                        Tanky - If I could I'd like to change my entry for this Group Build to a Tamiya 1/48th P-51D with the Aries Detail set, Eduard PE and Eduard zoom PE.  If I start feeling really froggy I'll go back to my Bf-109G-14.

                         

                        Thanks and Merry Christmas,

                        Matt

                        I havent started on it yet but just by looking at it I see some key instructions that have been left out and if you aren't careful could create a bit of trouble down the road.  I am itching to get started but will have to clear my bench of the two kits and a small hybrid that I am working on at the moment!!

                        the instructions are always bad. but even when you get it right, the fit is worse. airies is horrible. yet i keep using them for their wonderful detail...

                        Well you know that modelers are all gluttons for punishment, otherwise we'd have all given up at the first bad modeling experience!!!  Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]



                        btw - off topic - would you like to include your flanker in the Su-27 GB, I have a feeling that it is going to be a non-starter.

                        i would, but it's already in a GB- err mine. and my own rules prevent me from entering it in yours as well. ahh, irony.

                        Progress report:

                        Fuselage is together with rudder and elevators attached.  I've been sanding and cutting the living Censored [censored] out of the CE resin wheel well, mostly just to remove the casting block. That's about finished and I'm in good shape to have the wings assembled and attached to the fuselage by the beginning of the week. 

                         

                        Building Now:

                        1/48 Academy Bf-109G6 - 100%

                        1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A - 5%

                        Upcoming:

                        I've finally managed to start my Jagdpanther, and I can already tell this build is gonna last a long time.  I've spent about 2 full days now just sanding and cleaning up the inside of the hull, and some of the resin pieces.  I had to cut out the entire roof, and am supposed to replace it with a resin piece which was quite warped, but I've managed to get it somewhat straight.  Hopefully tomorrow I can actually start some assembly , and have some pics of some actual progress up soon.

                        Progress report:  well, not as much as I'd like....I'm decaling a F-16C right now and all the stenciling for just the ordinance has taken longer than the decaling for previous whole WWII aircraft.  Cripes!

                        Wings are on the fuselage and I'm ready to start filling and sanding the imperfections.  Since it's a Hobbycraft kit there are plenty of imperfections to go around.  Strangely enough, the kit includes drop tanks and rockets but doesn't have attachment holes for drilling out indicated in the wing, although the instructions clearly point to the holes.  I've had to guesstimate the locations based on whatever research I could dig up.

                        Since you were nice enough to allow me intot he group I figured it is time for some progress.  As I said, I am also doing this build for ther BoG GB for subject matter and can say I am doing the deatiling for this one.  Flaps, landing and cowl, are finally done.

                        looking good Marc, that is one large Dora! The open cowl flaps is a  really nice touch.

                        Finally, I have a bit of progress to show on my JagdPanther.  I've gotten a good portion of the interior assembled which you can see in the pic.  I've also got the majority of the gun assembly put together as well, which you cant see in the pic here.  All comments / criticism welcome.

                        WOW westcon. I have to tell you, I don't know the first thing about armor, but that looks really good. I imagine with painting and weathering there are tons of opportunities in that open space. I only ask this out of ignorance, how much will you see when it is all together? Does the top stay as something you can remove?
                        Looks good.

                        Thanks for all the comments.  At the moment, I'm trying to decide whether or not to attach the roof, or leave it off so that you can see the interior.  If I do decide to put the roof on though, there are 2 hatches which can be opened on the roof, and another fairly large one at the back which should still provide a fairly good view of the interior.

                        I haven't even started on my P-51 yet, I am going to wait until I am finished with the classes that I am taking right now, not much time between two research papers and work, etc.  Don't you just love it when real life brings your hobby time to an abrupt halt?!!!

                        Any way, have been following the posts here, and have to say that I am seeing some pretty awsome modeling being done, keep up the great work everybody!!!
