airmechaja Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I'd like to see some Century Series comparisons like Monogram F-100 vs Trumpeter F-100 or the same 2 manufacturers with F-105's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Things in my stash I could apply to this GB: ZM/Hasegawa F-4S Phantom GWH F-15C/Revell F-15E Kinetic/Monogram F/A-18 Legacy Hornet Hasegawa/Revell F/A-18F Super Hornet AFV Club F-5N/Monogram F-5F Hasegawa/Classic Airframes TA-4J Testors 1/48 OV-10A/Academy 1/72 OV-10D Revell 1/48 Tornado GR4/Hasegawa 1/72 Tornado GR1 Hasegawa 1/48 A-7E/Fujimi 1/72 A-7E I think I'm going to start with the F-5s. After that, likely the F-15s, but maybe the F-4s instead...or maybe the TA-4Js...too many good choices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I'm planning to start with 1/48 Eduard vs. DML Fokker Dr.Is because I'm still up to my neck in a personal WWI theme build which, coincidentally enough is stalled on a Testors/Hawk vs. Eduard Nieuport 17 build. I had considered Monogram vs. GWH TBD-1 Devastators but the GWH kit has already won that. Also in the stash is Lindberg box scale vs. Monogram 1/48 He. 111s but I'd like to save the Lindberg kit for an oldies style group build. I also have 1/25 AMT vs. Revell 1957 Chevys, 1/48 Airfix vs. Classic Airframes B.P. Defiants, and 1/48 Monogram vs. Hasegawa F-14 Tomcats-one I would consider but I'm also in the midst of rigging Revell's 1/96 USS Constitution and I'm pretty sure that'll use up my ration of patience for the rest of the year...

Since it is going to run for a year I am going to use it as an opportunity to reduce my stash. 6 pairs of kits built over 12 months shouldn't be to hard. OOB except maybe decals all 1/48. The list Monogram/Kinetic EA-6B Hobbyboss/Academy F8F-1 Grand Phoenix/Hobbyboss FJ4-B Model USA/Roden O-1 Monogram/ICM P-51B Monogram/Great Wall P-61A We'll see what happens.

niart17 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I assume the builds don't have to be OOB? I have a couple of builds I was going to do anyway that would fit into this GB but I intend to do some scratch and 3D printed mods to both kits. I am going to start on the Tamiya 1/100 Space Shuttle (hopefully adding a stack to it) and another Monogram 1/72 scale shuttle with many added payload bay and window parts etc.... Thanks, Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Bill That is correct. Any amount is AM is fine, Just be mindful when comparing two kits, the Aftermarket parts might change the comparison. So, for example if you add a resin cockpit, compare the OOB cockpits of the two models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Gotcha! That makes sense. So basically anything that you'd replace, you'd still like the build to show the comparable areas of the kits OOB. Good deal! Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
