Well ...

 

Didn't see this one coming!! ...

 

Ok ... since I have a few months, I may just give this one a crack!

 

I don't expect to win ... My skills are just not that good (no way I'm hitting those links Jeroen - I may just get too discouraged!!!)

 

... but it will be fun.

Don't put yourself down. I'm sure you'll turn out a real gem, and if you've any questions, then this is a great place to ask

[Artful69]

Don't put yourself down ...

 

Oh!! Don't get me wrong - It wasn't self abasement ... It's like Dirty Harry says: "A man's gotta know his limitations" ...

I'm a realist - I'll have a crack at building an OOB mossie (since I'll be on a roll with a 109 and a Spitfire) ... and I want to have a go!

... but the masters can't use me to pace 'em - I'll be taking a leisurely stroll through these 42kms, sir

... and I won't be doing too much that's funky - a very basic build.

I'll be building my HK Models Meteor with all the Eduard and Profi Modeller upgrades I could find. 

Happy days!

 

After that I will build the Lancaster which I will win in this contest.

Very nice, I think I will enter the Mossie Prototype. So far only the flaps have been doctored with and nacelles sawn apart. Muuuch less than 25%.

Cheers !

Have started some work on the HK B-17G, but like no way will have it done by June 30th.  Oh well such is life - Dollar short and a day late!

[Wingco57]

Ice,

It's not the finishing but taking part that counts. And the fun of course.

Cees

[Mish]

Tempted to enter with the mossie, but need to think about it first.

I agree ... Do335 ... If just for a bit of variety ...

 

When is the release date for that one?

 

I'd go the B25 ... But since I'll be doing strict OOB only (and I use Master brass gun barrels where they poke out) it will have to be the Mossie.

Oh awesome! Question- is t purely HK models permitted or would something like the HK meteor with Fisher f.8 conversion be permitted?

That would be permitted!

[seiran01]

Sweeeeeeet

[Wingco57]

And a HK Models Lancaster prototype that has been dismembered and just had some Evergreen strip added as fuselage structure?

Can that enter too?

I think that the sheer fact that this requires a lot of work (still) and that it's a HK Models prototype we an OK this!

[Wingco57]

Ok then, the Manchester it is then. In fact I have to mostly build something resembling a kit first and then build it LOL.

Cees

[mozart]

I've finished one of the HK Meteors including the G-Force undercarriage, Fisher nacelles and Brassin wheels but I've also ordered and will be building the T7 Meteor when the Fisher upgrade is released in February time.  Are upgrades like this allowed or does it have to be OOB?

Max 

[Wingco57]

No problem Max.

Cees

[mozart]

Thanks Cees, then I'm in with a Meteor T7, already have the kit and many of the AM parts, just waiting for Paul Fisher to send out the resin!

Max

[Iceman]

OK Cees, started scratch-building the interior of the upper Sperry Turret which will be a model of and in itself, does that count as an entry?

 

Should look something like this when done;

 

[Wingco57]

Kirk,

as long as you glue a HK Model B-17 to it LOL

Cees

[wrbrdmech]

I will be entering the competition with the HK Meteor converted to a T.7 using the soon to be released Fisher Models conversion. Just waiting on the set to start shipping.

 

Thanks
