I finished mine over the weekend and should be able to photograph it tonight. I built the "Stinger Launcher" from the Italeri Stinger HMMWV. Since I was unable to find any proof that it actually existed I built it without the Humvee as more of a Sci-fi build.

Ok, here are the photos:







Since I don't know how or where I intend to put it I haven't done a final weathering on it. I may mount it on a base or in the back of a truck still.

I wired the missle tubes, lift motor and controls. I also modified the lifting cylinder at the rear to aim the unit skyward as the OOB had the launch tubes parallel to the ground.

These are my entries. (Some weathering is still due.)
Small ones, but I got 2 of them
(I really enjoyed building them. Somehow I got hooked on small 1/35 kits and 1/72 tanks... Fast, uncomplicated, and don't take much space on my shelves...)
Any comments are welcome.

SAM 6 Rockets and Missiles.
Finally done. Been a very busy year but here it is. A real fun build.




Sorry about the quality of the photos. I seem to have problems getting as good a picture as others.
Thanks for the campaign.

Cool looking SAM-6. Is it the Trumpeter kit? Would you recommend it, was it good? (Being a follower of Russian vehicles, it made me drool, eheh)

Very straightforward build. No nasties.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Must get myself from one of those at some available time if it's a no hassle kit.

I just finished my B-Wing for this campaign. Lots of errors especially around the cockpit and the canopy, but I could do this much for such a bad easy-snap kit. Pre-shaded, painted, postshaded with enamels, washed with inks. The circles are masked and painted. These are the pictures:









Hope you enjoy.
Best regards.

Hi Jim,

When the campaign started everything was perfect. Since then I've moved job and Country (in November) so I'm in the same position as Paul. I'm away from home and I can't post pics of my Bloodhound Missile till at least Wednesday.

Would it be possible to get a few days grace? Pleeeeeease?

Sure, no prob. How about Next Sinday to give everyone a non-holiday weekend to finish up.

It’s more important that everyone who participated be included in the finish.

To everyone who has already posted – Congrat’s – many, many fine builds.

And here it is; the Lend&Lease Katyusha (more pic's in gallery).
Its a mixup with Zevzda's Katyusha and Italeri's (GMC) 'deuce and a half' 6x6 truck chasis.

Hi all!

My Bloodhound AA Missile is finally finished.

I began it a few months ago in Germany and finished it in Scotland. Moving house is one thing... Moving countries (yet again) is something else.

So here goes:

Airfix 1/72 Bristol Bloodhound Anti Aircraft Missile

The model is built practically OOB but I have replaced the basic kit ignition cable with solder and added an ignition box. The grass is model railway grass with a circle cut out and pasted over 600 grit wet and dry with some compass lines sprayed on to make it less boring.

This was a nice kit to build and sometime soon when I get more time I intend to scratch one in 1/35.

Comments welcome.

Looks like that's it. The fat lady has sung...


I hope everyone enjoyed the campaign. Lots of good work and my congrats to all.

And to finish it off... My (very dirty) Soviet SS-12 and MAZ transporter.






Cheers,
NEO
