Nice work lloyd
-
Nice build and the weathering is spot on this one Ray
-
Well this will be a first for me, I have never built a car before
After a few problems with the decals for the Camo car, I have switch builds to the FedEx car
The decals for this build are kit ones
The kit will be a donor one from Revell, this means there is no boxing, no decals just the kit in a bag and the instructions
-
After talking with Mish and Lloyd, and as it seams this will not get the required support to have it as a GB, we have decided to do a "buddy build"
What we will do is post up in the Vehicle Non Military forum under the title of NASCAR BUDDY BUILD, if you want to join in just post your builds up in the forum with the title
NASCAR BUDDY BUILD then what you are building ie Tony Stewart #14 Burger King 2009 Daytona Chevy Impala Pepsi 400 Winner
No time limit so if you wish to join you can fit it around your other builds in progress
-
Well if this goes ahead count me in for this one, I have the cars, the decals and well there is only one driver that I could think of doing

Nice one Lloyd, you going to try and beat your build total for last year of 58 completed models?
For those of you who do not know Lloyd, he can build a model OOB (it was a 1/48th Airacobra) the day before the club contest, as that was the only class he did not have anything for.
Enter it, mind you it did have wet paint signs next to it LOL, and take first place 1/48 OOB

That's great work lloyd

Very nice Mish - prefer the blue background.
One very minor point that can be checked with google, This aircraft had white wall tyres like a car.
This is Bud's first P-51B Old Crow 43-12315,this was an ex-RAF P-51B which did not have the white wall tyres
43-12315 P-51B 363 B6-S Anderson Capt. Clarence E Jr. "Bud" Old Crow Ex RAF issue a/c FX863. Lost 22 March 44 - Lt. Carter L Jones POW
The P-51B you are referring to is 43-24823 which did have the white wall tyres
43-24823 P-51B 363 B6-S Anderson Capt. Clarence E Jr. "Bud" Old Crow a/c to Overstreet.
43-24823 P-51B 363 B6-O Overstreet Lt. William B Berlin Express + Artwork - Winged Mustang, a/c from Anderson
This aircraft later became The Berlin Express complete with the white wall tyres and the squadron code letters B6-0
I have checked the decals Mish has used from Eagle Strike, and the manufacture has used the wrong number on the tail for the aircraft depicted

Fantastic work there Luis
-
Nice one there Lloyd
-
Nice model there Ray, never seen this model before

I have put the Hasegawa F-14 to one side, yes all the normal issues with this kit.
I would like to get a Tomcat finished for this GB and with this in mind I have gone for the Hobby Boss F-14A kit.
I will be adding the following
1. Aires Resin Cockpit (on order will have this early next week)
2. Aires Resin Burner Cans (as above)
3. Quickboost ejection seats with safety belts
4. Master Alfa Probe & Angle of Attack Probe
5. Resin wheels, these will be either Aires or Wolfpack
6. Wolfpack F-14A update set (this is for the Tacan antenna)
7. Decals will be from Fightertown, their VF-84 Victory in the Storm, not sure which aircraft I will be doing yet
8. Weapons, if I do the CO's aircraft, 201 (early), 201 Cat Snatch Fever (the all grey one) or CAG's aircraft 200 (early-late cruise) I will use the Eduard Brassin Sidewinder's, Sparrow and Phoenix missiles
-
Nice work there lloyd
-
Nice progress on this Peter, does look like it goes together a lot better the the Hasegawa one
-
Well I was just going to start a F-14B VF-103 60th Anniversary scheme so I will be joining this GB with this build
-
Nice weathering there Peter
-
Nice build there, never see this one before
-
That is a nice looking P-47 there, had to look to see if it was 1/48th scale
-
Just completed this one for the Third Reich GB hope you enjoy
