Bigasshammm Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hey guys it's Sept 1st! So the idea of this GB is to build some heavy bombers. Things like the B-17 B-29 B-1 b-2 etc. not included are the medium or strike bombers like a B-25 or B-26. Builds shouldn't be progressed more than some minor cockpit work. Please have a build thread with as much pictures as you can stand. Any scale of heavy bomber will be included. Questions or anything feel free to ask away. I would like to set things up more professionally but I can't get on the site on my computer so I'm on my phone currently. Kris. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Hi, Kris. I'll definitely be in with something. Let's say definitely with a 1/144 Vickers Valiant, using the Micro Mir kit. Cheers, Stefan. Edit: Oops, this should be in the Briefing thread now. I had started this reply with the intent of asking if my 1/72 B-17 was not too far along. I thought there was nothing but silver paint srayed on the inside of the fuselage and the props sprayed black. But I pulled out the kit and noticed that the wings had been glued together and the horizontal stabs also. So, probably too far along. Cheers, Stefan.

Bigasshammm Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Eh if that's all that's started I'll allow it. That's really not that much work done. I'll never say no to a 17! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'd like to join in, but not just yet. Have to build some other stuff first. Meanwhile I could pin the usual threads, if you want? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sure thanks. Not sure why I can't log in on my laptop. It keeps popping an error. When I try to do the "forgot password" that also doesn't work. Even though I'm pretty sure I'm not forgetting the password. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Hi, I will probably be busier in the Recce GB at first because that finishes on January 1st. Since I was playing around with banners, I made one for this GB as well. B-2 Heavies GB by StefanBuysse, on Flickr Feel free to use it for this GB. Cheers, Stefan.

jotter Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi!! Quick question. How about a wrecked aircraft? I have a B-17 that got destroyed by a couple of moves and a couple of other unfortunate incidents. Here's a pic of what I got... since that picture was taken the whole thing split down the middle....Needless to say it's a wreck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 How about the heaviest ever Navy bomber? The A-3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 5, and one repair. All for other people. The A-3 was started a couple days back, while the forums were down. I closed it up today after your ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 So could a B-58 or B-47 in 1/144 be considered part of this GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Absolutely. Scale doesn't matter just the type of aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Can I build a Fw-200 for this GB? It was big, and it carried bombs, although not a true bomber. It still sank quite a few ships. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Any chance, especially with the ARC down time,we can extend the finish date on this group build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately no there's other GBs that need to get processed. Doesn't mean you need to stop your build though. Keep it up and get it finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
