picknpluck Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I feel like we should get to have a separate vote for each model we intend to build for this. I'm thinking of a three-way shoot-off of 1/72 F-4 Phantoms: Academy vs. Hasegawa vs. Monogram. VF-151, VF-154, and I'm undecided on the third...but perhaps a TPS F-4S, a gull grey/white F-4J, and an overall gull grey with low viz markings J to represent the transitioning paint schemes over the years.

tosouthern66 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) I see no reason why the Blues should be left out. They are a Navy Squadron so it works with me! Edited May 25, 2017 by tosouthern66 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 We need 3 more participants to vote yes so we can submit the GB for approval. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 You have been put in for the vote. And got a yes from me. I suggested July 1. Hopefully that works for the other two mods. Of course its going to compete for my time with the 20 or 30 I want to do for the Canadian GB running the same time. For the USN, I am thinking I might do a 1/48 VF-31 F-4J and a 1/32 VF-74 F-4J.

phantom Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Neo thinks Sept is best. I think he might be right as most people build less in the summer. That and I plan on doing around thirty myself ( ok maybe 10) for the Canadian 150 GB in July. So the GB is official come September Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rex Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'll just post whichever squadron I am on when we hit the start date, and post squadrons until the end of the GB. And then keep right on building as if the build is still going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
