittle plastic, but she is looking really nice now. Will be a great addition on the shelf.
Thanks again!
