any progress?

well we're a month in & I'm giving you all a kick up the arse to get cracking with your builds

I know how these things work, there's a sudden flow of ideas & suggestions then no one actually builds anything until a week before the deadline...

well I've got a OD/grey Brazillian P-51B Mustang based in Italy 1944 which I've almost finished painting up, hopefully will get the decals on next weekend

I gots my some turn of the war Barizillian decals. Actually from a Matchbox Kansan. I was thinking about a legitimate P-47
Also got the Pucara kit and several A-4 with Argi markings, a Meteor and some Superscale decals and and yet...

I still wanna do something what-iffier. But I can't find the "right" combination to make me get hard. An Me-262 from...

By the way, where did Willie Messershmitte end up after the war?

Oh, now you've done it. You've made me remember 'Iron Eagle 3: Aces', the movie with the crappiest aviation scenes ever. The connection is that it featured a "Messerschmitt Me-263" (in reality a Rutan ARES).

Still trying to find eleven Fairey Gannets, plastic toadstools and a complete set of "Pocahantas" action figures so I can get started. Failing that I'll resort to plan B and see what McDonalds are giving away in their happy meals.

Spain, I think, before moving back to Germany where the company with his name was making micro-cars. The HA-200/220 was a Messerschmitt design.

Brilliant work Geoff. It looks fantastic

If I'm not allready on your list, count me in!

The progress this far:

My Draken is in the final stage of being completed. It's painted but canopy and under-carriage is to be fitted. The problems are the decals. The fictional Managuayan AF markings! I just have to make some custom ones. Somehow ...

My Cuban MiG-23 is under progress. Parts have been sanded and weight added. Only problem this far is that the seat is missing! But I'm working on that.

And a very nice Mirage, Geoff!
