Tiger stripes and overspray. Oh, so much overspray.

There will be much cleaning up in the future.

Lots of Great work going on here!

I had bought a kit especially for this campaign but sadly will not even be able to start life has left me with little time lately and I am way behind in my campaigns I will have to resign from this one and some others to concentrate on my own campaign and hopefully finish that.

Cheers Rob.

Some very nice aircraft there! Here's the progress on my Coyote so far - so many things to do yet I don't think I'll get 'er done in time. Still - 2 weeks off for Christmas you never know...








Jim

You can finish that easily Jim! You gonna keep those kit tires on it?

Ack, no - have a set of Real Model SLEP's but I need to make new hubs for them still.

Jim

I saw on MCVDG you are gonna sculpt stowage - do you mean all the sensor boxes? As you, this will be a Coyote Recce with the mast retracted?

If so, I have the pam that has the drawings of the stowage. Its actually a decent starting point, if you want them. They are handy as I had them out for someone else

Hi Guys, the Starfighter looks pretty good, really nice. Your Coyote is also cool Jim.
Made some little progress on my Grizzly. I have started applying dirt. I wonder how it comes and i have to hurry a little bit.


First time i use that much of Pigments. It isnt perfect at the moment, but i work on it.

Cheers Christoph

Hi everyone,

Due to holidays / New year's and Member's kind request I extended the deadline from Thursday 2nd January to Friday 31st January.

I hope everyone can make it .

Happy Holidays everyone !

Sounds good John, I'm hoping to see as many people finish as possible. Don't want this campaign to be a flop.

Alex I also posted the changed deadline on Aeroscale.

I'm pretty sure it won't ne a flop.

Well finally finished. What was supposed to be a 4 week build has taken over double that.

For anyone interested in trying 1/72 airfix kits again I can highly recommend this one or any of the new moulded kits.









I am calling this finished for this campaign however will eventually mount it on vignette of a concrete airfield.

Thanks for the campaign

Hi Everybody,
James, Nice work! That is a beautiful piece!
Jessica, You know what they say: "Overspray makes the Heart grow fonder"! or something like that. Looks good anyway and that'll definitely be a stand-out camo job!
Thanks John for the extension!
I actually wanted to build this after finding it in August.

Don't remember how long I've had it but I'm pretty sure it's over 20 years old and I might have picked this up at the PX between 85 and 87. Now all I have to do is find the instructions... where they went I have no idea.
2014: The year of an inventory rotation!

@James - great looking P-51, love to see it with the Red Maple Leaf on it

Managed to get some time in the last couple days. Intensive turret work, added the ballistic covers to the sights (very common on Coyote and LAV-III's home and abroad) and dust cover to 25mm pivot area, both sculpted from Magic Sculp. In a fit of madness found some p.e. 'D' rings so added the straps to the covers from thin lead foil. Added detail to hatches and mounting bosses. Moving right along...
@Graeme - I'll e-mail you as well, but yes, I'd like to see those drawrings!






Jim

Wow!

Jim - nice work on the sculpting. I'll dig around for those drawings. I know I have them in hard copy, I'll look for a pdf.

Not sure anyone would ever notice anyway, but, I had to mess with my gallery photos for this campaign. They needed to be smaller as I was at half capacity with only 7 photos.

All right,
I have re-enlisted and hope to finish this in time.



Cheers Rob.

Here is my completed campaign entry.
Desert Storm CF-18 #776 - 441 SQ 1991

Very nice, Richard. Well done!!

Thank you Ben.
The model is a ESCI moulding ,a little light on correct details and many sink holes!
I had lost the decals a long time ago so I ordered some from Leading Edge which went on well.

Nice Richard!

Got a start on mine.

Cheers Rob.

Here's my progress from this weekend

Sexy, huh!
