TaiidanTomcat Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm in, Just have to decide with what (will update ASAP) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm in too! As TT said, just need to decide with what, exactly! (BTW TT that sig of yours is terribly distracting!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Finished the CF-4, called it a CF-110G, going with CF-18 type paint as the green and grey looked weird. Now working on a CF-110A. RCAF F-4C circa 1965. Next, CF-18E. 2018 Edited May 14, 2013 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
su27rules Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I am in too!! :wub:/> I am planning to build a "wif" hot/rat rod. Edited February 28, 2013 by su27rules Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Will be awhile for me also but since cars and such included I'm thinking of doing a McLaren MP4-25 revell kit in the livery of the Marlboro McLarens of the early 90s. White with chevron fluo red and Marlboro decals probably from the mp4-2c kit since I have two sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Okay, figured it out! It'll be a little bit as I've got a bunch of other builds for other GBs in process or in the queue, but. There will defs be one easy build for this - BAC Lightning, Royal BC Air Force (with backstory). There will also be a Royal Canadian Navy Canadair Jacktar (what my whiff-world RCN got instead of the Banshee), this will involve the hacking and slashing of three kits. If I can figure the engineering of the build out, there may be another, more complex project, too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I want to try and finish at least 2 models for this GB. First is a Thunderbirds Mustang with the 1/72 Tamiya and Warbird Decals. The other is a Japanese F-14 with the 1/72 Hobby Boss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niki4703 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm trying to sort out things so as to advance in The National Reserves GB, but also to join in here with this: Might be a little while until I'll be able to start. As plastic goes, most likely the Fujimi MiG-21 will be used - that's a What-If by itself :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wh1skea Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I will be doing a Navy P-51D circa 1945 and probably an RAAF A-6E like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 In the early 80's after flying the P-51 for the better part of 40 years, a close encounter with Cuban Mig-21's made the Dominican government realize it was time to replace the mustangs =) (True story) The top choice to fill the void left we the F-5, but the sale was never approved and we instead received A-37's. If life permits it i would like to join in with a Dominican F-5 =) with sharmouth of course =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornet97 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Maybe a modified super tomcat from the revell f-14d kit this summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cool Hand Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm in with a 1/72 Hasegawa F-4S from VF-2. Also, I'm planning a Star Wars-ish modification of a 1/48 Hasegawa Bf 109E. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mawz Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm leaning towards an RCN Corsair, probably an F4U-4 if I can get the HobbyBoss 'Late' kit cheaply. The scheme will naturally be the Sea Fury high demarcation scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Not quite sure yet but I have an idea, that I think is within my means. In 1938 Curtiss proposed a P-36 powered by a 1600 hp Wright R-2600 instead of the 1000-1200 hp radials of the existing design. This was expected to provide a top speed of 360 mph which would have made it faster than most fighters in 1940-41. The USAAC wanted an inline engine which led to the P-40, and the Navy turned the concept down cold ranking it dead last out of 10 aircraft proposed. There is very little information on this concept aircraft so it seems like a perfect time to play with it. I have a spare B-25 cowling and prop which should take care of the R-2600. Due to the heavier engine, I'm deleting the nose guns and putting 4 .50 cals in the wings which would be ample firepower for 1940. Looking at Naval fighter designations it would appear F14C would be appropriate (the real F14C being a 1944 proposal), and of couse with the hawk name, Seahawk seems appropriate. Like the Corsair a large fighter like this would be cumbersome on a carrier deck, so the USMC will accept delivery.

dylan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 well I have been dying to build one of my academy F-22's as in RCAF markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plane bum Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 How bout a navalised a-10 using the 1/72 hobbyboss n/aw a-10 2-seater im actually building it it will be done this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I saw this on the discount shelf of Hobby Lobby for 1 dollar and could not pass it up. I is supposed to be for Cub Scouts pine wood derby kits. I am not sure what I will do with it yet but this will be my first build. If there is time left, I have had a TSR2 in the stash for a while that I will probably do something with.

ed_s Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm a little late getting started. It's been a busy couple of weeks. I have a 1/72 Monogram F-82G that will become and F-82K CAS/Coin Attack a/c. I'm still undecided as to the colors and markings. Still have some time to decide.

Wege Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I have an A6M3 that I would like to mess about to be WHIFFED.... and hopefully with a plausible back-story... Edited March 29, 2013 by Wege Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think I am going to get in with another build. I have an Airfix 1:72 TSR 2 that I have been wanting to build for a few years. I think I am going to make it a Japanese aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I've picked up a KittyHawk Mirage F1B and it's going to be SAAF. Hopefully I'll get some time with it soon. Had it sitting in a Fantastic and Windex bath today trying to rid the plastic of that really slippery feeling it has. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niki4703 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi guys, I won't be starting with the South African MiG-21 after all. That will come second. Instead I will be tackling a Romanian Air Force F-16. Why? Kindly check the in progress thread :) Niki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I am going to start on another. This time it will be a Viper prototype from the BSG universe. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornet97 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 May build a WHIF uss kittyhawk in 2021 off vietnam with some mods and new aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
