Centennial - So many projects - just enough time to do 'em!


Recommended Posts

So, its a full year long build - What are you going to tackle? I have a few things I'd like to tackle to pull myself out of my modeling slump. Here's my list

1. F-5F Frankentiger- VFC-111 (gotta be done :D )

2. F4F Wildcat - VF-11 Sun Downers @ Guadalcanal

3. ** Top Secret ** :)

As you can see, these are "simple" builds so I can hopefully have some visible progress to keep me going.

So, what's on your "To Do" List? Can't wait to see what you guys have planned!

1/48th hasagawa A-7E Corsair II with Aeromaster VA-82 decals.

Maybe another Tomcat or a Helo depending on how detailed i get on the SLUF

I intend to do a bunch.

All CVW-8 or aggressors and all 1/48.

VF-74 F-4J 1973

VF-74 F-4J 1976

VAQ-141 EF-18G once the decals come out

VAW-124 E-2C

VF-142 F-4J 1974

a couple A-4s maybe F-16s.

Could do a couple 1/32 big scale aggressors as well.

I'll build a couple over the year I'm sure.

1: I'm about to start a F4u-1 Corsair 1/32 (old Revell kit) *Christmas present for my dad

2: Italeri 1/48 F/A-18F 2 seat Superhornet with an as yet unidentified cockpit set. (thanks to Frankycee)

I'm sure over next year I'll build a few more Navy birds.

I'm in the process of finishing a 1/72nd A-6E for the DS GB.

A model shop on my favourites list has a half price stock sale. Unfortunately, I hadn't visited the site in a long time, and I found out a bit late. But I did manage to get a Hasagawa A-4E/F Skyhawk "VC-1" Limited Edition Series and a Hasagawa F/A-18F Super Hornet "VFA-41 Black Aces CAG" Limited Edition Series. And a day later I read about this GB.

So as soon as the postman drops off of the parcel, I'll be able to join in.

Great idea for a Group build!! I have a few i should be able to do.

Trumpeter AV-8B Harrier II

Trumpeter A-7E Corsair II

Tamiya F-4J Phantom II

Either a Tamiya F-14 or a Trumpeter F/A-18F

All in 1/32

Don't know the order i'll build or the markings for most. Should be fun!!

Might add a couple more Phantoms, I do have an entire year after all.

Oh..... a couple days off has provided me a good amount of model making time. Might have something to show by the end of the weekend.

As one of my builds, I was contemplating this scene

http://www.navy.mil/management/photodb/pho...N-0226M-117.jpg

but with the main gear already on the deck, as extending the main gear legs would be a real challenge. The nose gear would off still and extended, and wire hooked. That jet is on Two Bobs Shade of Grey Omars sheet, but just to add the 4 on the modex

Wow, Naval aviation is better represented in my stash than I expected. I was going to make a joke to my wife about not having anything to wear for the GB but guess I better keep my trap shut. :thumbsup:

I'll start off with some 1/72 yellow wings, then see what kind of mood I'm in after that.

I'd like to jump in with my 1/48 Revell F-14A Tomcat with VF-1 "Wolfpack" High-vis markings.

I might have more to jump in with. I have a Super Bug in the stash and I plan on getting the S-3B Viking with X-mas money.
