Crown, your Jug is looking better and better! Whose colors did you use for the topside Dark Earth and Dark Green?

68, I cant wait to see that F-104. Is it going to be Luftwaffe or Marine?

I have to clean some things off the bench first but I have a Hasegawa 1/48 F-104 with German markings to build.

many thanks Gamera and Stikpusher.

Gave the P-47 a pin wash and some weathering.

the decals are on.

 

Man that is looking super sharp in the SEAC colors and markings! Beautiful!

I hope you guys don't mind me sticking my head in here...

Brandon and Nick: Beautiful work on the Spit and P-47 guys!!! 

Griffon: I LOVE that French M24! LOVE that awesome camo!!! 

the decals are on.

Hi, please put me down for a 1/48 academy F15e in Israeli colors.

Brandon k thank you and your spitfire looks stunning!

Lostagain thanks the p-47 up dates have been slow.

Griffin your tank awesome real cool camo.

my p47 pics.

working on deals now will post asap 

Mach 1 hasn’t posted on here since mid February. The forum search function is useless, so we really can’t see if he has posted anywhere else on the forums since then. I do hope that he is ok. I was hoping to start my project for this GB soon.

 What happened to this build? A finished build isn't even in the Gallery. Bummer man.  

Very nice work on the M 24 there Griff, super finish. Really looking forward to see it in the diorama with the cat...

And that pit looks great too crown. Coming along very nicely.

Started decaling the cat - no whiskers on this one either...

The wing codes and 'TAA' (Trans Australian Airline) are smaller than the reference photos, could be 50% bigger I think.

LOL BK. She's a 15 pounder!

I've got the French Chaffee pretty much done. I'm going to start working on the base and figures now. I'll add some gear to the tank later. The antennas are cat whiskers I find around the house.

Thanks Lost and Crown.

Mach,

Put me down for a ROK P-51 as well.

Looks like a good start Nick. Lost for some reason I can't see your pics on my phone. I'll try my tablet.... 

Griffin25. Beautiful work on that tank, stunning camo and those tracks can be a bit trouble some.

BrandonK. Awesome spitfire!! spot on camo..

Lewbud. very cool looking P-51 

up date on P-47.

Brandon, great finish on the spit, very sharp and nice restrained weathering. Got to be happy with that.

Lewbud, fast and fine work on the Weekend mustang. Good result with an unusual subject.

Griffin, really like the finish on Conti, looking forward to where you are going with this one.

The Cat has been left alone for two weeks while I was on holiday. Back now, the wing is ready for decals while the fuselage is ready for colour on the tail and hull.

So more painting to be done, and it will be interesting getting the fuselage stripe on as it has to fit over strakes and fairings. Judicious slicing and buckets of decal solvent is called for.

Mach1, go with the 3rd pic without the flash, it looks the best. Well, the best I can do while my booth is put away till we move. The pics I can do now kinda suck, but it's all I can do atm.

The overall site has been very slow on builds for months now, not just the GBs. The more prolific builders have left or slowed down over the past six months. Lots of talk here, but far less building.

Brandon: Great job on the Spit, I really like how the finish came out. Any preference for the gallery?

Lewbud: Likewise, did you have a preference for the gallery for your Mustang?

 Mach. If you're going to host a group build and someone has finished a build you might want to pipe in before 3 days pass. That's your job as the host. FYI.

Hopefully it picks up. 

 

 

I've noticed that many of the GB's are moving at a slower than normal pace. The threads all around seem to be showing less activity by many members. It must be the season and things will pick up all around.

Here's hoping it does for all the GBs. Wonder how much "show season" is affecting things?

 

Mach. If you're going to host a group build it might be good etiquette to reply to a finished build before 3 days go by. FYI

Mach,

The last pic please.

A few more weeks and I can actively partake...

That looks really nice BK. I really like the pin wash. It really shows well on the underside. This group build is a little sad I have to say. Hopefully it picks up. 

I'm calling the Spitfire done. It built up pretty nice with no real issues. I left the bird pretty clean as I just didn't want to beat this one up. The Tamiya clear darkened the paint and I won't be using that again for clear; MM clear doesn't alter the tone of the paint so I will stick with it. The paints were Vallejo RAF colors and it's OOB with kit decals.

I noticed, too late, that I put the right side decals on backwards, so that sucks. But, that's building I guess. I also noticed here that I forgot the arial and the rear view mirror. I now have those added to the kit. I still can correct the decals, oof!!

Thanks for a great GB, it was fun.

BK

Sharp looking Spit BK!
