Aeroscale campaign and a week overview

Hi fellas, I can't call this a update since I have no pictures to show ( there will be a picture update on the Su-100 im doing).

First I wanted to spread the news about this awesome campaign that is taking place over at Aeroscale .

The campaign name is The lottery which is mostly what it is, there are several topics, some of the titles are ;

-"Czechmate!" Build any Czech aircraft. (Free Czech flying with the RAF are acceptable so long as the Czech insignia is present)

-"Pearl Diving" Build any aircraft that participated in the attack on/defense of Pearl Harbour. Must be correct markings and scheme for Dec 7, 1941.

-"Blame it on the Twin Boom" Build any twin boom aircraft OR aircraft capable of Mach 2 in level flight (no rockets.)

-"Made in China" Build any Chinese manufactured Aircraft in Chinese livery.

-"Cripes, it's a Convair" Any aircraft you please, so long as it's a Convair.

-"Gimme a break!" Any aircraft with folding wings, built with wings in the folded position.

-"Drafted" Build any civilian aircraft pressed into service.

-"Hellofacopter" Anything rotary wing.

-"NASA to meet you!" Build any aircraft used by NASA. -"Low Hanging Fruit" Build any aircraft with an anhedral wing

Anyways, when you enlist for the campaign Mr. Rey Palmer ( Who is the leader) puts the titles in a hat and picks one.

I got to build a Sopwith airplane, which im really looking forward to since I haven't done a bi-plane or anything WWI-ish yet.

Su-100

Now the Su-100 part. I have managed to finish the tracks and wheels this week, which ment that this weekend was airbrushing and weathering. I dropped the first idea of making it in two colored green and   sand camo since I didn't have enough references so I decided for a simple sand finish with quite alot of dust and other weathering. I'll try to post the pictures tomorrow and see what you think about it.

Su-100 Tracks and some general updates

Hi everyone, I have a little update today.
I'm preparing to finish the Su-100 in time for Vienna Go-modeling contest in two weeks, I've been working on the tracks ( Only one side left before painting) and man these tracks are awesome and very well detailed but the assembly is very exhausting and time taking, it took me 5 days to finish one side ( 30 minutes to 1 hour of work each day). It will be painted in a two tone green and sand camo ( unlike the one in Bovington museum) and with no markings.

I also took a picture together with Modelkasten Pz 1. tracks for comparison, these look huge next to them.

During the week I got some new stuff, two very cool 1/144 airplane kits from Ozmods which are very well detailed and nice ( If anyone's interested I may take some pictures and post them).

The other thing I got is the SKP model figure of a WWII British soldier unfortunately I didn't have time to see it and decide how good it is, I will do so in one of the next blog updates.
