madmike Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Here is Shawn "Phantom" Weiler's first entry (what if build) and the first entry completed for the Monogram Group build. OOB as per rules, Starfighter and Freedom fighter decals from Leading edge. Hasegawa spare data decals on a Canadian 1970s style cam. Did it up as a 433 porcupine bird. One of Canada's (at that time) CF-5 squadrons. Well done Shawn!! MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ripped of and fixed that starboard wing. Dang, this model blows dead bears. My Voodoo shall be better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Shawn, Nice build BTW!!! Cool scheme, boy do we think alike!!! I may just change my mind and do mine in the NMF FIP CF-5Bs. Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Davenport Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Well, everyone, I've finished the FW-190A. It was my first ever airbrushed mottling scheme, and I have to say I'm a little bit pleased at how that turned out, considering it was my first time. It'll be good practice for my Tamiya kit. The alignment on the landing gear is a little bit off and the tail section is a little warped, but this was a good low stress practice build after my "Netz". Now on to the P-40.

Spaced Marine Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Very nice to see! It's just enough to get this mod off his duff and working on a Phantom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Shawn "Phantom" Weiler's second entry. 1/48 Monogram CF-101 Voodoo using Canmilair ALPS decals. This is the 409 squadron show bird from 1977, during that squadrons 25th anniversary. Edited May 25, 2007 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n Wannabe Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Now that's a nice looking bird! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Looks great! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) Here's my "First Lunar Landing" in 1/48 scale. Straight from the box, including using the gold foil that came with it. Here's a tip: don't bother with it, as the adhesive on it is useless, except for making sure that Microscale Foil Adhesive doesn't work! aaargh. The base was sprayed Dark Gull Gray and the shadows were painted Scale Black... basically black with a bit of white mixed in (the flash from the camera makes it look lighter than it is). Edit: forgot that the footprints were done with a scale black wash. I'm giving it to my Dad for Father's Day. Mike Edited June 1, 2007 by mlicari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Looks great! The shadows look very effective. MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarylH Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The Monogram Albatross.......in 1/72 scale. Everything you see (except the paint) came out of the box. Antennas and static discharce wicks are stretched sprue from the parts trees. Decals are from the kit and were the worst part of it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarylH Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey great moon base Mike! Base, shadows, foil and it all comes together for a sweet look.....cool I'll have to keep that kit in mind during my next tour through a vendor room. Now that the Albatross is done I can take some time to appreciate the rest of these builds...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n Wannabe Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Great looking build, Daryl! :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey great moon base Mike! Base, shadows, foil and it all comes together for a sweet look.....cool Thanks! Nice job on the Albatross! I've been really wanting to get one, but they're starting to go for quite a bit on e-bay. The version I'm really looking for was the version with the Coast Guard decals. Last time I saw it though it was pushing $50. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Daryl This is a fantastic build! Nice work :) :) MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A red and white bird based at Annette Alabama. If I ever feel the need to do another I would sand off all of the rivets, paint it red and white with Tamiya sprays and give the decals 2 coats of Micro Superfilm before using them.

mlicari Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Coast Guard decals is the other option on the decal sheet. I noticed that on your pic of the kit before you started. All I can seem to find though is the release that comes with just the USAF declas. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
