Nice work Michal !
A very realistic biplane. How did you do the woodgrain on the prop ? It looks amazing !!
Cheers

Thanks a lot Paul. The prop is nothing special. First I painted it with some light shade of Lifecolor acrylic. Then I masked with the think stripes of paper tape and painted the darker shade with another Lifecolor paint. When dried I gently polished the prop using a cotton swab and painted with some acrylic artystic paint. I applied a lot of thick paint first and started to removing the paint with a wet broad brush. The most important thing is to keep the brush clear and lightly wet. When finished I covered the whole prop with Future. As you see, nothing special. It took me less than one hour to do this propeller.

Michal: great looking build! Very nice wood work affect.
Jon: Looking forward to seeing the decals on that panther.
Progress photos of the Revell Cromwell.
Finished all of the build I wanted to do before priming last night.
Very nice little kit with few real issues. Added a brass barrel,antenna's, drilled out the mg's, put 4 copper grab handles on the rear deck and added some wiring for the turret spot light.
And undercoated today.
Will brush on first coat of paint tomorrow.

Finished this little bugger, had problems with fit, accuracy, primer and my air brush died on me. But, after all this using Vallejo, Tamyia & Gamesworkshop paints finished the FT-17 it came together.
Not 100% happy with it, but it is done.

Finished. Quickest build I've ever done! Hope it doesn't show to much.
Got Bison Decals on last night, this afternoon sprayed a coat of matt varnish on and then did a rush weathering job.
Apologies for the porr quality photos, had to take pictures inside tonight.
Jon: Nice looking Panther, interesting markings!
Roman: Great looking TK and Dio.
Thanks for the campaign Paul, always had a great interest in WWII Polish units and enjoyed the build.
Cheers,
Tim

And (probably) last, my version of the Mirage wz. 34 Armored Car.
Hey Paul, Everybody, Some really nice builds in this campaign. I was up 'till 1 AM last night (this morning) looking at everybodies stuff.
I claim a major move as to why I couldn't participate as much. Thankfully, this didn't suffer any damage and I found it (relatively) easily.
Great idea for a campaign Paul. If you're ready for White Eagle 2 I have a stack of RPM TK's waiting.
Thanks,
Charlie

Many thanks Paul for running this Campaign and your command.
Many builds in this thread are very inspiring for me and I hope to get at least few ideas that emerged in my head during this campaign on to the workbench projects
