Rodney Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 First, I'd like to say thank you to Ken and Fuji since I think this will be a great group build. Just need to get the current F-84 complete and I plan to jump into this one. The difficult part of this group build will be choosing what to build... I have yet to come across a rule for this, so I thought I'd ask. I do have a question on if a model that is started can be entered. If so, how far along can it be? I have a 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18D with the cockpit done and the fuselage together but I was in the putty, scribe, prime, and repeat stage when it got put back in the box. Still a ways to go but it is started. Would this be eligible for this GB or do I need to pull an unstarted kit off the shelf? Thank you, Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regarding your build, personally, I don't want to get too hung up on rules, and will wait for Fuji to jump in with his opinion. Do you have any pics of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zotted Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 B-25B Doolittle Raids ok for this build? If it is, I think I still got my ACM 1/48 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EX_Birdgunner Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I am definately up for joining this GB, especially since I now have 6 Tomcats in my stash of various scale. Although, with a year for the GB timeline I could start pressing forward with my project of building all the airframes used by the Jolly Rogers. in the meantime you can put my name down with the 1/72 Hasegawa F-14D VF-2 Final Cruise.

Ken Middleton Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I do not. I can if necessary. Thank you Rodney Rodney - I spoke with Fuji, and came to an agreement that if a kit has the cockpit done and the fuselage together, then we think it is too far long to be eligible for the contest for a random prize. But please feel free to post your build as an inspiration if you would like, and thanks for wanting to participate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tempestwulf Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Oh for to love of Kiwi soverignty, is there enough ROOM in this group build for everyone to build throughout the year?

Ken Middleton Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 We would like to thank John, aka Rhinolover, for his generous contribution - a copy of "Anytime, Baby" that will be signed by numerous contributors to the book. It will be part of the Admiral's Award that Fuji mentioned previously. thanks John! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hey all. Being fairly new to the ARC, I have a few questions. First is when does the GB start and end. Second, where do I post what i'm gonna build. I may not be able to start till January though as I gotta finish my Osprey (unfortunatly to far along to include here....bummer).

EmreEfli Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hello all! I'm in with Hasegawa's A-1H Skyraider in 1/72th scale. I'll build two simultaneously, but only one of them will be Navy. Hope this is okay as I'm too lazy to take separate photos :unsure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lifeline Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'm in... I'm going to build 1/72 HH-60H from HS-2 "Golden Falcon" and SH-60B from HSL-47 "Saberhawks" in their scheme during the 2004 Tsunami relief operation. Being an Indonesian, I think this would be the right way to celebrate this event and give my tribute to these squadron... Cheers, Mario Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nitevision92 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi guys, I'm in, building a 1/48 FM-2 from Taffy 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 With such a great theme and many Navy/Marine subjects in the stash it was difficult to decide where to start. To get myself started, I will be building the EKA-3B Skywarrior in 1/72 from Hasegawa with Aeromaster decals. Been needing a good reason to move it to the top of the build pile.
