Export Model Group Build 2020

the decals are on.

I hope you guys don’t mind me sticking my head in here…

Brandon and Nick: Beautiful work on the Spit and P-47 guys!!!

Griffon: I LOVE that French M24! LOVE that awesome camo!!! [ht]

Man that is looking super sharp in the SEAC colors and markings! Beautiful!

many thanks Gamera and Stikpusher.

Gave the P-47 a pin wash and some weathering.

I have to clean some things off the bench first but I have a Hasegawa 1/48 F-104 with German markings to build.

Crown, your Jug is looking better and better! Whose colors did you use for the topside Dark Earth and Dark Green?

68, I cant wait to see that F-104. Is it going to be Luftwaffe or Marine?

Stikpusher. thanks again. I used AK interactive RAF camo set,(AK 2010) its the second time I use it works good airbrushes free hand well. The paint dryies to a semi gloss, I’m slowly changing to acrylics I really like the clean up.

Nick, thats a cracking looking P-47 there.

Stik, its going to be anniversary luftwaffe. Jg 32

Great work on the Jug there Nick, it is looking very shmick. Nice look with the preshading and the weathering. Can’t wait to see it finished.

68, That looks like a cracker of a scheme.

The Catalina is finished in the colours of TAA.

The Academy kit was basic, but a good base for the scheme. The black plastic took a bit of covering over so the Tamiya spray primer came in useful.

The wing markings were on the small side looking at the references. They are smaller in comparison to the other TAA scheme I did on a Fairey Rotodyne - see photos at the end.

Mach 1, thanks for running the the GB, it is a great subject.

Nice! That’s going to be quite colorful!

Many thanks fellas Im having problems with postimage is down for mantiance I hope these pics show up more to follow but the P-47 is done.

That F-104 with that paint job ! stunning…

Nick, Elaine is a real beauty. Excellent painting and finishing. [Y]

I opened the Eduard box yesterday. Seems like a very nice kit, with nice detail.

Cockpit assembly was started and the armored glass behind the seat was masked off with masking tape

Got started on the Phantom.

Nick,

As the others have said, that’s a great looking Thunderbolt you’ve got there.

Lost,

A most excellent job on the Catalina!

Thanks for the kind words lewbud, I found the glossy finish a bit of a challenge but I am happy with the results.

Cockpit assembled and painted interior green. A minimum amount of wiring was added, just so that it was not totally OOB.

Also IP was painted black and kit decals were applied.

LG. stunning paint on the PBY!! well done.

Zvezda. Good start nice!!

TJ. The F4 is taking shape.

Lewbud. Many thanks…

The P-47 is done and thank all of you for your comments.

Beautiful finish Nick! And I really like that outdoor “tropical” setting too [;)]
