My first entry will be the 1/48th Testors SR-71 which I will be modifying to be an A-12 using the Kiwi Resins conversion set. I started this kit-conversion about a year ago and did about a quarter of the work before it got pushed into a corner and replaced by other projects.

I'll be building a de Havilland RU-6A Beaver that flew with the 146th Radio Research Company, "The Snoopers." The kit: Airfix 1/72 DHC-2 Beaver, Kit #3017. I built one of these a couple of years ago (Hobby Craft kit), and liked building it, so I thought I'd do it again, only better this time. This is one of those old birds that just won't stop flying. I live on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, where the sky is full of float planes all summer, and a good many of these are Beavers, some of which can be traced back to Vietnam, where they were used to locate "Charlie." I just won the kit on e-Bay. I'll send pics when I receive it.

My original plan of doing a 1/48 Hasegawa RF-4C has changed to the Monogram SR-71. My previous build of the Habu was crushed during a recent move. I'm going to do it as an "In-flight" build.

Once the Habu is done, I have a Valom RF-101C I'll do.

Looking forward to this group build.

Mike

I'd like to joint with a Welsh Boeing E-7A Wedgetail.

WTParts_2.jpg

It has been started and stalled for some time but has a lot more to do on it. Here it is as it stands. Plenty to do in terms of assembly and scribing.

Would a Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force UP-3D qualify for this GB?

If I understand their mission correctly, the P-3 Orions of US, Canada, Japan, etc all monitor bad guy submarine activities. That constitutes gathering intelligence, so you are good to go with this entry. What scale and manufacturer will this be? Welcome to the GB.

May I join your group build with a 1/48th Hawk kit of the U-2C? I raided hubby's stash for it and it will be the first model I have built in about 3 years. I would like to finish it in that really dark blue of the early U-2s before they started painting them black.

The UP-3D is an ELINT training aircraft. I have the 1/72 Hasegawa kit.

Glad to see a U-Bird get in on the action. Your models that I have seen in the past are excellent. Welcome to the GB.

I would like to join this group build with a Hasegawa 1/48th scale S35E Draken.

I will probably scratchbuilt some cameras and replace the ejection seat with a resin version. Also, I have yet to decide on the colour scheme.

Great choice. I grew up just a few miles from the Peoria, Illinois Airport where they had/have a Guard unit. I watched the transition from F-51s to F-84F's.

Welcome to the GB.

What??? No RF-84F??? I guess I will have to enter with the new Tanmodel 1/48th scale RF-84F then, if it is ok that I have started building it.Yay or nay?

Jens

Great choice. Good to go and welcome to the GB.

Hi,

Cool, a recce GB!

There are quite a few recce subjects that I'd like to build. I will not start this one before I finish the two Spitfires that I have going for the Spitfire GB.

My entry for this GB has its roots in that GB, though. I added the exhausts before I saw that the Eduard Camo masks want you to add the exhausts after painting, so I took another set of Spitfire fuselage halves for the Spitifre GB.

I can use the fuselage with the exhausts installed in this GB. A monochrome recce machine is ideal for that.

I'll build N3071 flwon by Shorty Longbottom on the first ever operational photo recce mission undertaken in a Spitfire.

A Spitfire Recce Bird would be a great addition to the list. Keep us posted when you start building. What kit and scale will you be using? Welcome to the GB.
