Once again, late to the party but trust you have room to squeeze in one more guest. I had to clear my workspace which was left untouched since the Lancaster group build earlier this year. Searching the garage for a project that would fit this STGB, I found a B-25J Mitchell still in the shrinkwrap. I have ordered some Kits-World decals from Sprue Brothers that will help me depict 43-27751/50 'Meet Mrs Runyon - Margaret Mary Rustin' (321st BG/447thBS) Here we go.... Still in the shrinkwrap (should meet the "less than 25%" requirement) Oooooh, that fresh styrene smell And the copyright molded in: Revell 1977 China Not sure what level of crazy I want to go to... but I've had fun with each group build so far! Kits-World decals (KW148033) on the way. Chose the MMR option just for the OD. Not ready for an NMF project yet Reference via the Kits-World site

Recently I was quite lucky with my eBay trawling and came across Eduards 1/48 bf 109 G Royal Class for bargain. Now, I'm well aware of Eduards folly with their initial 109 G-6 release, such as bulges where they're not wanted, unusual joins and the 1/47 point something scale they managed to measure it out to, but to me this isn't a deal breaker. Besides the known issues, which can be made to disappear, and ignoring the unusual scale, this is reported to be the best Gustav out there. To have found a complete Royal boxing, that wasn't in need of a call to my bank manager first, seemed too good to miss. As you're no doubt aware there are a good 14 marking options available, two of which are for North African based Gustavs, and I plan to build Werner Schroer's bf 109 G-2 as part of the MTO group build. As an insurance policy should something go terribly wrong (and things always try to with my modelling!) I've got a new tool Airfix 1/48 Emil lurking in the shadows. So, onto photos. Below we have the full kit itself (minus the glass, it's in use), the decals and the marking option I plan on using. I plan to brush paint this entirely but unfortunately I picked up Humbrols RLM range with high hopes and was horribly surprised, thus I'm lacking all of the required paints. New ones were ordered from Sovereign on Sunday, they shipped Monday so hopefully they'll be here Wednesday and the chaps have been kind enough to give me plenty of info on them so I can just jump right in. That's it for now, I'll make a start on what I can and then start making decent progress once the postie has been! Only worked against the clock once before so we shall see how this goes, but with just over two months I'm feeling confident.
