I have been watching this Build for awhile, and I have to say this is interesting. It's too bad that it is only for aircraft though.
I just got a new Revell Graf Zeppelin German Aircraft carrier. I plan on converting it to show "what if..." the Russians had kept it and developed it into a carrier before the Kievs came along instead of using it as a torpedo target. What would it look like? I already have the Yaks and Kamovs for it, and I may even add some MiG 29's and Sukhois to it from the Trumpeter sets once I get the ski jump on it.

Still, I like what I see. I can't wait to see the A-10 in the Desert camo, and there's something fundamentally wrong about seeing 'meatballs' on a Corsair! Shock [:O]

Looks fantastic though Panzerwulf! Keep up the great work!

Duke,

Get yourself a cheap plane kit and join the madness. Plenty of room!

Allright....finally decided on what to do and started. I'm going with idea #1. I'm going to redesign a paint scheme. I'll post progress along the way.

Jaypack, you gonna get in on this one? Let me know.....

Hey there PanzerWulff!

First off, here's to a quicky and pain-free (as much as possible) recovery.

You may not be able to sit up to model, but, I am sure you can get caught up on your movie watching and research via the Interent & books. Smile [:)]

The Corsair is looking good. Seems odd to see the 'meatball' on it. But, that is the whole idea behind this build! Smile [:)]

I have started my Stuka, and have the Me-262 ready to start. As I get something more to show in way of progress, I'll post some photos.

Looks sharp Panzerwullf! What color is the top half? Is that black? I also like the prop change-up. Great job...

the upper surface is straight out o the bottle model master IJN green, it is rather dark and so glossy that it looks black in almost every photo. I hope that the final flat coat kills the shine enough to see the green, the weathering might help bring it out as well. I decided to leave the cowling loose as it fits quite snugly so that I can expose the engine as I wish the prop stays on with a poly cap so popping it off & on is no problem Big Smile [:D]

I'm still on the mend (turns out I cracked 2 of my ribs instead of just bruising them) so my modeling has been a little slow but most of my decaling is done and i need to install the canopy before weathering

Is it okay to enter an already finished model? I have AMT's Tigercat already built and painted as an upgraded version, with napalm tanks, wingtip fuel tanks, 6 rockets, a JDAM and laser-designator. I hope I can use that, otherwise I'l mod my PZL P.24C. Thanks in advance.

Hey wulf.
Can I get in on this GB? I'm working on this secret weapon that would be perfect for this build. I just finished the planning stage of the project and I'm getting ready to start cutting styrene! This thing will blow you away! I know the build ends in November but I should be done by then. OK?
