That's one of the reasions I like this group build, the suprize and the joy of planning and giving.

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

I have to say that regarding the front page of finished kits, and that they were gifts in a genre e.g. not specifically picked by the modelers... that's a really impressive set of builds! (Self back patting asside :p )
Thanks,
John
Chad, Mongoose, John BK, thank you
Well done, Steve. Very nice looking AC. I'll get the front page updated.

On the bench:

In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
She's an absolute beauty!

God, Family, Models...
At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
I'm done. Three fun builds. THANK YOU to both my secret Santas. You guys picked some great picks. One of my wish lists were any 1/72 Airfix except WW2 fighters, so I received the Airfix Blenheim . The other list was any 1/72 modern airfraft so I received both the Revell MiG 29 and the Revell Eurofighter. So number 3 is now done.
I'll just move closer to the monitor, that should fix it on my end. LOL
I just realized I didn't put up a badge for this one. NEW BADGE POSTED ON FRONT PAGE.
Shorter?
LOL, well what I do know is that that silvering is driving me crazy .
I suppose I can work with it some more, They were still drying.
I always find it odd that when you start applying decals it makes the kit look shorter. Looks good, Steve.
OK guys, getting close to the end now.
I sprayed gloss and added the topside decals. Now just get the bottom done, then on to the finish.
That's going to be a neat looking bird Steve!
Steve, the subtle tonal difference in the color looks very good. I think the Eurofighter is a very cool AC. Glad to see it coming along.
I got back to the Eurofighter and started painting.
Sailing_Dutchman I am almost finished with mine, just trying to fit everything in with my move to Europe.

Just kidding. You may get an extention for that.
What I love is all the builds still ongoing! This GB has been a year-long gift. Awesome builds guys.
Just thinking last night that I need to get back on the Eurofighter
How is everyone doing on the remaining builds? It's been quiet for awhile and I wanted to make sure we all got them in before Thanksgiving.
Thank you gentlemen, for all the kind words. It was a fun kit to build.
MC & BK--- nice work on those birds.
Finally got back on the Vindicator. Getting the pits in is a fight, my fault but getting there. Once I get the fuselage closed up the rest should go fairly fast
BrandonK As promised, here are the completed pics of the F-102A Case XX. This was a nice kit and really did not have any issues aside from fat fingers and small parts and places. I am pleased with how it came out. I know you can't really tell in the pics, but the camo is a tri-color upper camo with two greens. From the pics of Vietnam era AC that I looked at, the theater fading created greens that greyed and blended together. I think I pulled that off in the colors I chose. I hope you like the pics. I am looking forward to seeing everyone else finish up as well. We still have a few months. BK

Great job!
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
What a cool looking aircraft. I think you made the camouflage fade look very true to life. Great job!
I just put the finishing touches on the 102. I will get some pics of it in the next few days and get them posted up. I think it came out pretty nice. Hope all is well with all of you guys.
I love the Eurofighter, but I can't seem to locate a 48th scale for a decent price. They always seem over priced. I say that as I look at my B-17 with about $200 in add ons waiting to be started and I roll my eyes.
Thanks BK,
I'm with you, after looking through MiG-29 images I was surprised to find that almost all of them look in great shape, especially the ones of the Polish and Russian air Forces . In fact, I feel I was a little heavy on it but I was trying out, or perfecting rather, some new techniques. The Eurofighter will be about the same.
Not that I am at all surprised, but you did a fantastic job on the Mig, Steve. Beautiful job from start to finish. I think you nailed the weathering very well. I've never seen any Migs that were beat up. Well done. I'll update the front page.
