My solution to the raised panel lines is to leave them alone until after all the painting is done.  Then take a soft grafite pencil and holding is sideways, lightly drag it down the length of the line.  This leaves the line darker than the surrounding area and creates the same effect as dark paint in a recessed line.  If you sand off part of a line when fixing a seam, just run an X-Acto blade along where the line was before.  This will create a ridge that will show up the same as the original line.

Hi Will, I was wondering if I could join in on this GB. If so I have an !/48 Monogram F-8 Cruisader that has been in my stash for ever waiting to be built.

Steve

The box has been opened!

I'll be doing the same scheme as the box art.

I'm in! May be a little while before I start building though. I need to narrow down what I want to build. Feb '08 is good though! Plenty of time.

It'll either be a Skyraider, F-104C, F-100F, F-100, or an F-105D or G. I got all of them in the stash, just need to decide which one! You can put me down for TBD.

I understand he's locked up now, for his wrong doings, but back in the 60's he was a hero jet ace, and thats how I intend to remember him. If you are going to do the Revellgram F-4J dont use the office it comes with, its actually detailed as the office of the F-4E. Pick up Legend Productions F-4J 1/48 cockpit detail set for Monogram F-4J, it's a resin detail set that acurately details the front and back offices of the F-4J Just an FYI, Air Master

Thanks, but I'm just going to go OOB with this one.

The pit is not a thing I spend alot of time or interest on.

'One item' is one item that you purchase or have purchased, like an eduard PE set, or resin cockpit set.

Hi all, Interested in coming aboard -- I've a range of possibilities, I've always fancied a Starfighter in cammo, though the RM A-37 would be an interesting build, and the RG ex-Hasegawa F-4E is really begging me to build it... Can't decide now! Cheers, TB379

Hurry up and make a decision!!

Hello There

Count me in, with a 1/35 UH-1D/H

LOL MortarMagnet.

I'm not trying to out do you. I just love the 105. It's one of my favourite AC and I'm torn between doing a killer job on this less than perfrect kit or doing it OOB and then having an excuse for the Trumpeter 32nd 105.

It's only the fact that the Trumpeter kit is bigger than my house that is really stopping me doing anything about it.

By the time I put all the stuff on the revell version that I want. I could probably buy the trumpy kit anyway and have change for the 16 tins of paint it'll take to cover it.

If you've seen my F-111 I'm doing for my dad, you'll probably understand that I'm a liitle over scratch building at the moment.

I'll be doing Arkansas Traveler too. I love the WWII victory marks under on the fuselage.

It's a good thing Panzerwulff is doing the Jolly Green as a LOT of 105 pilots really needed those guys.

Cheers.

Mark

Mark, are you already trying to upstage my 105?????  I tease. Don't worry, I haven't finished construction on an aircraft in a long time. 

I think that counts as one AM piece.

Hey Will.

When you say AM is limited to one item, is a resin cockpit set an item or many items?

I'm not trying to be funny or anything I'm seriously asking as if I decide to re-scribe this beast then I'll want to replace the pathetic cockpit.

It doesn't matter which answer you give as

Yes= cool cockpit and rescribed model

No = Dodgy stock pit but lots of work saved on the scribing.

It's win win.

Cheers

Mark

Nice to see this get off the ground, if you'll excuse the pun!

I'll have a crack at the Italeri 1/72 B-57 Canberra, OOB. Might blink on the AM decals if the originals are sucky

MortarMagnet in, AaronW in, to the GB. Mortar Magnet, 1/48 i'm assuming??

Will

I'll be doing the little helicopter with "Blades of Wood" flown by "Men of Steel"

Testors 1/32 HH-43 Huskie with the Cobra Company detail set.
