Great work everyone, as always. Greg, I really like your factory dio. I just finished reading Beevor's Stalingrad and it looks the part to me. I wouldn't want to be the guy with the tank gun pointed at...

Since I'll be away for the rest of the month, I decided to call my Demag done for the purpose of this campaign. Since last time I added the windows, a flat clear coat and a burnt umber wash. All else, including stowage and further weathering will be added for the diorama together with the Jeep of last campaign.






Thanks for another great campaign!
Cheers!
Stefan

Irvin - only 2 weeks left. Get that plane in the air!!!


Stefan - I think you've done great with a well camo'd and weathered Demag. I like the pe work and it clearly adds needed detail to this kit that shows even when all painted up. Congrats!

I have built an AB-43 Polizia, started on the 4th of May.


I have used gloss black as primer, then painted with red, and washed with German black.

Some nice builds here guys....

Interesting colour Burak....not exactly low profile on the battlefield!

To One and All,
Excellent efforts by all.
Stefan - your Demag came out very nicely.
Greg - The Stalingrad Dio is top-notch - like the rest of your work over the last campaigns. Also your 'off-the-cuff' Jagdpanther. Much faster than I am with mine...

The BA-10, Sherman 105 dio, KV-1, the A-4 and the other 'wingy-thingy's' - wow, some truly outstanding work here. This shows that 1/48 is truly the 'universal modeling scale', well, except for the ship folks...

Here are some in progress shots of my Jagdpanther roughly halfway completed. The main 'bothersome' parts completed. The tracks, suspension and the attachment of the upper and lower hulls. The engineering of these Tamiya 1/48 always astounds me. A virtual perfect fit. A little overspray of yellow on the tracks to fix...(sigh)





Trying to complete this kit before the end. I can finally really work on the model, so life is good!

keep up the excellent work all,
Stephen (minas-ithil)

Fuman 1/48 SchwimmWagen finished.

Wow, talk about great updates since I last checked in!

Greg & Chris, both fantastic dios.

Chris, I was able to visit Normandie, France this past summer, and your dio really captured the look of that area.

Burak, that's one great lookiing AB41. I've built that one, but not in the flaming red color.

Lap, nice Schwimwagen, I built the fuman one also (reboxed a frog). It's not as nicely detailed as the Tamiya one of course considering its age,but holds up surprisingly well.

Thank you fellas.
Waikong having a fellow modeler who's been there say it looks right feels good,much appreciated.
This is my first group build and i have to say i really enjoyed the interaction and workmanship of fellow modelers. great work everybody!
happy modeling!

Burak. Nice to see you back here. I really like the turret details on your police armored car.

Stephen. The tracks are done in a nice color. You can finish

Eman. Thats a fast schwim. Nice job

Waikong. Thanks

I haven't gave up!



Decided to go with a camo scheme like on the box so I put the underlying color down, and tomorrow I'll seal it for the other colors.

@Burak

Nice colours, I like it !!!

@Jeff

What scale are those tanks just behind the missile ?

Why they are 1/16... of course! That's just a couple that I have built.



~ Jeff

Big tanks you got there !
Nice progress, bring on the paint Jeff !!

Running out of places for the drying time so that little spot there is the safest.

Hope there's a 1/48 Scale Campaign #4 as I am getting in the mood for an airplane build?

(back to the race)

Really great looking models by the builders in the thread. I am afraid I am out of this one. I looked at the canopy for my Revell AV-8B and there are bubbles that ended up inside it when it was molded so it will not be usable. A replacement is presently unavailable from Revell so I will be ordering a clear tree from the Hasegawa distributor for their AV-8B kit. I guess this will be in a Hanger Queen Campaign at some point.


Best wishes,

Ian

You COULD modify those bubbles into bullet holes?

Jeff that missile is just cool wherever its parked.

Ian. We'll still send you a ribbon. Maybe post a pic with the canopy just laying on it

I completed the Revell CJ Jeep and posted two images in the campaign gallery.

Jeff-------I thought about that but clear plastic is rather difficult to deal with and I figured I would make an already bad problem worse. Your V-2 looks good too.!!!!!


Greg-----I doubt I could make the deadline anyway because after I saw the defect I quit working on it so I already lost a week.

Best wishes,


Ian

Have finished my KV1 Small Turret.

Hi John - great KV. The turret decals really look the part and the weathering. My only suggestion is to have the tow cables glued down next time to show their weight vs. up in the air. Every build is a learning experience. Congrats on a cool KV!!

Congrats also to the CJ jeep in the gallery


Gary Kato. Can we have a 2 week extension on the campaign as someone will be out of town. Thank you

Greg buddy, you mean Nito74 (John Pereira) don't you.



~ Jeff

Extended . 15th July

Thanks Jeff !!
