I have an A-20 to add. I was digging a kit out for another GB and found the mostly assembled fuselage buried away in a box and the rest of the kit in another box. This is the 1/72 MPM A-20 Havoc Russian torpedo bomber. Got it to the bench and it promptly sat on it's tail. I had already added weight to wherever I could, so I cut some clear sprue for a "peg leg" under the tail to glue on after paint and decals.
After a bunch of multicolor camo schemes, it's nice to have a simple paint job for a change. Here's where she sits now with the olive drab almost done.
68GT Yes, the Hasegawa kit. I've had it since the 80s and started it up when I got back into the hobby. Its an old kit and had some warp issues but will finish it before I start one of the newer ones I have. Not a bad kit overal though!

Thanks 68GT.
Which P3 kit is that, the Hasegawa? I ask because I've been contemplating buying that kit for a while.
Thanks, Tony.
Nice job on the new exhaust. That T-33 is really coming along.
Excellent Mach1, that looks really good. Nice scheme too.
I couldn't live with the jet exhaust in my 1/32 T-33, it just looked terrible. I stuck a grinding bit into it and cut it out, then rebuilt it all with two sizes of brass tube.

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
Calling the Jaguar A done. Apologies for the shine around the decals - I ran out of clearcoat and need to order some more.
68GT Sometimes with kits like these its just best to take a bunch of baby steps.

Agreed.
Hi Everyone,
I was given the Czech Model 1/32 T-33A for my birthday in 2012. I put the cockpit and drop tanks together then realised that the fit of the rest of it was, ummmmm, very challenging. It went back into the box until 3 weeks ago when I pulled it out. I'm determined to finish it this time around.
The box art...
The status three weeks ago...
...and some of the recent work. It's fighting me every step of the way :)
68GT I've been giving it some thought and was maybe thinking of keeping this as a rolling build. Maybe I would just change the Badge to be one and include the build year. What do you guys think? Otherwise we have 3 months left.

Defenatly, I have at least one that I can think of but can't get to it right now.

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

Nice save with the paint! The camo looks great.
Got about halfway through the second color of the camo. I think I wound up with a bad bottle of paint - it's roughly the consistancy of toothpaste straight from the bottle. Through some experimentation I've been able to thin it to where it's useable, so I'm just running with it to get this thing done.
Anybody have some progress pics? I have to decide what is going to be completed next for me.

On the workbench: Monogram 1/24 '69 Pontiac GTO and a Monogram 1/67 (box scale) B-26 Invader
Agree with Tomcat!! Hey Tomcat, I just finished the Mono Zero on this GB. Got any pics of your build?

That phantom turned out awesome.
Keeping it rolling it is. I have at least 10 more.
Let 'er roll! Still gotta finish the p-38 series plus the Mono FW-190 and the DH-2s and the Morane, plus I have the Revell Emden I started for the WW1 GB back in 2014 that aint done either!
As long as there are models to build and modelers to build them there will be "shelves of doom". So a continuous thread makes sense. I know I have several more on that there shelf that I won't get to this year.
I'm in the same boat-I have at least half a dozen 'in process' builds ranging in stage of completition-just need the motivation and maybe posting here will be that motivation...I do like the idea of a rolling build each year

Keeping it a rolling build would be kinda nice. The Jaguar A is the last from the shelf proper, but I've found a few half finished tanks buried in the hoard (while looking for models for other GBs) that I'd like to add here as time permits.
My
Stars are on. There are actually 3 different size stars and Aeromaster left us 2 short on the smallest ones.
Nice and clean now Mach 1.
I started with the decals on this F-4B. I didnt realize all the stars where separate decals. Still a bunch more stars to go.
freem: Nice job on the Zero!
68GT: Looks phantastic! (couldn't resist)
I had the opportunity to get in some bench time so I started by using Isopropyl Alcohol and some cotton swabs to remove the start I'd had on the camo because the paint went on too thick.
That done and given time for the alcohol to fully evaporate I started in for a second try at the camo.
PHANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! (not) sorry
Here is the Fujimi F-4B that never was completed.
I installed some of the missing parts.
