I'm in. I'll be finishing Revell's P38 first, then, if there is still time, I'll do Trumpeter's F-107.

Thank you Matt for the help. Babysteps, hm?

Anyway, I hope many people would sign up, and share their progress. (It is essentially a masochist's wet dream: suffer a lot to make something mediocre or downright bad into something great -or, in my case, acceptable...)
At least we all can learn from each other. I have a Monogram Hind waiting for the camo (I messed it up 10 years ago...), an old Revel MiG-21PF with a terrible resin MF conversion, and an Eduard WWI helicopter. And these are only the aircraft. If I have time, I'll finish the Titanic, and some armor, too...

This will be my entry.
The first and so far only figure I have attempted. I picked it up at Scale Model World last year and havent touched in for about 7 months.
I picked up some oil paints the oher day and hopefully it'll be done soon.
I watched a fabulous demonstration of painting faces in oils a couple of weeks ago, and that, along with this campaign,,should be just the motivation I need to get it done.

I'm in! I'll post pics of the kits later, I have to dig a couple of them out of the stash.

I'll be in Greenville, NC this weekend so I may not really be starting for a couple of days.

I'll be finishing an AMT/ERTL 1956 T-Bird (before my girlfriend kills me, it's for her and it's been "in progress" for over 2 years), a Tamiya Ferrari F-40, a Fujimi MR2, and if there is still time a Tamiya Ferrari F186. Yes, they are all in various states of completion; ADD is my biggest obstacle to building. Hopefully this is the motivation I need to get them finished.

M-10 which I have pics of.





Don't ask me how I applied two sets of stars on this one but I saw it somewhere.

Or at the time I was heavy into Crown and Coke still drink but not as much.

Would like to finish my Tiger I also.

Thanks

Here is what I will be entering/finishing for this campaign.



It is the Revell/Italeri Katyusha BM-13 Russian Multi-Rocket Launcher.

It was started awhile back and then put back in the box and thrown back in the closet. The frame was started and some of the parts were removed from the sprue. Other than that there wasn't anything else done to it. Hopefully it won't make a return trip to the closet.

I will post some in-progress photos soon.

I'm in as well, I have a few to choose between! At least a few on this list have to be finished this year to fulfill my new years resolution of yesteryear (see my avatar).

All in 1/72:

Tamiya Mossie in BOAC markings
Hasegawa F-104S
High Planes Gloster E 28/39
Hasegawa Grumman Avenger (leftover from the Suez campaign)
Mach 2 Piasecki HUP-2 (another leftover from Suez...)

There are more but these are at least from this century, they haven't fallen that far back from "today's quality"...

I will be working on my Tomcat to finish it in time and then there is a Mirage IIIC that is kind of personal and have to be finished in time for C4 Open in Malmö this autumn. After that, the wrecks...

Regards

Magnus

ok, i did get something done on the rocket, but my monitor flatlined on me late last night! so i'm writing this on a modern flat screen with my new wireless keyboard and mouse (the old keyboard was dirty and while i was getting a monitor anyway...............)
i got the regulator and its piping on, then i decided that the chimney stays and boiler braces were a little too thick and had seam lines down them so i replaced them with.50mm plastic rod-

and also one is smaller than the other due to being short shot ^

an improvement on the kit part if i say so myself!

how she looks at the minute, barrel is looking quite cool with its stripes!

Well, I hope that the campaign leaders and administrators will accept a late entry. I remembered this kit yesterday and thought that I would finish it. Please let me know if this is allowed.



Thanks!

Here is my entry. I really need some motivation to get this one done.

Everything is cut from the sprues due to having to bring it home in a suitcase where there was no room for the box or even the sprues.

Phew....

It looks like you and I are working on the same subject Jesper. At least all of your parts are off of the sprue!! I haven't got that far yet.

Hi Sam,
Of course it's allowed! It's the only one allowed


Phil,
That thing is incredible!


Thanks for everybody; I'm looking forward to seeing these kits resurrected.

Thanks, Andras. I think I entered a P38 and F107 earlier. Is that correct?
