I did a little work to the Thunderbolt and I keep thinking as to how I'm going to finish it. The RAF SEAC decal option is starting to grow on me. Instructions say dark green on ocean grey but I think its suposed to be dark green on Dark Earth. What do you think?

Pretty much indicated Dark Earth and Dark Green or Olive Drab.

On Ed's bench, ???
A little more Jug progress.
There's just something about a Republic aircraft.
A lot of something.
Its easy to see that this thing is the grandfather of the F105.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
stikpusher Yes somebody did a build like that recently... but I can't remember where I saw it on here...

thats me with a DO17Z . We were visited by Irma here in Central Fl and still without power and a sketchy internet service. As an old Miami boy who has been thru hurricanes since 1965, this one made Andrew look like a sissy.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

I could swear it was a Spit or a 109... a single engine fighter is the one that comes to mind...
glad to hear that you made it thru fine.... my son is up at Moody AFB not too far north of the Florida panhandle and he had no problems there with Irma... aside from having to eat MREs... the horror!!! LMAO!!!!
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

68, a camo scheme always looks attractive on a Jug... and you rarely see Brit P-47s built, let alone a SEAC Brit P-47....
Roster has been updated...
I'm in luck also cause the old kit decals look to be in great shape.
While I'm working on the P-40, I'm going to start the 57.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Going all stock on the 57 PJ?
I did some more Phantom today.
mississippivolThose putty spots look familiar, lol!
On just about any F-4 build...
Hey, I didn't realize that it was the old Revell kit! Good times, got one on my built shelf, too.
Nothing like vintage mid 60s model kits!
Someone was building a bearcat in this GB. I have never cared much for F8F's; however, I had never really seen a real one either. Last weekend I was a Willow Run airport in MI and saw this guy. Thought I would post it here for some inspiration!
On the Bench: Too Much

Couldn't agree more! There something about EIGHT .50's too :-)

Very cool! I picked my first car kit about 6 weeks ago -- 67 AMT Impala. I'm so tired sometimes of painting stuff drab colors abd flat coating. This could be addicting...
68GT A little more Jug progress.
68GT, Now this is just what I need to re-energize myself for my P-47 build. Personally I can't do a RAF T-bolt. I have to have a wavy demarcation line for the underside color :-)
See you at the finish line!
Looks like this GB is hitting it's stride. Lot's of great work going on. Been working on my fw190 lately. Was going to post some pictures, but I am runing out of disc space which is causing my laptop to crawl at a snails pace so I am moving a ton of image files to my external HD. Then I'll Defrag and be back in business!
Boy, everyone's getting a lot more work done than me. Looking good, all. I did make some progress:
Got the lower half of the wing on. Don't know if it was just my copy, or if they all are that way, but the front of the wing was concave where it meets the fuselage, Should be a nice flat butt joint. Did a little sanding and added some strip styrene before installing which left it a bit closer.

A little more styrene, some putty, and some sanding and it is good to go. Looks smoother in person than what it does in the picture.

Notice the 1960 copyright stamp. The tooling is older than I am!

My wife wants me to paint it Champagne. I'm not sure that will go well with chrome.
Now all the best looking Bel Airs I ever saw were a light blue or aqua with white trim areas...

I've always been fond of the bright red over white. Or black

Okay, after so many delays, I finally got to get started on this. Here are my models from Accurate Miniatures of a P-40 and P-51B for this Monogram Mafia Group Build. These are simple models originally from Monogram; I know because there was engraving on the inside of the wings saying Copyright Monogram and the year! Here is the P-40 started; I had painted the interior and added the pilot (since there was no cockpit at all!) and then I closed it up and added the canopy:After that I moved on to the propeller and cowl and assembled all that while the rest was drying:Then I assembled the wings to have all the sub assemblies done and ready to assemble when everything was dry:Since I could go no further on this and since I'm supposed to do two Monogram models for this Group Build in order to be 'Made' in the Monogram Mafia; I also pulled out the P-51B that came in the same kit. I got the interior painted and the fuselage all closed up before I remembered to shoot a pic:Later on I assembled the wings and dry-fit them to the model:
That's all I have so far. Stay tuned, there's more to come.
Thanks for looking in.
Definitely black, with a red interior. Classic.
Made some progress on the tomcat. Cut my own stencils with my silohoutte cutter machine since I watched the applicable decals dissenigrate.
Those cutting machines come in handy don't they?
Those look great B1!
Here is where I am at on the 190. About to put the wing's together and attache to fuselage
