phantom Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This is the semi official group build guide lines rules and such for the Search and Rescue group build on ARC. Elmo and I had a nice drive to visit another member of the Canadian model mafia, on route we figured out the who's whats and whys. Here they are......... Group build begins January 1st 2015 and ends six months later June 30 2015. Any airplane, boat , truck or what the heck ever whose MAIN purpose is rescuing people. This means, any airframe whose primary job is rescuing people, has a causality evacauation capability. Such as a Huey equipped with litters and medical equipment. Any airframe whose main job is to aid the search of people. Preferably with SAR markings such as a SAR Lancaster with great big RESCUE painted on the side or red cross. (for example) Any airframe modified for the SAR job, an example would be a CC-130 Herc with the jump door replaced with the search bubble as used by 424 SAR squadron. CSAR airframes whose MAIN job is the rescue and removal of the injured. That means the helicopter has stretchers and med kit aboard. It might have a M-60 hanging out the door but an airframe with side mounted rockets, 10 machine guns and nuclear bombs would not be primarily tasked as the SAR airframe. An A-1 Skyraider with 16 250 lb bombs is not a SAR airframe. Did it help in the process? Yes. Did it have a medic on board to deal with injuries? No. A fire truck. Yep. Might carry a para medic and I never met a fire dept. yet that did not have advanced first aid training. A ambulance. Yep, goes with out saying an ambulance , military or civi is good. A water bomber, yep. Its main job is putting out fires so people and property can be rescued. It does not do "suppressive fire". Also adds colour to the GB. An F-16 doing orbiting patrol? Nope. F-16s have a heck of a time rescuing people while launching Sidewinders. A Sea King on plane guard duties. Yep. Main job is to pick up downed fly guys. Standard requirment. A thread with the model before you start, during and finish. Model must be fresh out of the box or VERY lightly stated. Like JUST the cockpit or some other minor assembly. Any after market you want. Any markings. What ifs are welcome but we would prefer semi realsitic. No Starship Enterprises with red crosses on the side. Of course you COULD do the USS Pasture. As of now we do not have any sponsors. IF you want to sponsor that would be great and we can do up a banner with your name on it. But please remember any sponsor is going to need to mail out the prizes themselves after they are drawn. My last GB had me mailing stuff across oceans and got kind of expensive. So, get some colour on your shelves and do a model. Elmo.......Anything else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Have fun..... share stories ..... The end result is what we are looking for...... I am hoping someone does a M-113 with the big red cross on it's side. Or even a Rescue Raptor From BSG..... But no X-Wings or Klingon Birds of prey. I'll even ok a space 1999 rescue Eagle.

Drifterdon Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 My New Years Revolution is to finish something this year. I'm in with a Monogram HU-16 Albatross with SAC markings. I don't think SAC used them to drop Nukes. :D/> Just ditched Nukers.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I wouldn't mind doing a MH-60M, but now I'm waiting for Blackops models to make their MH-60M resin detail set come January,so I don't know if I'll have it done by the deadline. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 One possible exception to the A-1 might be the A-1E that landed in the middle of a field to pickup another pilot during intense weapons fire from the enemy who was trying to capture that shot down pilot. He received the Medal of Honor and his gray/white aircraft is on display at the U.S.A.F. Museum. I'm also thinking about adding another HU-16, this time from the Royal Thai Navy, or a C-47, if I can figure how to get pictures into photobucket again. It's a shame I don't have any of these laying around anymore: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be for a Hero's or Medal of Honour GB. Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winnie Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I wish I had the time, I have in my stash a Royal Norwegian Air force Sea King that needs assembly. Perhaps I'll look into that... But first, a month of work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I might try to get into this. I've got three options to go with. Either a Washington National Guard UH-60L that has been used the past few years for fire suppression, an MH-60S from NAS Whidbey Island, or a mock-up of the HH-60W Pave Hawk using the Academy MH-60S as a base.

dnl42 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'll be building an Amodel 1/144 Albatross in USCG markings. I was close to keeping the Mafia happy with Amodel's Lancaster 10MR, but picked up their Dambuster boxing instead... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
