Mopar Madness still can't log on but he can lurk so he sent me some pictures of his progress to post.
He says he's going for dusty and dirty.
Execlent job Chad. The detail is fabulous.

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

That really does look good, SD. It's amazing the trasformation these things take on when we put some color on them. I'm looking forward to see the weathering process.

On the bench:
A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!

Looks good SD
I got her painted up:
I started with a white-black preshading coat then used Mission Models RLM 80 over that. Just have to do the detail panting and the weathering and I will be finished.
John, you got me all kinds of excited to see color going down.
Chad, looks like you're making progress. I always enjoy closing them up as it makes me feel like I'm actually getting it done.
Mopar Madness John, how would you rate the overall fit and finish of that kit? I’ve been wanting to build one of those for a while.

It's a nice kit. Typical early tamiya. The one piece canopy is a drawback
Thanks,
John
Got all of the interior bits primed and ready for a coat of RLM 02 and some dusty summer weathering. Should be closing up the fuselage soon!

God, Family, Models...
At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
Lot's of nice working going on here. Put a bit of time in on the Buffalo - Black based (actually the scheme I'm doing 1/2 the unerside is black and the other 1/2 is sky blue). Shot the sky blue on.
I've made some progress with the F-102A. I am tidying up some small bits and getting ready for primer this weekend, I hope. I'll post up some pice before and after the first trips to the booth.
I was going to build it wheels up, but the gear bay doors are larger by a lot than the openings and trimming them down to fit turned out to be a bad idea. So, I'll go ahead and pose it wheels down, belly open, with everything on display. It has nice detail so no point in hiding that.
SD, that looks really good even without paint. I'm curious to see what paint scheme you choose.
It is quite good, and while not as sharp as a Dragon kit, it beats the Tamiya Bulldog I built hands-down in every way.
Very nice Sailing_Dutchman! Is the detail good on it??
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
Here is my work on the Bulldog:
I am working on cleaning it up for painting now, will post more pics after priming.
Yup, I've had that exact issue before. Sand off the pins and start in that spot with glueing and work your way around a bit at a time and take a few days to get it all done. It will align perfectly and you will be super happy with it. Paul B. does this on all his kits and that man is a modeling God. Good luck.
I think the idea you told me of removing the aligning pins sounds like a good solution.
Hello everyone. I've cracked open the Hs 126 A-1 and started to get this build under way! Going with some nice photoetch enhancements to the front office but this kit really doesn't need them as its quite beautiful OTB. The only issue thus far is a misaligned fuselage that I'll have to put on the thinking cap to remedy. Such a beautiful bird.
TheMongoose Eagle90 that looks like some thick mud! very realistic for sure. How painful was it to bury those tracks?

Well, for me, I cut out trenches where I wanted to sink the model into. Used styphome. Then I used celluclay paint goop mix to cover it.
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!
Thanks Eagle 90, It was really run making the mud. Also, to get it really muddy looking I used vallejo dark mud splashes and wet effects.
German Armour Well, here are some photos of what I've done so far.

WOW! That is awesome!!! Great build!
modelcrazy They'll never get out of that. The Russians are likely to pull in out at the end of the war and rebuild it. Maybe then put it on YouTube.

That they will :)
I have to add a couple more figures also. Make it a whole stuck in the mud dio.
Thats really cool, GA. The first thing I thought of when I saw the mud was Laurel and Hardy "Well it's another fine mess you've gotten us into". I really need to expand my building into dios. You guys make it look so good.
Nice....I've had a couple of 4x4's buried that deep more than once.
BK & MC, those airframes are coming along nicely
The IP is a the kit decal. I didn't spend too much time on the cockpit as it will be closed and very small so it will be hard to see anyway.
Brandon,
Looks like yours went together a lot easier than mine did. Is the IP a decal or pe? I do recomend getting the window mask for this bird, makes life a whole lot easier. Looking good.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
Ok, Gents, here's the shots I promised yesterday. I've been pretty busy this week so work has slowed, but this kit practically builds itself. More to come.
