Ken Middleton Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I’M DONE! Just in under the deadline… OK, the two seater’s a Testors kit, and the single seater’s Monogram’s old “A-18 Strike Fighter†boxing. Both are 1/48 and painted with MM enamels. Two Bobs decals were used and both were weathered with watercolor washes and pastels. The TACTS pods, LEX fences, blade antennae, a pair of AOA sensors, seeker head covers, and one of the –B models nose gear doors were scratched. In the –B bird, the seatbelts were cut from masking tape. They’re not 100% accurate, nor are they contest winners. Shucks, they’re barely 3-footers! (I was using them more as some test builds than anything.) Still, I’m glad they’re done. Here are a few pix: Cont… Very nice work O, having done a few of the Testors single seaters, they can be a bit challenge. Hope to do a 2 seater someday. I like your captive missiles. They look like Omars to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CraigSargent Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Still need to collate prizes and entries. The current issue is that with Scott Brown and Dave Roof banned from the site, I need to confirm they are happy to still sponsor the GB and that the listed prizes are all still available.
