roym Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 So thats Roy in for a Tempest, MiG 21, Zero, Spitfire, G-91, T-2, Puma SDKFZTHINGY, Diamond T and trailer, LRDG set, Comet, USS Indianapolis, Skyservant, Beaufighter, that should keep him fairly busy for a couple of weeks ;) Julien Well, I could START that little lot, no problem. As for finishing, however..... OK. I've dragged out a Pk-31 Curtiss P-40N from the Matchbox stash, this will be a totally OOB build, only there's no box. It's a bagged kit bought on ebay. Actually, the reason it got picked is because it had no box so I couldn't feel guilty about building it. Also tempted on a PK-120 Havoc, and maybe another AH-1G. I've also recently discovered that the Irish Army used Comet tanks, and a Diamond T Transporter during the fifties. If I can get info on their colour schemes before this GB ends, I'll enter them too.

Thommo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm in JohnoJust not sure what I'll build yet - will confirm later, maybe the Corsair you sent me, perhaps a Lightening T55. Will probably be my only build this year - too bloody busy with other stuff, so glad I've got till Sept 08 to get it done. OK, it's decided. Went into a huddle with the wife & kids, choice between a Walrus, Corsair, Lightening & Buffalo and the winner is....... The Corsair ;) Gonna practice some serious weathering on this one, just add a little scratching to cockpit (IP, belts, not much more) plusa little scratching on the outside (exhausts, brake lines).

Laurent Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hello. I'm in. I'll build at least PK-122. It will be the F-16B #50751. Naive modelling again so no headbanging just pure fun: no detailing, no correcting, gear up, model on the classic clear M stand. Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2.0_Alpha Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi, I'm fairly new on this Forum, but how to resist a MATCHBOX GB? Impossible!!! My entry will be the Grumman F9F Panther (PK-124) in a Revell re-box. I'll use a few etched parts on this one, but I'm not yet sure which set I'll use, Eduard or Airwaves (Wingfold).

PolymerAddict Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well, I am currently working on my first model in 10 years <gasp> and I can tell that I will be hooked again for a while. I had been wanting to do a GB and figured this would be a great one to cut my teeth on. I have chosen the PK-410 EA-6B Prowler. I bought it off of eBay (after losing in an auction for the F-101 Voodoo) and it just arrived in the mail today, still in its' shrink wrap. I've never built a Matchbox kit, so I guess I'll see what I am getting into soon enough <_< I'll create a build progress thread once I actually start the kit. --Will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
