tosouthern66 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 So last night I remembered that stashed away in my Cave of Doom is the old Monogram "Three Fighting Men" Vietnam Memorial Statue kit. I know this kind of out of the theater of battle and it was quite some time after the war ended but would this in some way fit in with the GB theme? Dan It is a memorial to those who fought in the war so it's OK with me! I remember seeing that kit when I was a kid, but never was into figures and statues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Cool beans! Looks like I'm in with this one as well. I really needed this GB to get off my butt and get something finished. :thumbsup:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think it's a fantastic idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing that kit when I was a kid, but never was into figures and statues. Me too.. I do have to warn you though, if the kit is anything like the one I built, get ready for some swearing and a few moments of being really peed off... Harald Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 There are fit problems with that kit. Wasn't it originally issued by Lindberg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 There are fit problems with that kit. Wasn't it originally issued by Lindberg? Not sure who originally issued this kit. Mine is a bagged one that I believe was released my Lindberg. It's buried away so I did a Google search and found Monogram had also released it. It was a clearance deal at Hobby Lobby and when I started to dry fit the parts, I tossed it back in the bag. Fit problems is an understatement! Only 9 more days!

Litvyak Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Once my hand heals up, if I'm still able to use it well enough to build models, I'm going to start in with a USAF RF-4C "Carolina Kangaroo" flown by an exchange pilot from the RAAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MZagami Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi guys!! I´m planning on building a Trumpeter RA-5C in 72 sclale in SEA cammo. Cheers and thanks for the warm welcome Mario Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I am starting off with this Fujimi 1/72 A-7A. I just need to get decals, the Blue Blazers decals with the kit are circa 1976. I found some Microscale that I am hoping are early 70s Vietnam cruise decals. Sheet 72-162 Blue Blazers. If I get time I am also looking at an F-4J of the Ghostriders and the good old Revell 1/72 Fat Face Skyraider, I hope.---John Edited August 25, 2015 by john53 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bikerider Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've got a Revell 1/48 Intruder, and decals for a plane from the Enterprise circa 1965. Think I'll see if I can find time (and space on my work table) to get this done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So I'm planning on doing the Tamiya Skyraider in 1/48 as Capt Richard Drury's "Midnight Cowboy" for this group build. I have the Cutting Decals for this plane but the outline for the TC tail code seems a bit yellow in color. Does anyone have a spare TC with the tan outline from any of the Aeromaster 1/48 Air War in Vietnam - Skyrader sheets? They would be for either the "Orient Express" A-1E, "Cool Fool" A-1H, or "Stump Jumper" A-1H. If have and don't plan on using I'll gladly purchase or trade for them?

Spectre711 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Once my hand heals up, if I'm still able to use it well enough to build models, I'm going to start in with a USAF RF-4C "Carolina Kangaroo" flown by an exchange pilot from the RAAF. I know what you mean. Haven't touched a thing in 7 weeks because I pulled a trapezius muscle. Just when I think I'm good I go and aggravate it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
