Here you can post a couple pics of your finished model. I'd say 5 pics per model are enough. If you have more, you can always put those in your build thread and post a link here.

Also, we have some very generous people here on ARC, who decided to donate some stuff for the raffle at the end of the GB. Here's a list of what you can win:

-From Vagabond Decals: Two times a $25 credit plus free shipping from their webstore.

-From Dave Brown (Sig Saur & Son here on ARC): A signed copy of his book Birds of Prey

-From Bashace: A $200 gift certificate for Spruebrothers

-From B! : Dragon 1:48 Master Series Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9, CamPro P48-003 1:48 VA-22 and VA-46 decal sheet

And there's more coming!

From Floyd S. Werner, Jr.: One decalsheet for the AH-1F in 1/72 and one in 1/48

From Pete: One 1/72 Academy F/A-18C Hornet

Remember folks, only if you post pics of your finished model here, you are eligible for one of these prizes. If you have problems with posting pics, contact me or just ask in a thread, and we will help you out.

I'm going to list completed builds in order in which they were completed in this first post to organize things a little.

If you wish you comment on a particular build, please post in their build thread to keep this thread less cluttered.

Now, let's see some nice models.

OK, my HH-60 is not acceptable so here is a new model. I KNOW THIS WAS IN DESERT STORM for sure 100%.

A Canadian Forces CC-137 tanker.

DSC_0075.jpg

Its the old Heller kit with Leading edge decals. Both of which I got in trades with the Royal Canadian Model Mafia.

OK, we did not have any Tiger striped Hornets in theatre but its the closest in scale Hornet I have.

This is the 1/72 scale Fujimi kit of the Mig-21, which the box labels as an MF, but is actually a Mig-21Bis. I added the decals from a Revell SU-24, which is why they're a bit oversized. Its not enough of a difference to bother me though. The R 60 missiles are also from the SU-24 model.

The shape of the plane just looks quick and rocket like, so I could not resist posing it in flight.

Fujimi gets a big thumbs up from me for including a very nice figure in the kit.

OK, I think I am out of desert storm decals unless I mash together some stuff for a Desert cats CF-18.

This is a 1/48 Hasegawa F-4G OOB with a very partial Fox 1 decal sheet. Most of the markings came out of the Hasegawa kit.

Here's another A-10 to add to Benner's. Not only does it make his Warthog feel less lonely, his Warthog is also secretly happy that it is far prettier... Thanks to Benner for the unit decals for this one, and to the anonymous donor who gave me the kit (Monogram 1/48) and resin cockpit from Black Box. I also used the resin DRA for the AIM 9s, and closed elevons.
