Mark Deliduka Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Mark, I have the old Airfix Refueling set that I can probably submit for this Build. I may have already built one of the trucks; but I can always add the other to this Build. Let me see if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidF Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I want in! Let me check the stash when I get home and see what I got. I know I have several kits that will qualify, just depends on which one strikes my fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) Hmmm........I'll have to ponder this. I was looking for an EASY build while working on my A-20G. And, I DO need to replace a couple of Bf-109E's that got pancaked in my "shelving accident" last year. I also have an older Revell MkII Spit that would be an easy OOTB qualifyer. Another I have is the CA MkI Huricane and the BP Defiant. I think I'll poke around the stash a bit....Is there a time limit for the BoB build?

Dick Montgomery Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Wondering out loud here....how about an end date of Aug for the BoB and Mid East builds? And those who are attending Phoenix can bring their model(s) for display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 As of right now, I do not think so. I just got three more review kits that might qaulify as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montgomery Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 No worries mate. Are you thinking post-August then? Whatever floats the collective boat works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 First Group build. Running kinda blind. What do you guys think is fair. Shall we say August 31 and we close the thread? Open to suggestions here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidF Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 First Group build. Running kinda blind. What do you guys think is fair. Shall we say August 31 and we close the thread? Open to suggestions here. Sounds fine to me. Sent you a PM Mark about changing my kit from the Tamiya 1:48 Bf109E to the Eduard 1:32 Bf109E-4.

Dick Montgomery Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Ohhhh. The Eduard kit! I'm looking forward to seeing that! Please be sure to include "in progress" shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidF Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Ohhhh. The Eduard kit! I'm looking forward to seeing that! Please be sure to include "in progress" shots! Will do Just hope I do it justice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidF Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I hate to say this, but after taking another look at Eduard's 1/32 Bf109 I'm afraid I wouldn't do it justice at this point. My skills just aren't to the point where I would want them to be for this kit, so I'm putting it back in the stash for later. Mark - I pulled a Tamiya 1:48 Bf109 E-3 out of the stash for this build. I'll use Galland's JG26 August 1940 scheme. Sorry for all the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidF Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Just to show that I have started this kit :P Edited May 15, 2010 by DavidF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) I've got two 1/48 qualifiers in the works: The main entry is the Classic Airframes MkI "ragwing" Hurricane. The second entry, which will also qualify for the "Ace's Steeds" build is the Revell MkII Spitfire, which will be done in Douglas Bader's markings. Building both primarily OOTB, though I am doing a quick and dirty rescribe job on the old Revell Spit! By the way, that's Floquil Soviet Gray-Green for the British interior color. More pics in a few days when the interior painting is done! GIL Edited May 15, 2010 by ghodges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidF Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Made some progress on my 109. Lots of seams and joints to dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 More progress on the CA 1/48 MkI Hurricane..... She's together and I've added some Mr. Surfacer to the seams (ALL of them!). Should make some rapid progress over the next week or so. Cheers! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 No pics as both this Hurricane and the MkI Spit I'm building for the "Steeds" build are now primed in overall Floquil SP Lettering Gray. Dull, boring, not worth a picture.....BUT it's the result of about 3hrs of filling and sanding on each of the kits! The CA MkI Hurricane and the old Revell MkI spit aren't known for their fit! should be able to make some faster progress now....Cheers!

Mark Aldrich Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Gil, Keep it up. I didn't add any of the pics of the maintenance set because all I have done to them was base paint in black, OD, or brown. Hopefully by this weekend, I will have added a little more color.

wdedig Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Greetings all I would love to join in on this I have started a JU88A-1,just a backdate of a 1/72nd AMTech JU-88. I have plans for a 109E-3 and a Spitfire MKI I'll post some photos of JU-88 later Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Have made some progress on the Hurricane... The wing lights are done. I simply painted the resin lights silver and then added a drop of 5min epoxy for the lenses. I still need to paint the light housings and add the covers before resuming painting. I also decided to add clear wingtip lights. I used pieces of clear colored toothbrush handles, cut to fit the notches in the wingtips and then sanded and polished to shape. I'd also already painted the Sky undersides, and so I'll have to repair those painted areas after adding the wing light covers. Then I'll be ready for the top camo colors. Cheers!
