                        Great Progress, everyone. I see the Arms race is going along nicely. Say, that gives me any Idea. We could tally completed Soviet and Nato kits, and keep a running commentaryb on the state of the Cold War.

                        I have started the Lightning, parts are detached from the sprue, and some of the raised surface detail has bee nremoved. I've also cut off the blanks for the intake and jet pipes, as they only allow a couple of MM before being blanked off, which looks pretty ordinary.
                        I probably won't progress this one too quickly for a couple of weeks as I finish a couple of models for another GB.
                        Cheers

                        I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

                        Welcome aboard Pat. The general Idea behind a GB is to post pics of your progress or at least give an update on how everything is coming out. BTW it's good to see another ship builder in here.

                        Tony, Take as long as you need. This one won't end until December 31st.

                        Everyone else. Y'all are pretty impressive with what y'all are posting pic wise. Some of the kits done here are real works of art. I'll post some pictures later today of my progress so far. For those of you who are finished, let me know and I'll start making the changes to the roster. same also if you're going to be doing a second or third kit.

                        Okay, here's my MiG 15.



                        this is the old Monogram MiG 15 that I picked up lately on e-bay. Altogether a really good build.I've used very little filler on her and the fit is quite excellent considering that this kit was made in the late 70s.

                        BTW, The wings have since been attached and I'll start the foiling job probably tonight.

                        just about there....... my only issue with it is one side of the tracks has a bit more sag than the other.... just a little more to do, about 95 per cent done.

                        Good looking builds everyone!
                        Well, I've got the B-36 started and so far I've got a bunch of sub-assemblies glued together. These are the wings, engine pods, tail planes, bomb bay and all the interior fittings. This thing is going to be ridiculous! I may have to move my hobby shop out into the main living area just so I'll have enough room to work on it.

                        Hi all,

                        I've made a little progress on my Lightning, in between other builds. I've removed the blanking pieces for the intake and jet pipes, as these are not set far enough in, and look terrible. I've started some work on the conversion from F6 to F2A.Once I've done this, I'll start the cockpit. It's not really worth a photo yet though.
                        Cheers

                        Started my foiling the other night and now have both wings covered. Having isses with wrinkling, but hopefully they won't be really noticable.

                        wow. you cover those with foil? I'd end up having it look like a junk heap with a cockpit if I tried that.
