Collin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The FB Tamiya F-14 build page went private, so those of us not on FB lost out. This GB will help ease that. May even join in Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the 50th anniversary - this is just the boost I need to continue working on mine and strive to make it to the finish line this time. I'm sure I'm not the only one?

I was going to do a Tamiya F-14A that I have that I have not yet started. I also have a Tamiya D that I went as far as assembling the cockpit then stopped. Although I wouldn’t mind building the A, I would like to finish a kit I have started before diving into another. As crackerjazz said, this GB would be the kick in the rear to finish that kit and clear one off the “Island of Misfit Builds” aka the Shelf of Doom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SBARC Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 F-14 GB forum is set up....PM me if you need anything further. PM me through the forums is better than e-mailing me. I have added Shawn (phantom) as a moderator because he is the wise man on the hill here on ARC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I will allow partially built kits, as long as its no more than like the cockpit or minor work being done. Any questions just ask Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Would this qualify, eraucubsfan? Here's where I'm at with my Top Gun F-14 twin build. Cockpits are done save for the ejection seats and IP shrouds. Intakes, exhausts and fuel tanks are painted up and main hulls glued together but will need some re-scribing due to sanding. Have to look for the clear parts which I've misplaced. I wanted to add scratchbuilt canopy details, add a flight crew, paint/weather the hulls properly and mount them in-flight on a base. With my track record even a year is too short -- yes, even on a Tamiya F-14 : ) but it being the 50th I intend to keep plugging away until I get them done for the deadline.

Spectre711 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Okay, I couldn't figure out the FB GBs and nobody posted yet so I was wondering. I'll be No. 2. Edited January 16 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MA Cooke Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hi - I just learned of this GB on 1/27, I've started a 1/48 Hasegawa A model (old kit), but am building as a "B", planning to do the dreaded Tomato. May I join the GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Lots of time to finish those kits. Sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Would anyone be interested in turning this into a competition? Rules would be that you have to post a WIP of the build and the build must be completed by the deadline which is Sept 22. I would start a separate thread for the competition and ask that you post 1 or 2 pics for it. I have an idea for at least a trophy and maybe a prize package. Just remember there are no points for second place and the plaque for the alternates is in the ladies room 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Its your GB, so go for it. But remember postage can be fun if the winner is from the other side of the planet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, its fun just to go across the US... But I think it could be fun and may help participation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Thank you everyone who is participating so far, I know there is a lot going on in the world today, so thank you for taking the time to "Feel The Need for Speed" I promise I will get started on my Tomcat(s) soon, I need to clear off some projects first. If you are new to the group build, and if you want put the banner for the build in your signature block and help promote it that would be awesome 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutch40 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Greetings everyone, long time lurker here but have never posted. I saw the Tomcat group build and thought it’d be a great time to throw in a first post. Today I received my GWH 1/72 Sunset D model and just got started. I have to say so far I am very impressed. Everything I haven’t read to this point is spot-on...fit and detail is top notch. Nothing too exciting at this point, I should have more to come soon. Great to finally get a post on here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
