Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I always find it quite sad when a groupbuild enters its final stages. We only have five weeks left on this one. Four of my builds are basically complete... all bar the shouting. The other two will be entering the decalling phase tomorrow. It just seems a shame to waste the last five weeks. I really fancied building a very late war D-9. There were at least three D-9 aircraft that were completed with the Ta152 tail fin and they all had the odd camouflage that seemed to be incomplete. I wonder if I can squeeze one final build in. Gideon is giving me the evil eye as she thinks that my current workload of 25 projects is enough, but she hasn't yet forbidden it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five weeks is toms of time and I can vouch for my hobbyboss kit as a pretty straightforward build.. I’m still dithering as I have many other builds in WIP and a distinct shelf space issue… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I was just having a look at the gallery and I'm very impressed with the work being presented. Congratulations to all those modellers who have presented their builds so far. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A package arrived yesterday, which happened to be my birthday, and included an overtrees version of the Eduard 1/48 A-5 "light". While it would be miraculous if I completed a build before the end of the Group Build (or, indeed, at all), I'm having a hard time coming up with an adequate excuse not to play along. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time like the present to build a present, it will only get pushed to the back in that little white box, go on, you know you want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 My five, yes it’s definitely five FW190s are progressing well, might even get a coat of primer on the (other) A6 tomorrow. But I think I need to get moving on my Sablatnig and my Freidrichshaffen or I’ll miss the salty sea dog deadlines… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did also walk the dog, do the weekly shop, mow the grass and get my MC101 recording on my Zoom R16 today, if that makes any sense to the rest of you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
