Rolling Shelf of Doom GB

Nice progress on the Dodge.  Before you know it there will be 4 wheels on it and be covered in mud!

Here's where I'm at:

Waiting for paint on the Mono Zero

MS N awaits. I redid the fuselage and will reposition the wings.

Started all three Monogram P-38s in 2006. I've been in therapy since.

It is time to clear the shelf. 

Your loaded into the roster freem so now you have to start working on these.

Much more progress on the Dodge now:

68GT, I'd love to join this group build....I just have so much to chose from.  For now, put me down for a Revell F-4B/J Phantom and/or an Airfix Aichi Val dive bomber, both in 1/72nd scale.  Both are mostly assembled, but lack exterior painting, decals, and final clear coats.  I'll post pictures as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Dave

Got the green on the Zero! 

Armor, nice work so far!  What are you final plans with this one for the finish?

Freem, I bet it feels good to get some green on that zero doesnt it.

Dave, welcome aboard and those old Revell Phantoms can come out nice with a little work.  I used CAM Decals on this one.

Some of them older kits can be some real turds but with enough polish they can turn out just fine.  Here is the old Revell Rf-4E and a pair of Monogram Strike Eagles all in 1/72 scale.

Here are some shots of the finished F-5E in Brazilian camo. In the interest of full disclosure this is 100% hand brushed with Vallejo Acrylics.

.... and now on to the Jaguar A.

Armor, sounds like a hell of a project.

Mach I, nice job o the F-5E.  I really like that Brazilian camo!

Several years ago I got a box of ten of these bagged Revell kits at a ridiculously cheap price on Ebay and couldn't pass them up.  The basic kit was used for the set of four Blue Angels/Thunderbirds in a diamond formation kit from the 1970s/80s.  I remember that the cockpit detail was pretty sparse and the aircrew had some weird, astronaught-type helmets.  Still, they built up into some great kits, as evidenced by the one you shared with us here.  Very nicely done!  I have several sets of 'ancient' decals that I am planning to use on these old Phantoms.  I'll just have to start with the first one!

Sprayed real nice!  Funny thing is it almost matches the color of the plastic perfectly.

Good to exercise the airbrush, those WW1 kits get brush painted.

Mach1 that is one fine camo job!!  Brush work incredible!

68GT

Thanks 68GT, looking forward to it.  Your F4 came out very nicely.  I have an ancient set of "Jolly Roger" decals somewhere, and hope to one day complete one as nice as yours.

68GT: Thanks! It definitely stands out in the display case (or it will when I get a base made to properly pose it "in flight").

freem: Thank you! Looking forward to watching your Zero progress.

AA: Love the Panzer! Nice progress on the Dodge as well, that's going to be an impressive diorama.

Getting closer on the Dodge:

Armor you've really got that Dodge rollin!!

Got busy on the bench this week!

Laid out the parts for the M. How could I get so close and not finish?

Gear doors hung and wheels installed, plus elevator balances.

Got the decals on the Zero. 

Almost done now, just have to apply decals, weathering, and the windshield.  I decided to forgo the canvas top, as I wanted to fill the back with supplies.  The winch did not come with cable, so I made my own cable and hook:

Keep up the good work guys!

I had a Future session in the present!  Sealed the decals on the Zero and got the F-5 ready for decals!" alt="" />

Also thought the markings for the Zero were probably bogus but the same AC is in Squadron Zero in Action book!

I think it's the 1/48 scale Monogram kit.
