Fellow Hobbyist Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I will be finishing a 1:144 scale C-5 Galaxy from Anigrand depicting a transport belonging to the 439th Airlift Wing at Westover ARB. The decals are furnished by Draw Decals. Edited January 15, 2013 by Fellow Hobbyist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Put me down for a VTANG EB-57B. I've got the Italeri B-57G and if I leave off the parts for the big nose, come up with a couple of under wing tanks and a bunch of little antennae under the belly, it'll pass. I'll do markings for "Ole Buckshot" which is a gate guard now. ADF gray with black and orange swoops on the nose. Here's one at DM in the markings I'm going to try and cobble together.

wh1skea Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm in. I'll be doing a VFC-13 F-5E. Its an old 1/48 Monogram kit I've got in the stash. With some TwoBobs decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Throwing my hat in the ring with a 1/48 scale Pro Modeler F-102. Markings 11th FIS, Texas ANG. First step to re-scribe the beast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I plan to participate with the new 1/144th Revell F-16. I'll be building it as a Kansas ANG F-16A using Flying Papas decals. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Viper Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Found this GB just in time. Decision for the next model in line was up and I have a P-47N lying around with Hawaiian ANG decals. That one is perfect for this I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 So many great subjects on the list but we need to finish some to catch up to Shawn.;)/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Can I play? I have a Hasegawa F-4E in 1/72 which I would like to build as this aircraft from the Jyizee Nashna gaad (New Jersey National Guard) http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-4E/1169748/&sid=51152ff06f3eb625935cc40bb0f4e494 Edited February 14, 2013 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Sure can and here is a picture of the other side. http://www.airliners...35cc40bb0f4e494 and the same one in gray. http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-4E/1171865/&sid=78ffb0b4c56fb96b208bb1108d073e66 I have one of these on my build list also.

mawz Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Going to do a second build for this one. I noticed that while we have a nice selection of RCAF reserve stuff along with the ANG, USMC and USN Reserve builds, there isn't a single Royal Auxiliary Air Force build. So I'm going to build a Spitfire F22 of 603 'City of Edinburgh' Squadron, RAuxAF. Box markings from Airfix's recent 1/72 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Was thinking about what was next and since nobody has built any US Army National Guard stuff yet that maybe I havn't built any armor in over 20 years and this kit has been sitting even longer. Originaly wanted to build it in a winter scheme of Dark Green and White but the Grey Desert scheme for the Califirnia M109 is sharp also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm jumpin' in with a brand-spankin' new 1/72 scale Airfix F-51D built as an 188th Fighter Squadron, New Mexico Air National Guard machine using Ventura decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo 53 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Here's what I'm building ; The 1/72 Revell HH-3E The Helo will be finiahed in the Euro One camo scheme in use with the New York ANG . One of my aircraft reference books has several pictures of this Helicopter which I'll be using as a guide for my build . I don't have any specific decals , only some black and low viz letters/numbers to coble together . I see Hi-Decal is one of the sponsor's of the this GB . I went looking through my decal stash and found some nice Hi-Decal 1/72 A-10A Thunderbolt decals for the New York ANG for the period around 1982 . This would make a nice compainon for the HH-3E build , so I'll think about adding that one later on . Helo 53. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo 53 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 This will be my second build once I complete the HH-3E Helo Academy's 1/72 A-10A Thunderbolt II using the Hi-Decal 72-010 , option 4 New York ANG One of my reference books has some nice colour pic's of the New York ANG A-10A Looking forward to building the kit .

Aaronw Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ok, I've found my subject, I'll be doing a USAF Reserve HH-34J Chocktaw. During the Vietnam war the USAF was facing a shortage of rescue helicopters. This along with the retirement of the HU-16 Albatross found many Air Force Reserve units short of aircraft. As a short term fix in 1971 some retired SH-34J Seabats were acquired from the US Navy, re-equipped for the rescue mission and supplied to three USAF Reserve Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadrons as the HH-34J Choctaw. I'll be using the Italeri 1/72 UH-34J kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 The HH-34J sounds like an interesting one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Up next....... Puerto Rican ANG F-104C from the early 1970's using the 1/72 scale Monogram kit and Propacteam Decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Great choice! I was waiting for someone to build a Starfighter here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) With the F-106 rounding the corner I started to think about what was next. I know I said I wanted to build that M109 from the California NG but this F-4B from VMFA-321 is calling me. Going to be built on a 1/72 Fujimi F-4B Edited May 6, 2013 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 With not much left on the F-16 I think the next one for me is a F-105B in 1/72. It will have the 108th TFW 141st TFS markings and I haven't completely decided yet but I think it will be in silver instead of the SEA paint. I haven't done anything in natural in a while.

Pete Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Now that my F-14 is finished, it's time to start my next build. It will be a 1/72 Fujimi A-7D in Pennsylvania ANG markings, using the kit decals and some Airdoc decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Looks like a good one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Maybe someone will get a chopper GB going or something that it will fit in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
