  1. Spread the word guys to your buds if we want this build to become reality. We're up to 23 yes votes at the time of this reply. Not sure what that magic number is before the GB Bubbas give us the thumbs up and put it on the calendar. Based on some of the other group builds I've seen, I would have thought this one a shoe-in. Don
  2. I started a discussion over on the General Discussion board concerning a Special Ops Group Build. It would be open to any aircraft that flew in harm way in support of a Special Operations mission. At first interest started out strong and then seemed to drop off. If you'd be interested in joining this GB, head over to the General board (link below) and add your vote to the poll. Right now, there doesn't appear to be enough interest to justify adding to the GB calendar. http://s362974870.on...howtopic=257891 Don :salute:/>
  3. I started a discussion over on the General Discussion board concerning a Resurrected Special Ops Group Build. Interest started out strong and then seemed to drop off. If you're interested in a Special Ops GB, head over to the General Discussion board (link below) and add your vote to the poll. Right now, there doesn't appear to be enough interest to justify adding to the GB calendar. http://s362974870.on...howtopic=257891 Don
  4. So this Group Build is still looking for potential builders that might be interested in joining. I know Spec Ops helos are not the last word in Special Operations but they tend to garner a lot of interest on this board. If you think you may be interested in joining, head over to the thread in the General Discussion threads and add your vote to the poll. I guess the current count of 17 is insufficient to get a date on the calendar. And like Loach Driver said, it will be the 20th Anniversary of Operation Gothic Serpent and with the Nightstalkers decal sheet out, there are quite a few subje
  5. Looking great John. Can't wait to see the finished build. Don
  6. Hey Neo, Any news on where this GB stands in the approval pipeline? I see other GB proposals coming up and would hate to see this one bumped down or off the list. Don
  7. Stumbled across this youtube video and it provides some pretty good information on how this particular plane was painted. Also noted that it was carrying Hound Dogs at the time of the mishap. Here is the link to the vid. Hope this helps. Don
  8. Well, as promised, here are some pics of the Lindberg 1/48 Stearman I'm building for this GB. I'm just learning how to post pics so please bear with me if I tend to mess them up. I've already cleaned up the interior and glued the resin sidewalls in place. I'll post that later. I've also started cleaning up the mold lines on the wings as well as some ejector pin marks on the wing surfaces. Makes clean-up a bit of a challenge. Heres what I'm starting with. Don
  9. Looking for this sheet to build the Vichy French AF Hawk 75. If anyone has one they'd be willing to let go, I'd be most appreciative. Don W.
  10. Looking to join in with the Lindberg 1/48 Boeing Stearman "Yellow Peril". I'll post pics soon. Will be using the Lone Star Models resin cockpit set and an Engines and Things Continental R-670 resin motor to replace the kit parts. Will be painted up as a Naval trainer. Don
  11. John, C-145A would fit right in since it's a 6th SOS asset. Can't wait to see this. Don
  12. Mike's resin is first rate. Just ordered a PT-17 cockpit and another set of T-28 wheel wells and wait time was very reasonable considering it was over the holiday season. You won't be disappointed. Don
  13. So I checked and didn't see this particular Group Build in the calendar. Is there a threshold that the poll must hit before it is considered? It seems like quite a bit of interest before I included the poll. Not sure if everyone that was interested went back and voted. Don
  14. Was trying to buy off ebay but got outbid. If anyone has one they are looking to let go, I'm willing to buy or trade. Really want the ANG markings that comes with this kit. Don
  15. Ski, Payment not necessary. Just PM me your addy and I'll get them out in next weeks mail. Don
  16. I'm interested in the ESCI MB326 $10.00. You're inbox is full. How much to send to 80918? Don
  17. Hey Ski, How many is a few? I have a pair I can give you from the Hasegawa Weapons set. Don
  18. I see your two and raise you one! Actually, I just want to finish one friggin kit this year. Maybe with the couple group builds I want to participate in, I'll be able to get at least one done. Happy New Year! Don
  19. Not sure if it will fit but I have a spare Monogram Canopy. It's yours if you want it. Don
  20. Bump. Still looking. Will trade the attack decals and rocket pods/racks for the USN trainer markings. Don
