EmreEfli Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Okay, I'll definitely join this group build. I have three possible kits, but I don't know which one I'll build. My options: 1. 1/48 Eduard Bf 110D, with mottles and a big sharkmouth. 2. 1/72 Trumpeter F-105G with a sharkmouth, just received this today from a friend... only problem is the painting/decalling instructions are missing. 3. Hasegawa's 1/48 P-400 kit, it actually has two sharkmouth options in the kit, but the canopy is problematic... must find a vacuform replacement. Most possibly I'll start with the Eduard Bf 110D. May also build the F-105 along, as it will be easier to complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let us know what you decide so I can edit the list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've tried to steer clear of GB's as I recently over committed myself to several which resulted in no builds being completed. But this one seems fun, so I'd like to join in with this........... Cheers Deacon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Ok....I'm in. I'll follow Mikkels lead with a Tamiya F-51D in 1/48...not sure which sharkmouth yet...Bolivian,Cuban,Dominican or Guatemalan...could do them all have the decals and kits....but baby steps..lol Also have suitable sharkmouth decals for atleast a dozen F-4's plus F-15's,F-16's,A-7's.....the list goes on so no excuses on my part for this GB.

sharkmouth Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Oh my! With a name of sharkmouth, how can I stay out of this? Now to decide what to build. Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Time permitting (and if I can find the decals)....I will also be building a 1:32nd A-10 from the 74th FS to serve as a companion to the F-16D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) If someone would like to tackle a conversion of the Kinetic S-2E kit into an S-2A and build the Thai bird below, send me a PM. I need photos of a built example for my gallery; and I think it would make a good Sharkmouth GB entry. Decals for this scheme are on my International S-2 sheet.

wh1skea Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm in with a 1/48 Revell-o-gram F-106. Decals for 59-0043. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darren Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Could I join in with a Hasegawa F-14A in VF-111 markings please? And I may include a 1/144 F-14D in VF-101 markings too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 If someone would like to tackle a conversion of the Kinetic S-2E kit into an S-2A and build the Thai bird below, send me a PM. I need photos of a built example for my gallery; and I think it would make a good Sharkmouth GB entry. Decals for this scheme are on my International S-2 sheet. Wow, I know of a resin update set coming and possibly the conversion but it may be a while before I get the test shots. So, I did some looking into the Grumman G-89 Tracker depicted: Construction number 597 was an S-2F-1 (later re-designated S-2A) with serial 136688 built for the USN. When transferred to the Royal Thai Navy, it received Buzz numbers 688 then 09 and was based at RTNB U-Tapao with the 1st Wing of the 101 Squadron. Here is a photo: A stable mate, S-2A, construction number 398, serial 136489, went directly to the Royal Thai Navy whereby it received the buzz nuymbers 489, 107, and finally 1107. Here is a photo and note the faded 1107 on the nose next to the shark mouth: On the tail fin, we see where the buzz number was relocated. Now, looking over the sheet, I did not see 688, or 09, to use on the tail fin but I did see 1107... Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to my resources it currently wears the Thai serial 1107 and is the only aircraft adorned with that sharkmouth in the Thai Navy.

mungo1974 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Bolivian F-51's are a attention getter for sure! Work & family commitments mean it'll be acouplr of weeks before i can join in the fun...you'll most likely have your Dominican bird done by then!

Mark M. Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Well shoot. I was going to say "might as well sign me up" for a Hobbyboss A-7H with tiger meet markings. Seen here: Only problem is.. er.... no teeth! D'oh! I thought they showed around the intake, but nope. Guess this bird's got her gums covered. D'oh! Okay, guess I'll just watch and enjoy for now :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
