75th Anniversary of 1944 Group Build (World at War)

Nice work, Mark.  Both turned out really well.  Great painting and decaling!

Got outside this morning before the temps hit the mid nineties with corresponding humidity...

Here is the Hellcat all done...

Now the Thunderbolt...

Sorry it took so long getting back to you, Mark.  There seem to be log-in problems with the Forums, and I couldn't sign back in using Chrome.  I got back in using MSN.  

There's currently a thread going on about it at Forum Feedback & Error Reporting.

Now, to the point:  these are fantastic looking planes!  Out in natural light, it's hard to tell that they're models at all!  Wonderful job!

Do you have a preference for the finish-photos?

Whew, I thought I was the only one with this problem. I couldn't login with Chrome either. I logged in with Microsoft edge. However, Microsoft edge would not let me get the pic address to post in my reply, so I had to have both browers running and toggle between Chrome and Edge to first copy the image address then paste it into the photo insertion box. With all those pics It was truly a pain 

Any how, as for the favorites, I've narrowed it down for the P47 to either the 7th or last pic. As for the F6, the 3rd, 6th or 8th would work. Sorry I can't narrow it down any further than that. It was a fun build and learned alot about NMF, I'll apply to future builds. Thanks for running this and all the "Wordls at War" builds. See you in '45. 

Nope, you're not the only one with the problem.  Chrome still isn't working on my home laptop, but it does work on my office computer at work.  Go figure?

At least, I've managed to get your finished build photos posted, working with both MS and Chrome.  

Thanks for being part of the WWII GB's, Mark.  Your're work has been a pleasure to see.  I appreciate your participation, and we'll see you in '45!

Finally started my Mustang

I'll be doing this in the markings of Daddy's Girl flown by Capt Ray Wetmore 370FS/359FG Green Nose 

Eduard pe used

And I got this far in one day. No interruptions 

Very nice, tj.  You packed a lot of detail into the cockpit.  Looks like assembly is going well.

Taking this chance to say great work everyone been watching. Hope I'm in again for a while; never know at the moment after logging out.

Three shades of metal

That's a great looking natural appearing NMF, tj.  Nice work getting the shades to harmonize so well.

Getting ready for color

I always start to worry at this point, that the NMF won't pull off with the tape.  

Full color

Great NMF, tj.  Quite a colorful aircraft!

Well I'm calling this one done. A little drama at the end. Had to repaint the anti glare panel

Great looking result, tj.  A very sleek looking Mustang.  The NMF is superb, and you got the anti-glare panel done up right!

Which photo do you like for the finish picture?

As always, thanks for being part of the GB.  It's always a pleasure to view your work.

I think that one shows the nose art best!

Thanks again for adding a great plane to the GB.

Oh man! I thought for sure I built something for this GB 

I'd better fins something in the stash and knock it out before the end of the year. "Luckly" we are furloughed between the 21st and 4th so I should get some bench time between my second job.

Don't worry, Steve.  Anything you start yet this year, you can go ahead and finish, even if it takes into next year.

Thanks Check.

I think I can build and finish the Duddlebug before the end of the year.

That's a good kit make sure you protect the little generator prop in the nose.

Nice choice, Steve; a little out of the usual! 

I can't quite see the scale, but I've posted it to the build roster.

Don't worry about the finish time.  If you get it done by the end of the year--fine.  But if you need time to "deck the halls" or go "a-wassailing," you can still post it whenever.

Thanks Check!

It's a 1/48

Thanks, Steve.  I've added that little detail!
