Count me in with a 1/48 RoG B-58 in SEA paint scheme. I'll also plan on including an 1/48 A-6E with Paragon Wing Folds, BB Cockpit, Impact Decals USMC Intruders Part 1, VMA(AW)-224 Bengals (decided to stick with my Cherry Point MCAS theme), and possibly my CE Seamless intakes. (figured I'd start with an OOB kit, and if I finished early, I could include the one with all the bells and whistles). Will that work Mr. Ryan? ;)

OK, against my better judgment, I'm in :cheers:

I am 0-2 in completing GB's, but I am picking some low hanging fruit from the stash to try and reverse the curse. I will create individual build threads soon, but my plan is:

1/48 Revell F-14D - Mostly OOB with some scratch building and a few Steel Beach items.

1/144 Dragon B-1B - OOB (maybe add some ALE-50 towed decoys).

And if I have time:

1/180 Lindberg XB-70 - Done as a Vietnam era B-70 "What-If" in SEA camo. Kit is very basic, so the challenge there is mainly the paint job.

I know, I am 0-2 and I want to go for 3 entries? But the kits are basic enough, and as of now I should have enough time (knock on wood). Stay tuned!

Perfect! I love the B-58 and I had always wanted to see one in SEA camo. As for the A-6, it was designed from the start to drop air to ground ordnance, so it is allowed.

Aloha from Hawaii,

I'd like to join with an Academy 1/48 P-38. I'll be giving her the full ground pounding loadout with bombs and rockets.

I'm using aftermarket decals and I'm not 100% sure that that specific plane ever had that specific loadout.....is that a problem? Artistic license OK?

This would fall under the what if catagory. Therefore, it is allowed. Welcome to the group build and have fun!

Hi everyone! :thumbsup:

I have a Monogram B-52, that I've already started on another board, but I think I'm within the 30% limit as the wings and fuse aren't glued yet!

I like to join with that, if I may!

Cheers,

HÃ¥kan

Hi,

I'm going to enter with a Avro Lancaster B.1 Special. Equiped with a Grand Slam bomb. Camouflage will be post war like when it flew with No 9 Sqn during Ops Frontline missions in 1946. Dropping several of these 22.000 pounders during this operation, using targets like obsolete submarine pens.

I've bought the Eduard B.1 interior set which still has to arrive at my doorstep, but previously I allready filled the fuselage windows in, glued one wing together and also assembled the bomb. Nowhere near the 30% :rolleyes:

Hope this is going to turn out well :)

Greetings!

Hi people

My next subjet will be an anti submarine Fairey Gannet AS MK I n° 815 Naval Air Squadron Fleet Air Arm HMS ARK Royal 1956

Kit Revell 1/72 item 04397

Can I do it ???

Ettore

Cool, a Gannet. Almost never see those built. Hope to see a thread of it soon. :thumbsup:

Going to do one more. CF-116A Freedom Fighter (F-5A). 434 squadron (with 433) were the bomber squadrons with these tinker toy bombers.

Going to use the Hasegawa F-5E kit with a Belcher Bits conversion set. Surprisingly there are no decals for Canadian F-5s in 1/32 so I'll figure something out by next week.

Only other add on will be a resin ejection seat which is on route from sprue brothers.
