Hi Jean-Luc!

I am a new member at the site and saw this campaign today, couldn't resist

I'll be building an Academy 1/72 P-40E with "sharkmouth" and decals from Skymodels. There are no photos yet, but sure will fix some as soon as the build progresses!

Regards,

Peter

Hallo Peter!

Willkommen bei Armorama!

You better be quick, the Campaign ends on June 30th! This leaves you 25 days... nothing impossible though.

Viel Glück!

Jean-Luc

Jean-Luc,
I have to join everyone else in saying a big "Thanks" to you for running a very enjoyable campain. This was my first campain and to say the least not my last.
Thanks again.

Ted

Hi Jean-Luc,

Great job with a great theme!

Beaucoup, beaucoup de mercis sincères !

Fred

I joined late, but I happened to be in the middle of building a Netherlands F-104 with Orpheus Recce Pod and here she is..... teeth and all. Thanks. "Q"

Looks good,

and you do not see Dutch planes that often... any reason why this one in particular?

Thank you for the kind words. I decided to build this one as the scheme just sort of called to me. Nothing really flashy or extreme, I just liked the way it looked. The added bonus was all of the stenciling that came with the ROG/Hasegawa kit. Just about everything there is to be found on the real one was on the sheet. Thanks again. "Q"

ps. Currently doing a US F-104C, Greek "G" with Bullpups, and German Show Bird. Yeah,... I like the 104.

Hi Matthew!

Thanks for adding such a nice and "exotic" F-104 to the list! Congratulations for your fine entry!

Jean-Luc

Hi All

Better late than never....

Ive posted a couple of pic's in the campaign gallery. Here is one to show my teeth



Jean-Luc thanks again for a great campaign, and everyone else thanks for your support, advice and your own inspiring efforts in this campaign.

Cheers

Hi Wiz!

Thanks a lot for adding another (superb!) entry to this Campaign! It's nice to see that some more are still coming in! Congratulations for a fine model. You can be proud of it!

Jean-Luc

So I got my cast off a couple weks ago, and despite having very poor hand strength and dexterity in my left hand (apparently it takes hands a long time to recover from a break in a major bone), I have managed to get some work done on my entry. I am afraid I will still have to rely on my medical extension despite the month extra the campaign has recieved as a whole.

Subassemblies more or less done. Still working on mating the aftermarket nacelles to the kit bulkhead/cooling flaps (slight size and shape difference - just enough to be a bugger). Had some troubles with the nose - am kinda glad i went for an aircraft that had its glazing painted over now. the bad side is show in the photo. the other side is a better mating.

Should have cleaned up the work table a little better before photographing it...

Hi all!

The Campaign will end in 3 days! Is anyone still building for that one? We need four more models to reach the goal of 50 percent of completion!

Come on guys! The battle is not finished until the last drop of glue wasn't versed!

Jean-Luc

Jean-Luc, I too have finally finished.

Revell's 1/48 P-51D kit with Tamiya's F-51D decals. Unfortunately the decals decided to mutiny. A few just disintegrated and the others were very brittle, not even Microscale’s Liquid decal film helped. I had to resort to ‘decal-it’ transfer emulsion to keep the remainder in ‘one’ piece, this negated any use of Micro Sol & Set.
Tamiya’s extra thin cement (NOT RECOMMENDED!!) was used on the shark mouth to get them to at least adhere to some contours, this damaged the colour and one piece of the one mouth, luckily Tamiya’s red is a very close match!

Hi Eric!

Great to see your P-51 finished just in time! Bad news about the decals though... ... but it's nor noticable on the picture! The model looks good!

So we need 3 more today!

Jean-Luc

Thanks for the observations guys. Except for the few that disintegrated the others actually (after treatment) reacted very well, as can be seen in the photos below.

Star & Bars on wing:


This actuator(?) is only 5mm long, a moistened ear-bud helped the decal 'follow the contours'


The decal adheres well to the surface (sprayed silver) contours


This decal (U.S. Air Force) cracked in several places and had to be put in place with a cocktail stick



PS: Not bad photos for a Kodak DX3600!

Hi all!

I joined this campaign rather late, but here is now my entry: It's the P-40 E of Robert Scott, 23rd FG in China, september 1942. The kit is Academy 1/72 with decals from Sky Models and from the kit itself. Still a few stencils left to put on, then a layer of Future and up on the shelf! I want to take the opportunity to thank Jean-Luc for this campaign and I hope I'm still in time. This is my first model built with some more ambition, the first one that I even airbrushed (!) so I am happy about it.

All the best,

Peter

Oops, no photo was added - I try again;

Hi Peter!

It worked! Congratulations!

You could be the last entry for this Campaign, even if I still hope some more will come in the next few hours... and there is still Vance with his "special" extension!

Will we reach the 30 completed models score?

Jean-Luc

ok, my pic is in the gallery. i'm in (by the skin of my teeth)

I'm another one just making it under the wire, just finished this 15 minutes ago....


thanks for a great campaign, my first.
Rob


ok, since I'm really new to this, how do you post pics?

since this didn't work at least I think I've added pics to the gallery
