All:
I got my 1/48 Tamiya Razorback done this weekend. As I was taking pictures outside, a gust from the remnants of Rita picked up the cardboard background and it all hit the deck! Thankfully, I was able to quickly repair the resulting slight damage, as you can see in the following pictures.

I've not done any weathering on this one - maybe later...

Joe, you can update the master list now!

All, it's been fun, and I'm glad to have this done BEFORE the deadline - a first for me!

Dave On the bench: 1/48 F-105D - a bird my friend's dad was shot down in - and survived.

Gees... I just finish commenting on one build and in the time it took me to post up pops another one!

Looking good skarpotchi! Thumbs Up [tup]

Thanks for getting a close up of that engine. It looks great !

As for my progress I put a primer coat on the seams today. Not particularily happy with them but would likely do more damage than good if I tried to fix them at this point. I'll finish painting the underside and then mask the canopy pieces. Looking at the ball turret and upper turret I think I might be better off painting those by hand. Those tiny slivers will be hard to mask. I'm also still waiting for some decals to arrive for it that I ordered some time ago!!! Disapprove [V]

I hate waiting!! Like Rick I'll be pushing the deadline a bit.

Looking good Rick! Thats a nice smooth looking paint job. Funny but without any of the details on at this point it is really hard to guess what scale it is (if you hadn't told us).

Making some progress on my 1/32 Hasegawa Frank. I'm doing this as a Special Attack aircraft of 57 Shinbu-Tai. Some references show these Franks to be painted black, but most researchers agree that they were painted a very dark brown drab. Some witness accounts describe the color as dark chocolate. An exact color is unknown, so I opted to use ModelMaster Burnt Umber over IJA grey. At least it matches the two color profiles I have Smile [:)]

. Enough gab, here's the pics.

It's gonna be close, but I think I'll finish by the deadline. Better late than never.

Regards, Rick

Skarpotchi Love those Maachi's and the camo job on yours looks great. Any chance of getting a closer look at that engine on your next round of photos?

oh ya... upadate on the B-17. Getting lots of time to work on it this weekend so I still hope to make the deadline. Tongue [:P]

Jon,

I know what you are going through as I am a retired 31 year Air Force member and have done many times just what you are doing now. When you get a chance to finish your bird there will probably be another group build you can enter it in. Good luck with the ORI.

Skarpotchi - neat looking Macchi.

I must unfortunately withdraw from this GB. I've been really busy at work (USAF) since we have no manning, I've been pulling over 80 hour workweeks for the last 1.5 months, and dealing with an impending ORI (big inspection). My days off are consumed by appointments, and I barely have any time with my wife. I knew I was in trouble when I went to the LHS to buy paints for the Me 262, and found myself dreading the task of finding time to do a good job on the aircraft and meet the deadline.

Gah, I hate quitting at anything, but the job and family come first. Sorry ladies and gents. Disapprove [V]

Dang, and I really liked the GB badge too! Clown [:o)]

Thanks for the compliments gents they are very much appriciated. And the MC-202 that Skarpotchi is doing is coming along and it looks great! Now I have to finish my fiancee's 1/144 Space Shuttle, (she's a science teacher and needs it for next months section on space). Then I can get moving on my 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-21in BMF for the Planes of the Red Star GB and my F-8E for the ARC GB.
This was a fun GB and I have plenty more to look forward to.

A6EFAN-----------> I must say she is beautiful. You should be very happy.

As for myself I managed to get some painting done. The MC-202 is still a ways off from finished but heres some progress pix.
