Rules for the new Model of the Month. Please read before posting

1. Entries must be of your own work.
2. The model must be of an aircraft.
3. The model can be in any scale and in any medium.
4. The model can be “out of the box”, scratch built, or anything in between.
5. The model must be finished within the month for which it is entered. The model could have been started some time before the MOM for which it is entered, it is the month in which it is actually finished that counts. So if it isn't finished this month it may be ready for next month or the month after
6. 1 picture is to be uploaded into the relevant gallery and titled with what the model is of, I.E. VS Spitfire Mk Vc. No composites. This picture must be of just the model, no base. (For a model posed in the "in Flight" configuration" a small stand is allowed which can be used to either support the model or as a counter weight. A beaching dolly can be used for a float plane.
7. A thread will be opened in the general aircraft forum in which you MUST add up to 3 further pictures and you MAY add details about the build. The model can appear on a base or even in a diorama in this thread. Pictures must not be larger than 800 pixels wide, in either the gallery or the information thread. If you wish to post further pictures then open your own thread.
8. Pictures of models can be placed in the gallery from the first of the month until the penultimate day of the month (the next to last day) (see “5” above). (This is to avoid the time zone difference, I'm working on GMT)
9. Voting will take place over the first half of the next month, closing on the 16th. (This will be between 18.00 and 00.01 GMT)
10. A member winning one month cannot win the following month.
11. Dragon are sponsoring this from June 2007.
12. Staff members of the Kitmaker group of sites cannot enter.
13. The rules will be added to when and if it is deemed necessary.
14. Any none complience with these rules may result in disqualification.
15. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for not abiding by them.

G'day all.
A whole bunch of firsts here for me:
First MOM entry, first campaign entry (Aluminium Campaign), first jet kit ever, first NMF kit ever, first kit I've actually completed in YEARS. Had decals issues but will live with that. Anyway, hope you like !
Tamiya 1/48 F-84G Thunderjet OOB build.



Cheers all and thanks for checking it out.

Hi,

this is my first MOM entry. I have 1/48 Focke Wulf FW 190A-3 by Hasegawa and I hope you like it.

Here's my entry:

It's Hasegawa's 1/72 P-47D Thunderbolt built OOB. The only things I added were masking tape seatbelts, bits of styrene for sidewall details, and a stretched sprue stick. The cockpit is extremely spartan, but is nearly invisible once the canopy is on. I wanted to give it the look of a well-used, war-weary bird, so I weathered relatively heavily. I painted it with Polly S and Tamiya acrylics, used a sludge wash for panel lines, and used the oil dot method to fade the paint and break up the monochrome look. I added some pigments to the wheels to dust things up a bit.

This is the first aircraft I've built in more than a decade. Hope you like it!

Hi,

my first MOM entry too. Here is my polish fighter PZL P.11c in 1:48 scale. It shows the airplane in experimental german looks like camuflage after the crash landing. Theres quite lot of picture of this special p.11c, but the history is unclear. The model contains Part PE, and plenty of selfmade parts. Buid took about half a year.

My entry:
Bell P-39L Airacobra in 1/48 scale.
Eduard kit built entirely out of the box fashion

Well, here goes my first attempt at MOM in a couple of years.
Tamiya He162-A2 Salamander in 1/48. Paints are Model Master Acrylic. This kit was built for the Luft 46' campaign.

Italeri 1/48 Tornado "Black Panthers" only asddition was modified hasegawa pilots

Excellent choices, all! This is one of those months that I can honestly say it was hard to pick 'a best of'.

I agree. There is usually one that speaks to me each month, but this month...Wow. I want to change the rules so we can vote for a handful.

Great job everyone who entered. Fantastic work.


Cheers,
Mike
