Kurt H. Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 For this Gb I will build the Eduard Bundesfighter .... it is the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104 with cartograf decals, eduard masks. resin seat, and colored photoetch. There are 5 decal options, I will go with the Norm76 Marine option. This will be a bit ambitious for me. I have yet to successfully use photo-etch in a model, and I am also going to try the black basing technique to bring some color variation to the final finish. here is an obligatory box photo!

Pete Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 So many options in the stash, I don't know what to pick. 1/72: Gannet, Tornado, Eurofighter, T-33, MiG-29, H-34, Do-28 1/48: Tornado, F-4F, Sabre I'll think of something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ichitoe Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) 1/48 Hasegawa F-4F. Scheme TBD. I need to finish up my build for the Helicopter GB before I start on this build. Mike Edited March 4, 2017 by Ichitoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Academy's 1/144 F-4F with HaHen's "40 Jahre Mölders" decals. Some pix of the prototype are here. I'm leaning towards an in-flight display. Getting RAL 5015 for the tail, stabilator, and wing tips could be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scott_t Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Was going to go with the big Revell 32nd scale kit but think I will backtrack and start with a smaller scale build to get me going. 48th scale Revell Tornado IDS scheme: undecided - but possibly a grey ISAF bird Eduard update sets - selected parts Aires Wheel Bay -Scott Edited March 3, 2017 by scott_t changed subject kit for build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'll start out with a 72nd Hobbycraft Sabre Mk.6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) 1/32 Revell F-4E, modified to a F-4F. Edited March 4, 2017 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Had to change my original idea due to the GB rules: 1/72 Revell F-4F "Phantom Pharewell". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cool Hand Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I've got a 1/72 Hasegawa EJ-Kai that I'll make into an F by swapping out the hard wing for the slatted wing from an S that I have in the stash. I just need to find decals. Looking to do a Jg 73 bird in the Norm 81 scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) i'll do a Revell 1/48 Tornado as a 1991 Jabog 32. in Norm83 scheme. ...and maybe more if i find the time for... Edited March 3, 2017 by mingwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking to do a Jg 73 bird in the Norm 81 scheme. you'll also need unslotted stabilators...(unslotted : F4H-1, early F-4B, F-4C, F-4D..F-4F) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 These are the intended candidates. Given my poor GB completion record, I'm not sure which, if any, I'll finish; but its all about the process, right? I'd like to throw an F-4F into this mix, if I can source one in time. Also need to get some decals for the F-84. Now, which to begin with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 oops. Lets nix the 1/72 F-104 from that, as I'm planning a Marineflieger version, not Luftwaffe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent! I presume we're excluding the LSK though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 East German Airforce. Not Luftwaffe, but I ask since you seem open to all kinds of German air units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will have to defer to TobiK on that one. I am uncertain if that fits with his vision for the GB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 As I read the ROEs, you may have to limit your east german aircraft of choice to those types that continued flying in the Luftwaffe, Heer or Marine after the re-unification of 1990. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have these two to start with once I get a few builds out of the way. I want to use the Richthofen kit decals in the Canidair but at least I have some backups just in case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
