plasticWerks_JL Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Would possibly be interested with one or more of the following: F-20 Tigershark X-29 RAH-66 Commanche Any issues with these not fitting the scope of the GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rightwinger26 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Crap, I forgot about this GB, I'm half way finished with a 1/48th Dark Shark! Oh well, maybe I can find something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I just picked up decals for a Operation Crossroads F6F-5K, the drones that measured radiation levels after the atomic bomb tests. Would that count as a test bird? I'm doing an F8F for the Vietnam group build and an F7F-2N for the nightfighter build so a Hellcat for this one would round out a trio of cats.

falcon20driver Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I had to look up pictures of those Hellcats. Yes, I believe they fall into the spirit of the build. They're a squadron involved in testing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamitri Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Ok another idea popped intoy head, how about a/c from the weapons squadrons and air warfare center @ Nellis ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yup, as long as its a test squadron and not a normal squadron. Any VX type squadron would be welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnr Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Don't forget this one. This one or this one. Been there - done that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnr Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It would suit me - that's all I build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hey guys and gals. I know we are still a few months away but I'm very happy to see such a high interest rate in this build. 54 Yes votes! I have not announced any raffle prizes as of yet, but maybe I'll dig something up, stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Just a friendly bump to keep this in everyone's mind. I've been planning my display idea, hopefully it'll look good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 There are so many options to choose from and so little time! :lol:/> Like some others in this thread, I tend to really like test/research aircraft. While trying to narrow my choices down, I noticed that the QF-4N on my model shelf could use a companion. I have not done a delta wing aircraft in quite some time, so I am leaning towards a QF-102 or QF-106 as my contribution to this GB. As these drones are used primarily in testing, I would think that one of them would qualify. Of course, I could easily be distracted and pick up another test aircraft (ooo look, a squirrel!!!!). :rofl:/> Have fun modeling Mike :cheers:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Is it open to civil test aircraft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Absolutely, any test aircraft is welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
