xmh53wrench Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How done can it be? I have a 1/24 Hobby Craft P-51D I have started, that I haven't posted on ARC. Engine, cockpit, prop and landing gear started, but nothing finished up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mynameismatt Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Considering how SLOW I build this is more of a wish list.... but.. 1/32 Trumpeter A-4C (AMS resin conversion) 1/32 Tamiya F-15C - Desert Storm "Gulf Spirit" and maybe... 1/32 Trumpeter SBD Dauntess in "operation torch" markings wish me luck!

xmh53wrench Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Sweet, Ax, bet that's a lunker on 1/32. Thanks PNW, I will post up tonight! ...and good luck Matt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm in with a 1/32 CF-104, natural metal finish with Wintervalley RCAF decals, and True Details cockpit set. I would love to build a few more, but time is being shared with the Living History GB. Wish list to build (1/32 scale): 1. CF-104 mentioned already 2. CF-18 with resin cockpit set 3. BAe Hawk 115 (NFTC) as soon as it arrives from Lucky Model and maybe a 1/24 scale Mustang (Airfix) with City of Winnipeg kit decals As you can see, a bit ambitious. But as we in this GB will soon start to say: "go big, or go home!" Questions: 1. Is it kosher to post two threads for one build in two GBs? Living History will qualify for the first 3 builds, and I'd like to copy/paste between the two, maybe adding more detail to Living History? 2. I might have a 1/32 kit to donate as a prize - interested? ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Alf, normally each group build gets its own model. Unless of course your doing two of the same kit. One for each GB. But this is really up to the two people running both separate GBs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are welcome to add a thread and show us your handy work, but those builds would not qualify for raffle prizes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 No problem - for the big CF-104, I'll do this GB only, because size really does matter... ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks to Iron Man, a CF-104 Starfighter with Leading Edge decals. Overall Green scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EX_Birdgunner Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I never knew this GB was coming up! Hmmm...I'm very tempted to enter with one of the 1/32 Tomcats I have on the shelf, a Revell one to be exact. I have never built a 1/32 plane before so that would be my first.

dmthamade Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hello Everyone!! Would like to join in on the GB. Don't know what i'll be doing, choices are a Trumpeter Harrier + in Italian markings, a Trumpeter Swordfish, or a Trumpeter P-38 Lightning. Maybe i'll do two, we have to September.

CorsairMan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I really want in but my GB is coming up in March... If I can clear up a couple projects in January then I am in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 What about big scale autos? I've got a few 1/12 F1 cars that I'll get to eventually. Maybe I'll push one up and do it during this time frame. Or I'll have a 1/9 Ducatti 996 in a few weeks. Which is bigger than the typical 1/12 scale for bikes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EX_Birdgunner Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Well, I took the 1/32 Revell F-14A Tomcat down off the shelf last night to look it over and decided to take the plunge and join in. I will build it in VF-84 scheme (from Final Countdown) with decals coming from an old Tamiya kit. I will most likely keep it OOB as I am on a limited budget, although the decals are old and kinda yellowing so I might be foreced to source new ones. I'll try to get a thread started this weekend.

Neo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Big aircraft only Does this include helos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Does this include helos? Neo, I've gotten a few more inquires about helos as well. I thought the best and fairest way to decide was to make a poll and let the builders decide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
