Ed, great work on the Dauntless. It looks like it's seen a lot of combat!
At the moment here's how mine is looking.
Pennant numbers are on the hull and detail painting of the bits and bobs has started before adding etch and final assembly.
Unfortunately I will have to bow out at this late stage. My grandad passed away last weekend after a long illness so I'm just finding it hard to concentrate on much for the last week.
I will keep everyone up to date here on the build as it slowly finishes.
Anyway, best of luck to all those still working at models.

Went back with a no.78 drill bit and turning it between my fingers I replaced the rivet detail that had been sanded away. After a little more primer I added some Alclad II polished aluminum around the intakes and on the leading edges.
Cheers Rob.

I just realized I bought a set of Modelkasten tracks for my KV-122... the reason why I paused on that build in the first place!
Just forgot I had them. LOL DUH!

You are the crafty one then!
I set it off to the side, started the truck build and forgot it! Oh well... it will get done anyway.
I need to buy more of these track sets because they are so easy to assemble! Plus I got these at an incredible price.
So, am I awarding the ribbons for your Campaign or do I get to do it?

Forgot to post the last WIP
And finished it today...
Didn't add 2 missiles, they needed lots of work to look good.
So added the canopy, the short range AA missiles, 2 gun pods.

YES! My gosh that looks so perfect Rob!
Thanks to all who signed up and saw this thing through! It was a lot of fun!
And thanks to John for letting me run your Campaign idea and for awarding the ribbons too. I could have done that too for you.
Anyone up for a "Get 'er Done" Campaign? I didn't finish mine for this Campaign!
