Wing fold kit for the Prowler is from RetroWings, a great little kit. 

Brush painted in Humbrol enamels, weathered with Tamiya weathering sets and Mig panel line wash. 

Thanks to @nimrod54 for letting me have the Prowler kit.

In the Night fighter section of the Group build i present Classic Airframes Gloster Meteor NF11 of 29 squadron from 1958.

I have really enjoyed this build with few challenges and a really good base kit. The comments along the way show there's quite a lot of affinity with this aircraft even so many years after leaving service.

Hi All,

Here's my entry;

PAH-2 Tiger, a tank killer modelled from Italeri 1/72 kit which I read represent the early version of the helicopter.

Fully OOB, this quick build was painted using Revell Acrylic and Tamiya enamel paints.

I should really put some pictures of my Black Widow up here, before I forget! 

WIP available here

 

Someone has commented on another of my GB WIPs that half of my pictures are not showing up for them...
If anyone has any issues seeing the below pics, please can you leave me a comment on the above WIP and I'll try and figure out what's going on. Thanks! (Should be 5 pics)   ****I've just had to re-upload the photos through Flickr as Google Photos was just not playing****

A ship-killer: Airfix’s 1/72 Nakajima B5N2 built to represent the plane of Lt. Tauyoahi Nagai, leading 8 torpedo bombers from Soryu. He led the attack against the carrier row, and mistook the cruiser Helena for a battleship, and torpedoed her.

Sword Grumman Guppy (AEW Avenger) of 2 Sqn Royal Dutch Navy, 1959.

Painted with hairy sticks using Vallejo acrylics.

My first Sword kit and I think it's come out okay.

Thanks to the GB hosts 🙂

Here's my 1/48 RF-101B Voodoo. Build thread is here.

 

It's the Kitty Hawk kit with an Eduard zoom set and steel seat belts. I used Mr Paint and this was my first go at airbrushing freehand - not too bad I think.

 

Many thanks to the hosts for an excellent and enjoyable GB
