Viet Nam War Aircraft Group Build

Very nice finish Tomcat! I hope that you do get the build the other two sometime.

Wow that Canberra turned out great.  She's loaded for bear!

Progress on the Phantom - Really liking the Flory washes

A few more doors and ordinance and she'll be done

Is that Cunningham'ss ship?  My wife's brother was on the Connie the same time I was sitting on my base.  He ended up doing a double tour on Yankee Station because their relief carrier caught fire and had to return home.

If you watched teh movie Avengers, did you notice their flying carrier also was numbered 64?

Yep - this is the bird Cunningham flew when he achieved ace status.  I have to put the ordinance on and she will be done.

thats a fine looking F4.

Gracias Crown.   This one has been fighting me all the way.

Almost done - I need to do the ordinance on the other side.  

Looking very sharp John. One more step and you’re done!

I'm shelving the project for now, John (Eaton). I've got some other stuff to do and I really don't want to spend more time with this group.

Stay safe, everyone.

Bill

We'll miss you, Bill.  Fair weather and smooth seas.

Calling this one done.  This is the Cunningham/Driscoll mount when Cunningham got his 5th kill.  Fought me all the way and pleanty of mistakes but basically looks like a phantom. 

Looks very nice from here, John.  A Phantom really wouldn't look right without a little ugly here and there, though I certainly can't see any from here.  I'll pick a picture but if you want a different one let me know and I will fix it.  Probably not the last one.

Thank you for participating, Yer on the Wall!

12 DAYS and no progress reports??!  Looks like I'll be settin' up a roster for that grease trap!

Oh, man, what am I gonna do with this guy?

NEVER VOLUNTEER, SOLDIER! 

Okay, the following individuals, report to the mess hall for duty at the grease trap.  You will have this duty until you complete your models and post them here.  No update posts, just finished posts.  Update posts will result in duties less attractive than the grease trap, if I can figure out what that duty might be.  Models not finished will result in permanent GT duty until the next Viet Nam build is instituted.

It's been a great group build resulting in 16 fine models being liberated from unbuilt oblivion.  So, thanks to all, whether you were able to finish or not, but especially thanks to those who did and to those who made comments.

And to those left on grease trap duty, don't get any grease on your models as you diligently work to complete them!

John Eaton

Phew, good thing I finished. I wouldn't want no GT duty or peeling no taters!

Hey, my dog ate my airbrush!  That's  not an update BTW XD

Great looking Phantom keavdog!

John,

Nice job on the Phantom.

Begging the Admiral's pardon, but I am humbly reporting for grease trap duty.  I have paint inbound from the Brothers Sprue and will be returning to to the EA-6A soon.  At least keelhauling is off the table because I've heard that's serious on an aircraft carrier.

Good thing this isn't customer service, Buddy.  Glad to hear you have some forward motion!

Thanks for the kind words all.  And thanks to John for hosting this group build - really fun!

I worked on my F-100 today guys! First Time i've been at my bench in like  months!

Come on , you know you care!
