Previously-built Models

Post by JohnRatzenberger »

Here post 1-2 images of previous builds of GB-subject models. You do not have to be a member of this GB to do so.

If your model has a build thread on UAMF (old or new), then please include the link.

I have built a number of Matchbox kits, here are a few of my favorites

For the Ted Taylor Tribute GB on UAMF in 2013, the PK-551 Victor K-2 Tanker and 3 Lightnings (1 Matchbox PK-114, 2 Revell/Hasegawa for expediency only).

Image

I have done two PK-177 Churchill Bridgelayers and it is one of my most favorite kits.

Here is my first build, OOB, done for Blitzbau XI - that's right, for a Blitzbau. It might be interesting to see how one makes a detail plan ahead of time to accomplish a lot -- that's one approach to a Blitz ... There's also a lot of "how I built it" that might be of interest to anyone tackling the kit that might want the bridge to wind up & down ....

Image

The other one is a conversion of the kit to a "Folding SBG" -- this was done for the 2013 Small Scale Armor GB here on UAMF. It was also supposed to move, but that really proved a "bridge too far" (groan).

This little Strikemaster was first built about 35 years ago, and survived all this time, unlike a virtual identical model built at the same time. About a month ago, it looked like this:

When I decided to build one of my Strikemasters for this GB, it's days were clearly numbered; limited shelf space, idiotic markings, and what was almost certain to be a much better Strikemaster about to come of the production line put it at the front of the trashcan queue. So, because I had very little to lose, I decided to take a stab at restoring it.

The canopy came off without much difficulty (scary part over), and then there was a lot of sanding to wipe out the horrible glue spills and blobby paint. Very little actual reconstruction was needed, just some very minor bits of filling and sanding.

I didn't have any decals for it of course, and although I have a Xtradecal sheet for a large number of Strikemasters, this didn't include generic markings. It did, however, include markings for a plane that didn't really have any beyond the 'danger' triangles below the canopy. One option, so easy decision :-D

I didn't feel like trying to mask a wraparound camo scheme, so I went freehand on this. So, here she is, with a new lease on life:
