dnl42 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Name: Skis and Floats, Anything But Wheels Dates: TBD Mods: dnl42 and vince14 Info: This GB is prompted by the Vintage Wings great article, Skis and Floats, Anything But Wheels. While this highly recommended article focused on combat aircraft, military trainers, and transport aircraft, this GB will include any aircraft, fixed wing or rotary, any scale, that had/has floats or skis, even if just under a test program, like the F4F-3S Wildcatfish. This is a great opportunity to do something unique, like a P-38 on skis, or perhaps something as ubiquitous as a Beaver or Otter on floats.

nickdanger Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Name: Spitfire: 80th Anniversary Group Build Dates: March 5, 2016 - January 1, 2017 Mods: nickdanger, ? Link to planning thread Description: Thought it would be nice to start the GB next year on the 80th anniversary of the Spitfire's first flight, March 5, 1936 (though there is some confusion) and run it through the anniversary of the last operational RAF flight, January 1, 1951. While it's a subject that is already quite popular, the last few years have been good to Spitfire fans with excellent kits at a variety of scales and Marks from multiple kit manufacturers.

yardbird78 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) NAME: Recce Birds, Part Deux Dates: March 1 though Sept 1, 2016 Moderator(s) yardbird78 Link to Planning Thread: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=290955 Description: This GB would be open to any machine that managed to get airborne with the intention of collecting intelligence information. This would include visual, photo, SIGINT, COMINT or ELINT. Anything from a hot air balloon with a guy with binoculars to the most modern manned jets and drones. Any country, any time frame, any scale, even What If's. Beginning with an unstarted kit would be nice, but I would agree to anything up to 75% already completed. Maybe this would get a few of those "shelf queens" back in action. Edited February 23, 2016 by yardbird78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Name: Heavies GB Dates: whenever?!? Mods: Bigasshammm + (help!) Link to planning thread Template poll page Description: Bombers. Who doesn't love bombers? Anything and everything that was purpose built to drop bombs. Includes medium and lighter range bombers as long as their primary function is to bomb. Does not include multi-role fighters that have been adapted for a bombing role. Still should be plenty of larger aircraft and interesting planes to be built. Any scale accepted builds need be less than 15-20% complete at beginning of the buid. Cockpit work or minor construction ok. case by case basis if needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
