Hi all!

Here is the kit I plan to build for the "teeth" Campaign: Harrier Gr. 7 from Italeri, 1/72.





The decal:

Thanks Jean-Luc,I will upload some pics in the gallery.having a good time so far with my airplanes looks like a fun build Cristiane,always have liked the looks of a Harrier.

greetings jeroen,.

Hi Cristiane!

Welcome aboard!

Nice to have someone from Brazil for this campaign! I like your choice and the design of the teeth. Looking forward to see some progress pictures...

Jean-Luc

Hi All

I'm building a 1/72 USAF F-4E from the 52TFW. I am a newbie when it comes to intermediate and advanced level modelling, so will be practicing my skills on an old, cheap, 2nd hand Revell Thunderbird kit before committing to one of the expensive Hasegawa ones. Don't worry I am taking this seriously though.

I bought the Hasegawa kit as well as a Tamiya F-4G with the intention of doing a SAM Hunter/Killer pair after reading an article on the same in some old "Take Off" magazine I have. The F-4G is waiting for the "Wild Weasel" campaign before it can take its place beside the F-4E.

They're both gonna be all over Euro 1 with the shark mouth.

[quote]Hi all,

Trying to hunt down if any US F-100 ever sported sharks teeth. That is what I would like to build for the camapign. Photo evidence is not encouraging at this time.

Sincerely,

Brian


Mate,

Don't know if it's too late but I remembered seeing an F-100 with teeth in one of my old magazine sets so I went hunting.... It's scanned in my galleries for you viewing pleasure. Hope it helps. Wizard

Hi Wizard179!

Welcome on Armorama!

Beginner, intermediate, advanced, rivet counter etc... no problem! Everyone can participate... as long as you have fun! You can post in-progress pictures and ask all the questions you want! You will get an answer!
Thanks also for the F-100 picture... someone will be happy!
Looking forward to see some pictures soon!

Jean-Luc

just an update from me. i have made some progress. the hawk is painted, decaled, and was given a couple of washes.





more from me soon i hope.

Hi Wizard,

Thank you for the photo! Shark mouth F-100's in USAF Service are rare indeed. I did find one in natural metal that served in Vietnam (Pahokee Tiger) A nice color plate is shown in the Squadron F-100 in action book. It also stated by 1970 all aircraft were repainted in SEA Camo. I do not know if the sharks mouth survived or not. Maybe some artistic interpetation is called for.

With your info I have another direction to look at. Interesting thing about your picture that F-100 has the exhaust cone of an F-102 which the "In Action" book mentioned was a common replacement especially on National Guard F-100's.

The only other shark mouths that existed were on some French F-100's but the decals are special order (translated it may be months before they arrive) "Sorry Jean-Luc"

I'm leaning toward the Air National Guard (ANG) version. The natural metal one looks really neat but the only decals available for it are from the old ESCI kit of the F-100 which has been out of production for years. Found one on ebay I'm keeping an eye on it but it could go for unreasonable price.

Thank you again everyone for your help on this and not to worry an F-100 will appear one way or another!

Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Brian!

Can you tell me the refs of the decals? I'm going to my LHS in Metz tomorrow and they have some aftermarket decals. Maybe with a little luck...

Jean-Luc

Hi Jean-Luc,

That's really nice of you to check on my behalf. The decal set is;
Carpena 1/48 DC48009 F-100D Super Sabres USAF & French Air Forces

Thanks again and enjoy your trip to the store!

Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Brian!

It's noted...

Jean-Luc

Here is my completed 1/48 Academy P-40C Tomahawk.
Had fun building this one. I love the sharks mouth on almost anything. I lost all the in-process pics when I lent my camera to the kids, sorry.
Any comments are welcomed.






This kit was built OOB, with the exception of photo-etch belts, drilled out exhaust and aftermarket decals. I still have one in the stash that I want to build as a pearl harbor P-40.
I hope you guys like it.
Cheers

Ted, My pictures have been sent to you!

My A-7E Corsair II represents VA-93 "Ravens" assigned to USS Midway in 1983. The squadron was decommissioned in 1987.

Hi all!

Brian, I checked at my LHS and they didn´t have the decals in stock. The shopkeeper said it would take about a month to get the decals if he orders them. Tell me if I should get them for you. Bad luck for you but good luck for me as I found a Carpena reference that is perfect for the project I´m currently working on!
Ted, well done! I´ll keep a ribbon for you!
AJ, I received your pictures from Afghanistan! They will travel through France to end up here at Armorama tomorrow! My DSL connection is still down and I will use my work PC!
Six participants have finished their models so far:
- CPT Kelley (P-40 E)
- Lampie (P-40 E)
- Diablo (F6F Hellcat)
- TedMamere (T-6 Texan)
- Klimmer (P-40 C)
- Darktrooper (A-7E Corsair)

I hope we can see more soon!

Jean-Luc

greetings jeroen,.

Oh man what a beautifull work there is in this thread!

I really need to join one of these aircraft campaigns once and build an aircraft again...the subject I started with in this hobby! (my first kit ever AH-64D)

Martin

your more then welcome to join this campaign Martin

greetings jeroen,.

i am finished. thanks for letting me do this. i am really thrilled with the results this time.

again the academy 1/48 p-40c






joe

Hi Jean-Luc,

Thank you for checking on those F-100 decals. I think my best bet is to get started right away on something else as I'm also singed up for some other builds that all end at the same time

I have a P-40E on hand that is looking prety lonely and would be a quick build. That's my new plan the official entry will be a P-40E and If I can manage I will try to complete the F-100 as a second entry.

Thanks again Jean-Luc for helping out.

Brian

Hi all.
These completed models are looking pretty spectacular!
Im finding the way that people are finishing the same kit very interesting.All the subtle differences that make each one individual.
As I expected its looking a little bit like a P40 Campaign,and Im looking forward to seeing some of the more unusual subjects finished.
I wonder if the people at Hasegawa have noticed a surge in demand for the P40 since Jan 1st?

Question for Jean-Luc.
Ive noticed that campaign ribbons are only displayed on a members profile page.Is it possible to get this changed so your ribbons appear in a members "callsign box",the one that displays number of posts,rank etc?

Hi all!

I'm happy and honored to present you Darktrooper's entry for the "Show Your Teeth" Campaign. The pictures arrived from Afghanistan to Armorama via France! Isn't that great!







Thanks AJ! That's a great addition to the Campaign!

Nigel, ribbons can't be placed on your callsign box unless you design your own banner for them...
Brian, should I order the Carpena F-100 decals anyway?

Jean-Luc

WHOOHOO, an entry thats not a P-40 :-) :-) .
Nice one A.J, the first finished jet entry.
My Sabre still about a week from finishing as i encountered a slight hiccup, i to wait for my Alclad 2 Polished aluminium to arrive.
Andy (++)

Darktrooper, nice build man!
You may want to be a little more carefull with the hobby knife next time though. That's a hell of alot of blood on your workbench! Have a and see the medic. And let me say thank you for your service to our country.

Six participants have finished their models so far:
- CPT Kelley (P-40 E)
- Lampie (P-40 E)
- Diablo (F6F Hellcat)
- TedMamere (T-6 Texan)
- Klimmer (P-40 C)
- Darktrooper (A-7E Corsair)

I hope we can see more soon!

Jean-Luc

Hey Jean-Luc, I know my P-40 had some problems but is it so ugly that I don't get credit for building it?

VonCuda

Ok here is my entry for this wonderful build. Not my best work, but this one fought me tooth and nail.

It was a great kit. I just got impatient with it. I will revisit this kit again. To get better results.

Hey Hermon, THats isn't my workbench thats the Airconditioning unit outside of my b-hut. and some knucklehead spilled red paint on it.

Thanks guys for the compliments!

Here's a hint to someone that wants to build a jet for this campaign, the A-10 Thunderbolt II!!!!!!!!!
