JasonW Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Okay, it looks like we're in business. The preliminary rules that have been established thus far are: The build runs from 1 March 2011 until 1 Sept 2011. People can build anything they want with the emphasis to be to build a model that Matt talked about/showed/dealt with in "anyway" on the forum. Wayne and I have volunteered to mod, but if there are a couple of others willing to help, please let us know. I can't speak for Wayne, but I would definitely appreciate the help as I was not terribly familiar with Matt's work so if anybody was close to Matt and could share some insight that would be great. I've seen lots of different comments made regarding what to build, I think keeping it open might be the best approach at this time. Elsewhere on ARC and other forums I've seen a signature banner for the "Rumourmonger" if anybody can post that for everybody to use that would be helpful also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 IM willing to help to mod this GB i dont have experience in being a mob but im a Software programmer so i guess the technical challenges wont be a problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm in with a Kinetic EA-6B, and if it's a "3-footer" I have a built-in excuse: "It's how Matt would have wanted it!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I would love to participate. All depends on how I do with my 2 current GB builds. If I do go ahead, it will either be a Tamiya F-16C in 1/48 or a Dragon P-51D in 1/32. Edit: A few more in the stash that were at one point mentioned by Matt... HB 1/72 A-7A, RM 1/48 SuperHornet, Eduard 1/48 F6F and a big surprise for me is the Revell Germany 1/48 Mosquito. That one will be considered also.

strikeeagle801 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm in with my Tamiya F-16 project. Still planning on selling it on E-bay to raise money for his family. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neeko Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm in... I have a 1/48 Hobbyboss A-7A that will be built in Matt's honor- loaded to the gills with bombs too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rampage55 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 One of the kits that reminds me of Matt, besides the 1/48 Kinetic F-16, is the 1/48 Airfix Spitfire MkI. It was one of the first in-progress threads I remember him making and being a Spitfire freak myself I enjoyed following his progress on it. So I've decided to build an Airfix Spitfire MkI OOB in honor of Matt. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne S Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hopefully I can get my builds done on time. Matt was or did build the 366th "WG" Gunfighters F-15E. I would like to build most of its brothers, I have the kits and decals to build these. 366TH Fighter wing F-15E Gunfighters "FW" bird. 366TH Fighter wing F-15C Gunfighters "OG" bird. 366TH Fighter wing F-15E T-Bolts "389th FS" bird 366TH Fighter wing F-15C Wild Boars "390th FS" bird 366TH Fighter wing F-15E Bold Tigers "391st FS" bird.

I decided on the Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat since it will coincide with one of the special categories at this years CAMS show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I know Matt talked about the Kinetic 1/48 Tracker, and I've just ordered it from Lucky Model. Hopefully it arrives in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I am in, it looks like I have a Kinetic F-16I heading my way, thank you Song! I will be doing a what if and painting it in USAF colors with Afterburner decals and staying with what comes in the box. Planning on doing a fun, no frills, no stress build which should be a fitting tribute. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to enter with something from Hobbyboss,either the Tornado or the F-111.Kinetic kits are hard to get hold of for me with my current situation (out of work) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt and me were chatting via PM about the pro/cons of the Academy/HobbyBoss kits only days before his passing. So id like to finish one in his memory. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It is thanks to Matt's posts that I learned about the AFV Club 1/48 F-5E. So it think it is fitting to build one for this GB! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi, I'll join in with the Hobbyboss 1/72 "Easy assembly authentic kit" FM-2 Wildcat. The main link with Matt for me is that he'd have encouraged us to try something new and give a Hobbyboss kit a chance. It's my first of these "Easy assembly athentic kits". I also saw that Matt posted a short guide to USN aircraft colour schemes in 1940-42 as a reply to question in his last months. I bought the kit with this GB at the back of my head the day after Matt's funeral. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
