***DONE: Bell p-39N Airacobra 42-18393 "Millie" 350th FG 346th FS Group Build

[Airframes]

Far as I know, there's also a separate GB for 'D-Day Stripes' coming up Peter, but I think a Typhoon with rockets would probably qualify under the Bombers/Heavy Hitters GB anyway, as there will be JU87G's etc in this GB from what I've heard.
I'll contact some of the modelling judges, see what's in the pipeline, and so on, then post the Guidelines for the next GB.

Cheers Terry - that would be great. I've got a couple of options in the stash that I think would qualify, but a little advance notice will mean I can do some more evilbaying for bits, essential bits!

I've got a few options myself, B-17, HE-111, but I'm leaning towards doing a Sturmovik.

 

[ozhawk40]

All classics Keith, so you can't go wrong. The Sturmovik, if it's an AM one can build to a fantastic model. Decisions, decisions!

 

[Heinz]

Its looking great Peter!

Cheers

Nice siggy Peter 8)

 

[ozhawk40]

Thanks Dan. I suddenly decided I should have one - I was mucking about in Paint Shop Pro and two minutes later there is was! It's not as "fancy" as some, but I'm no expert, so I'm happy with the result.

Cheers

Peter

 

[Heinz]

I agree with Dan its pretty sweet Peter!

 

[ozhawk40]

Thanks Heinz

Started on the decals, and here is a couple of update pics. Painted the crate all over gloss, but it was still a bit 'rough" to the touch in spots, so I sanded gently with fine grit and water, so it was smooth, then applied the decals.

Cheers

Peter

Looking great Peter, I like the contrast in colours with the control surfaces - nice!
