Check Six Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 We're waiting for the official word on the July start from the Mod Team. Ah! So it's not even officially approved yet. The bureaucracy runs rampant here, I tell ya ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 So.... officially, it's unofficial until the officials make it official and we officially get the current unofficial start date until the officials officially make that official as well........correct?

tosouthern66 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 when someone designs one and we get close to opening up the build in July, i guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Well, great! We're officially on! Thank you to the mod team for the nod. As far as banners, there is a member here on ARC who has volunteered to do banners for the different group builds, so I'll contact him soon and we'll get the ball rolling on that. Once those are available, I'll let people know. I'd also like to welcome our newest sponsor, F4DableModels! The Legacy Hornet factors in big with their product line, so I want to thank Jason Cheah and F4DableModels for the sponsorship!

Crazy Snap Captain Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm definately in for this! I have a 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18E in the stash with all the AM! Great excuse to finally pull my finger out and get it done. Bring it!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TaiidanTomcat Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I would recommend taking this requirement away, in case someone wants to do the French Hornets that almost happened. There are plenty of almosts with this bird that would be ruled out if you stood with this rule. Agreed. It would also be fun to have USAF F-17s or EF-18Gs too. and if you go with "production" F-17s you can have Netherlands, Norway, Israel etc. Could be a lot more fun: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that's possibly my third build I have planned. Being rather new to the Fleet, a nice and clean (Little weathering) Growler would be a fine addition to my GB .

Colin K Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Still not feeling the vibe with "what-if" builds. BUT, I will pose this question. Those of you have have said that there should be "what-if" builds allowed, would you then participate in the build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would like to see more interest though before I'd change my mind on it. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those of you have have said that there should be "what-if" builds allowed, would you then participate in the build? Disclaimer: I'm in, regardless . Would a 'what if' include something like doing a SEA camo scheme on an F-18F? Or an ME/BF-109 camo scheme? Disclaimer #2: Only out of curiosity: Why no 'what if's'? I don't mind/care either way; I'm easy. There are 52 'yes' votes for the GB but I don't know if that's a low, med, or high vote count. I'll assume, in general, a high vote count for a proposed GB is ideal If you happen to end up allowing 'what if's', I'm definitely going to do an F-18 in a historical camo scheme that I like. The SEA camo scheme and the British dark two color camo scheme comes to mind. I have two that's already planned and a possible third. That will be the third F-18 build for me if it is allowed. Which ever way you decide to finalize, I'll fully support your decision . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So hopefully this question isn't too off-topic, but it is with a view to preparing for this GB... what are 1/72 Hornets worth buying? I've only ever built the RoG kit. I see the Academy kit is pricier than Hasegawa, RoG, Hobby Boss... is the higher price reflective of better quality? How is the HB F/A-18A? Or Hasegawa's, for that matter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B2Blain Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Can we start in January? I can't wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
