Here I go again.....

Count me in, although WW2 is not my usual scene this might be a good time to try out a kit or 2. Hence I'm not sure what I'll be building, will have to shop around first.

Alright then. If I don't join in, my brother will never let me hear the end of it.
Unfortunately, I am still somewhat undecided about which kit(s) to embark upon.

The final suspect(s) will be one or more of the following:

Tamiya Bf 109E-4/7 Trop
Hasegawa He 111H-6
Fine Molds Me 410A-1

However, I suspect I might have to update my final list closer to the start date, as I feel a bit of a shopping spree coming on. I suddenly seem to be missing a Spitfire Mk.IX, a Ju 88, Ju 87, etc., etc.

John and Jon, long time no see! Now, PakNick, I don't usually do WW2 but I've been itchin' to do the P-47D of Capt. Boreslaw Gladych, "PengieIV". So, put me down for Academy's 1/72 P-47D Bubbletop w/ Techmod decals. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze this one in among all my other GBs!

Now I am ready to close up the patient. The inside of the fuselage is finished and the everything seems to fit well so far. Did have a couple of minor fit problems inside the fuselage but it was easily corrected. Here is what Stuka looks like now. With the first photo is an overall view, the second is the gunners compartment and the final is the pit.

An update on the gunners seat. I found a drawing of the seat belt assembly and used spare belt parts to build it up.

Is it too late to join this Build?

I've got a Hasa Me109 G10, which I started on a couple of months back and which ground to a halt. I've not even painted the cockpit yet!

Richard The Stuka pit looks great.

Ya'll might want to check here:

http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=45335

For whatever reason the build took on a life of it's own in the aircraft forum and never migrated to the GB forum.

Building Now:

1/48 Academy Bf-109G6 - 100%

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A - 5%

Upcoming:

1/48 Revell F-14D

Hey all. All of the builds at this time look great. As for me I have had no time for builds. I am trying to find a new job and all. That is taking all of my time. Will check back soon.
