100th BG Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 HOO RAY! I may have a chance to finish... something... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darren Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 31st Decemeber? That's another 6 months or so. Which means I could get another Fort ordered and built Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 31st Decemeber? That's another 6 months or so. Which means I could get another Fort ordered and built Stoppit. I've got 2 I could build. Grrrr I might have to. Lol Seriously looking through all the builds how is it that no one is doing a NMF 17? Everyone's either RAF or OD/NG Kostuchas is only half!

Neo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 If i could find a cheap 1/48 kit i would build a BMF & yellow markins Fort But for now i need to finish my BMF b-25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha... very funny... Perhaps there's just something about the OD/NG looks meaner than the NMF... maybe? Anywho! I'm glad that this worked out, now back to building, right?

Bigasshammm Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Anywho! I'm glad that this worked out, now back to building, right? I haven't seen building on here in weeks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darren Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I built an overall Black so mine was different But I do an NMF one next, if "Bit O' Lace" didn't have staggered waist positions. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This is good news, the engines alone are kicking my @ss right now. I'm working on the engines for the 2 forts for this build plus the 2 that I never finished 3 years ago. I might get crazy and add another fort to this build, I've been planning on building "Fuddy Duddy" for along time now. Maybe it's time I get around to it. I've got everything I need to build her except for the serial number decal, I need to have that made or make it my self but it's gotta be in the correct font and I've never seen after market decals in the right font I need. I dont know how else to explain it but it's the stencil font, like on a bit O lace. AND, the NMF scares the hell out of me! Which is probably why nobody's doing that. I'd have to get her caught up though, maybe even get crazier and build "Sentimental Journey" as well, who knows, we shall see......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Alls I know, is that given everything except for the fuselage will be NMF (just that "tube"), I'll give you all the heads up now... start investing in stocks of any company that makes bare metal foil... I'm going to be using LOTS of the stuff! Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 This is great news and gives me another chance to join in. Well done guys. Deacon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 So I've been thinking if I ever get these projects I've got going now done I may do another little mini GB for this GB. I have a 1/72 17F, a 1/72 He111, and a 1/72nd B-24J in the mail. Might build them all at the same time. The 24J is for the local museum they asked for a J model. Color me crazy.

Army_Air_Force Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Great news for me; I was wondering if I was going to miss the deadline. Now I might be able to do my diorama full justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi, That's neat. Less pressure now, but I'll still see if I can wrap it up by the 30th of June. Maybe I could look into an NMF build later... Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy07 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Absolutely just what I wanted to hear!!!!! Another happy camper over here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaypack44 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Ooh! I just received another 48th B-17 kit in the mail, and was bummed that I'd missed the chance to get in on this, since my build speed is usually pretty slow, but I might just have to start a thread, seeing that we're extended... I've got plans to do the kit I just got as "2nd Patches," and I've got another that I was planning on doing as an SB-17G that crashed back in '51 in the mountains near my house- I've even visited the site a couple times! It was stalled because I botched the relocation of the staggered waist window, and because of insufficient references, but I may just have to try to breathe some new life into her, and get two builds going!

F4DPhantomII Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 With the R-O-Germany 1/72 kit out and Revell/ProModeler USA kit coming extension is a good idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rm20886 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi all, I see the GB has been extended. Can I jump in on this now? I just picked up a Revell 72nd scale B-17G today. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
