Thanks Alex for starting this thread. I'm surprised we haven't had a completion for this yet seeing all the support we had starting it up. Where's all the tanks and stuff?

Alex/Doc, those are some AWESOME builds! I know I cracked a joke about them earlier but in all seriousness, your work is really great stuff, very realistic.

Excellent but my only concern is that the Campaign is Cauldron of War in some places and Cauldron of Fire in others? Moonpup, which is correct?

Regards,

Nice job Alex

Saul, either works, Dave setup the ribbons a while back when someone was calling it Cauldron of Fire, then someone mentioned CoW...both are correct I'd say.

The sixth COF finished: F-117A Revell 1/72

Alex I commend you on all your entries! All look quite exquisite! Way to go!

Okay, after far too long; I can finally declare my Israeli Nagmachon completed! But first, an explanation....

Awhile ago, I thought I'd finished my Nagmachon, but when I took the pics I noticed a few things. So, at first when I was going to post this pic:

I then noticed the crooked box on the side of the fender. Not good. Then when I wanted to post this pic:

...I noticed the black smudge on the back of the armor. So, I came up with an idea....


And now I can finally post the officially finished model.


Here it is with the box fixed in front:

And now for my solution to the black smudge. I decided to make it look like someone took a shot at it:

And the final view:

I tried to get a closer pic of the 'damage' but couldn't get the camera to focus on it. This was the best I could do:

That was the first time I'd ever done battle damage like that before. I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.
