So, to start the spirit, I am going to tackle first, a 1/48 F-4C w/ Super Scale decals, and if we have time, a 1/48 F-101B.

Rampage55 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) Sign me up! I'm planning on building a 1/48 "D-day" C-47 with EagleStrike decals. I was planning on re-scribing the whole kit, scratching a whole new interior and cockpit. and droping the flaps, but I guess I can just build it OOB. I'd also like to do a 1/48 B-25H as a USMC bird What am I thinking I will be lucky to get the C-47 done in time. Mark Edited April 29, 2007 by Rampage55 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I'm in with a 409 squadron special CF-101 Voodoo. A what if Canadian CFA-4M (OA-4M) in 1976 And IF I find the right decals a F-5F. Hopefully 2-Bobs F-5 new release will fit the bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) I'm starting out with these three: The 109 and the Helldiver were ebay wins-still "sealed in factory shrink". Not. The 109 was resealed, not bagged and has a broken vertical stabilizer. The Hellcat was courtesy of Viperguy. I plan to take this to the nth degree too. I'll even paint them per instructions-right or wrong (and they're all wrong). And if the decals are unusable, I'm hoping I can replicate them from the stash. Really don't think I'll build one in a day like I used to tho... Ken Edit: The Helldiver melted (obviously) and with the tail broken and lost on the 109, both of those are out and (so far) replaced with Revell's release of the old Monogram F4U-4.

madmike Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Welcome everyone! My choice for this GB is the 1:72 B1-B Bomber warts n all! Fox One aftermarket decals will be used MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm in for the 1/48th A-4E VMAT-201 Superscale decals and I'm stealing an extra MER from my second build 1/48th OA-4M which I'm going to build in a What if CAF fighter using the Belcher CF-5 decal sheet so I've got options. I was going to build the RF-101B (which I still might) but I don't want to make this overwhelming. Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant in West Oz Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi all, I'm going to participate by completing at least one of the following Classic Monogram kits or re-boxes. 1/77 Ford AT4 Trimotor (RAAF Ambulance) 1/48 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat (FAA Fighter) 1/48 Aurora Pfalz D.III (AWM's display) 1/24 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350-R (Wish I had a real one) Thanks for getting this GB organised and whipping the enthusiasm to the pitch it seems to have reached.

Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I am in with two MIG-17's and one F-86. One of the Migs will be from its own packaging and other one along with the F-86 are out of the classic combo kit. All will have A/M decals. First time in a long time building something strictly out of the box. I am not even going to put on seat belts. All kits will be 1/48 scale. By the way, since this is my first GB which Banner are we allowed to use and how do you attach it to your signature? Regards, Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Im in!!! I'll be doing the 1/48 F-18A with twobobs Thoroughbred Warhawks Part 2, 3-tone gray camo paint scheme. Cheers, Eric Edited April 30, 2007 by speedlimit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Davenport Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm IN. I'll commit to three birds at this point, all from WW II: 1/48 FW-190 in 70's era boxing, that will be my starting point. I need to check my paints to see which Luftwaffe colors I have. 1/48 Zero. I've got 7 Allied birds, so I'll put in a couple of Axis birds. 1/48 F4U-4 Corsair. It's the 80's boxing with Korean War decals, I'll see if I use those or the WW II decal set I have. I really want to do the P-40 too but I got started on it a while back, by simply painting the sprue with the instrument panel, wheels, and props flat black, I haven't done anything else. Would that be ok to enter too? I've got plenty more, including some Korean War birds I want to do alongside my growing WW2 collection in 1/48. The AD-6 Skyraider and F-86 Sabre, if I get the time I'll add those. I've got PLENTY of other Monogram kits, including some real space ones - but this real space nut wants to dress his kits up some so I'll stick with the WW2/Korean stuff for this GB.

gearheadrandy Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm in with the Ferrari 275P . . . Looks like a classic to me. Nineties reissue though, not a rare collectible. As usual, I opened the box when I bought the thing. Parts are still in the bag, though. There aren't too many of them (no engine). Maybe this could actually be a quick build? Nah, I'll build it in a weekend and then spend three months trying to get the finish looking decent. I still might do the HU-16B as well, if I can find the Siam Scale decals for it.

Spaced Marine Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Justin, Mike, I have no qualms with the pre-painting on the P-40 instruments and props. As I am a spammer....please report this post. says, Just do it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maveryck Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm in with a 1/48 F9F-5P, F-4J Phantom (still waiting on this one) and maybe another as yet to be determined model...still looking on ebay. Maveryck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I am in with this true "Classic"! She is a vintage 1975 Monogram 1/48 B-17G that I have aged for far too long in ths stash. Therefore, it is time to build her. I have not as yet determined what markings she will carry. I do know that it will be an olive drab over grey camo scheme, and I am thinking either "Just Plain Lonesome", "Little Patches", or "Man O War. Horse power Ltd". If time permits...a H-U-G-E "if"...I will also attempt to build a Monogram 1/48 B-24D Liberator. Both the Fort and the Lib have been locked away for too long! Regards, Don ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrs madmike Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 OK guys a GB I can join in I'm building the Monogram "Creature from the Black Lagoon" Now if I can just keep my attention to detail under control I should get it finished in time. LoriJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick95 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Cool, almost missed this down at the bottom of the forum index. I'll be in with my Monogram Mosquito II in Night-Intruder scheme. I will possibly build my F-84 as well, not sure which squadron though. SLICK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breadboard Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well, not sure I will get them done but 1/72 F4B4, Goshawk, Bearcat, Do17 and me110 should get at least 2 or three actually finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites
