The In My Stash GB

Yeah, good point Arki!
I can't imagine a reason why the fins should be that large on the AA-9s.

Thanks for trying Bear.

Lord Kenny I am ready for the stash build two!!!!!  YIPPEEE

well here are some update pics got the flight deck on and trying to take care of the gaps now

front gap filled and sanded now onto the rear deck

Looks really good kenny.  Looks BIG!  Just my sorta thing.  You think you could put some thing in there for scale so we can see just how big?  You know... a paint bottle, a pop can, a toyota?  just something for scale.

 I have been working on my JU 87 with the unique mounting.  So far I have managed to sucessfull mount a 1/8th steel rod through the wing mounts and out the tip of the wing with minimal impact to the wing.  The second rod to support the elevator is just going to be painted the same color as the underside of the aircraft.  Not enough room to hide it inside the wing.

i will add something in for scale rmv

thanks razor

i just threw a little primer over the putty to see how the gap looked and i still have to knock it down some to be even so once the primer dries back to sanding

here is an older pic this i think is a good way to show scale at this point my son was just under 3 ft tall but i will take a new scale pic besides this one

Kenny,

where are you going to put that when you're finished? I like to make helicopters, but the blades make them larger than they really are - if that makes sense, and I have enough problem with that. Heaven knows what I would do with a 3 foot long aircraft carrier! 

I sprayed the darker areas on the Moskito using card cut outs. It looked terrible! So I've just finished painting over it all again. So the progress for the last 2 weeks has been the painting of some of the small bits to go on at the end - should that ever happen! I've scanned the painting guide so I could create a template to lay over the whole model to spray through. Looking at my reference books though and I can see a couple of camouflage patterns, neither of which are the one in the painting guide. I guess I will make a couple of templates and probably go with the more authentic one.

I'm really trying to get it finished before the end of the year, but is there an award for finishing IMS08 before IMS07??

Wow, Kenny.
I used to really want to make an aircraft carrier, but now...  I'm not so sure!
I'm glad to see you're making progress.  Think the painting will be easy?

LOL, so I completely finished the Mig-31 tonight, only to bust off the pitot
tube and then loose it in the carpet.  Tommorrow I will fabricate a replacement
and then take some photos for you guys.

Kenny  great progress, that's one big boat as mentioned before were are you going to put it

Sir IL2 0 Carpet Monster 1    Sorry could'nt help it.  That's to bad to be finished and then the dreaded Ooops.  Looking fwd to the finished build.

Cheers

Bear

thanks guys

i think it wont be to bad to paint sir IL the flight deck will be the hardest.

as to where i am gonna put it guys , ionce the build is over i am gonna sell it to the highest bidder j/k trying to get a new cabinet for the living room cause i have a few big builds coming up and i need more space that is if the mrs. lets me

mist great job on your build she looks awsome cant wait to see her finished

Mist Looks good, keep it up.

Cheers

Bear

Watch out B-52s! There's a MiG-31 on patrol.

Done, at long last.
I am so glad this kit was chosen for the group build, because
I know for certain I never would have finished it otherwise.
The many struggles with this kit taught me a whole host of
new skills.  Now I'm looking forward to what I will learn @ IMS2!

I posted the rest of the pictures in the aircraft forum, here:

Heya Mist, your B-25 is looking very nice. 
I commend you for taking the time to detail the interior so well.

Sir IL2 that's one great looking Mig, you did a great job on what seams to be a very kit .

Cheers

Bear

Great job on the Mig-31, IL.  All the effort most definitely paid off as it's a great build

Another complete!

Thanks, Gents.
I hope you all noticed the shamless plug for IMS2 in my MiG-31
thread in the aircraft forum.  Doesn't that qualify me for some
sort of medal, Kenny?  LOL

As I built this MiG-31, I kept drawing parallels between the archaic
technology by which the real-life Mig-31 was built, and the crudeness
of the ICM kit.  It seemed somewhat appropriate, I amusingly thought.
I guess that there are places on the real MiG-31 where you can find
ugly weld seams and lap-joints.  Like it was a cargo ship or something.
