TF51GREGWISE Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 just a show of hands of who has finished and who will finish and who will not finish. We have about 3 weeks left Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have completed my F-8C and should have my RF-8G done by 1st June, not sure on my A-7? Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Done. Only building the one for this GB. All ready had a few on the shelfs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevenJ Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'm still hoping to finish mine. I have the bits in the fuselage and the fuselage glued together but have to rescribe a few lost panel lines. I'm so swamped that my head is spinning and things are very stressful but I hope to still be able to finish her up last-minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quiddy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 OOOPs I thought I had an extra month for this group. I better get my *** in gear to finish my F-8. Wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkimages Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Mine is ready and waiting for paint. I've been slacking a bit. Should be no problem to finish in time, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damian Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 At this point all I can do is moderate this GB! :o As you've no doubt noticed I haven't been aroun much latley...lotsa personal stuff so I won't be building just modding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chorse6 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Would be finished sooner, but last night I realized I had the wrong wing for my F-8H. I used the cutting edge conversion, but didn't realize I should have kept the same wing as the F-8E! So now I have D model wing, on my fuselage. Decided to purchase another E model from Squadron and I'll use that wing. I'll drive on with the rest of the fuselage (since I have half a ton of resin). Should be able to finish by the deadline as long as Squadron gets the wing here quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscusn Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) Have the A-7D painted and going to the decal stage. Images to be posted on the Delta. The A-7E is ready for paint. The F-8E is still in the construction phase and that will be very close. Chuck Fly Navy Edited May 11, 2006 by uscusn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GA.modelmaker Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i havent even started my a-7 but i am in the mood to get it done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevenJ Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) Oh man, this is NOT going to help. I broke the tip to my Iwata. I decided to clean it and then put it back on and I think I tightened it too much. It honestly didn't feel like I was putting any pressure on it when screwing it back in. But when I tried to paint thinner through it I got this weird noise and took it apart and looked and there's a big hole or crevace in the side of the tip. It looks like someone twisted the tip causing it to break. I ordered a new one last night but this may kill any hope of completing her on time because I won't be able to do anything this weekend now.

Sabre Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 No joy here...to many other family/work/church things have kept popping up. Still doing the mod thing.....<_< Good to go, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lodni_k Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I should come in just under the wire on my F-8E! <_< I haven't even started my A-7 yet, though! <_< I just got my cockpit in for it today! The slavemasters around here have been keeping us pee-on's here till 2-3AM the last couple of weeks! And I know I'm behind putting up in-progress pics, so pleeeeessee don't beat me!! :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dimosthenis Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) I'm going as fast as I can here, but with 2 exams coming up in June (college and my PPL) and all the perks of this tricky conversion, I'm surely outside of the GB deadline... <_< I will give it a try though.

P-38 guy Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I have to throw in the towel. Haven't touched anything in 2 months or more. The kids sports have taken all my spare time. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James A Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Yeah I gotta' bail too. Work and other committments outside of work got in the way these past 6 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkimages Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 mkimages, calling the ball! I put a coat of future on this AM and will start weathering tonight. I'll probably update my build thread late tonight. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fan Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevenJ Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I just got back into town and there is no way I will finish and I certainly do not want to rush the job. I'm just about to where I'm ready to paint. I just need to clean up the CE brake bay area (after getting the Aires cockpit, wheel bay and engine to fit and the fuselage glued up.)

kozlok Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Sorry kids, no joy on getting done. I got my F-8 an A-7D both together and ready for paint, but I've been building an F-14 for the Sunset build. I also got distracted by an F-117 build...but that's a different problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
