Fine Molds kit. I still need to grab a pic of the box & sprues.....but I started fiddling with it as soon as I pulled pieces out of the box. :smack: I'm more that a little surprised I've have not built a F-14 yet since rejoining the hobby...or a Prowler for that matter. Time to fix that...

This one is being built for our annual club group build, Anything Ukraine. I've got until January, so starting now I've 1/2 a chance to have it done. :lol:

Old Testors/Italeri kit I received as a started project through the local club. Going to do a rehabilitation to the existing start (mostly just paint) and build more or less out of the box. This one is being built as part of a classic Italian kit group build. Built up the cockpit (minus...

Decided to take this on as a quick weekend project to build in parallel w/ a fellow club member (he's building a 1/72 P-51). Fiddly engine bits...that I had to redo later when the fuselage halves wouldn't quite close up due to interference w/ the engine cylinders. Significant sanding...

After much deliberation I've settled on the RB-66. Relatively small parts count hopefully means I can get it done and cleared in fairly short order.

With the F-4 & RX-7 complete, time to move on with the next one. This build is for our annual club build. The theme for this year is Israel. Having confirmation that fantasy/what-if schemes were eligible I decided to go for something a little different to the norm. Seeing as Israel uses a...

A "simple" build I was building for a classic Monogram/Revell GB on another site. I actually acquired 2 of these cheap as there was no box, decals, or instructions. This build will be mostly out of the box with the exception of decals (Xtradecals USAFE England) and weapons. The only reason...

Way out of what I normally build. I got this kit a few months ago at a club meeting. A lot of kits were being given away, most were started, by a guy moving cross-country. Fast forward to last night...for whatever reason I pulled the box out of the pile at 2 am and fumbled through the parts...

I shouldn't be starting this one...but I've been itching to have a go for quite some time. With the F-4 approaching the paint stage, I'll be looking for something in the construction spectrum to mess with in between paint and decal sessions. And lord knows the decals are going to take a...

For @Rhino since he sounded intrigued. :D Building for a Nordic build. I've always liked the late cold war SAABs...especially the Viggens. Wanted a simpler build that I can hopefully get done in about a week...so that ruled out the Viggens. The single color finish of the Dane ticked the...

The venerable Hasegawa long nose Phantom is a concurrent build w/ the F-4EJ Kai. I was curious to see the differences in 3 decades of model production development. The particular kit was picked up for a song at a model show 3 years ago. Do I expect it to be to the level of the Z-M? No...

This is a build I've started for the annual club group build. This year's theme is twin engine. This will be a largely OOB build, with at this point in time the only planned AM being decals and a pair of ASMs from a Hasegawa JASDF weapons kit. I'm even using the kit seats for this build (and...

The other build I've got going on. I've never been a big F-16 nut...not that I dislike them, I just generally find other aircraft more interesting. I got this kit from the LHS a couple years ago when I went in to burn a rebate card I had. Saw it sitting on the shelf, and it surprisingly...

Realized I had a couple ongoing builds that I haven't posted. I think they have shown up in the "What on the Bench" thread, but that's about it. This started out as a Vietnam build...then things got carried away and time allotments were overrun. That NEVER happens.... :lol: Ok, who am I...

Here we go. Super quickie build to, A) get one more box out of the stash, and B) test/experiment w/ MRP paints. Primary purpose is to use this as a test bed for the MRP paints which I have not used yet. If I'm going to experiment, I might as well have a little fun, right? :good: At the...

The A-4 was the end of the line for carrier-borne fixed wing aircraft for Australia. Operations of the HMAS Melbourne ceased in 1982, with the surviving aircraft being sold to New Zealand to supplement their A-4 fleet. This is one being build for an A-4 GB on another site. Hopefully should be...

Hey Pup, if this GB isn't actually still open feel free to delete this thread and I can re-open one in Wesendorf Field. As if I don't have enough irons in the fire, I was gently reminded the other day about a Mustang build we are doing in our local club. To bad it's specifically for the...

I was curious what people's thoughts on these were. Obviously I'd need a suitable flat bottom ceramic bowl (which I have). It would certainly be more convenient than replacing the water every 10-15 minutes. A couple of the ones I was looking at list an operating temp of 131 degrees. I don't...

A simple little side project to aid in clearing the 1/72 bits out of the stash. The plan is to build this one largely OOB, wheels up, and mounted on a simple stand. Leaning towards the French markings...but not set in stone. I need to look through my decal bin and make sure I don't have some...

Had the itch to mess w/ a car this weekend...so ventured down another spontaneous quick build. I was hoping to have it finished up over the weekend, but came up a bit short. The kit is a bit of a double edged sword. Drawbacks for me are that it is a curbside model (pretty standard for the...
