4scourge7 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Dear all, sounds good! I have really got into my first GB over in F-15 land and am looking forward to this one. I`m going to have a crack at a 72nd scale Super Frelon by Mach 2 with oldskool Israeli camo. Happy times :D Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JEN722 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Count me in with one Afghan Mi-8/17 Hip one Afghan Mi-24 Hind, both Trumpeter 1/35th scale. I will decide which aircraft to model when I have seen the kits and have had time to compare them to my photos. Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Alrighty, after much self debate, I will build a 1/35 MRC UH-1C Huey Gunship in HA(L)-3 Seawolves markings from Fireball Models. The kit will be built pretty much OOB, with some improvements where needed (I'd love to add a pintle-mounted .50 cal in one of the doors). My fallback entry will be a 1/48th Hasegawa AH-64 Apache, colors and country TBD. Oh, I will compile a master list with everyone's entry(s) at the top of this thread once the majority of the entries are posted.

Dr Fester Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hello all :D If I get enough arm twisting I might be persuaded to give an Italeri 1/48 RAH-66 Comanche a go for this GB. Only if time permits. Doc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James A Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Here's my stuff... 1/72 Italeri MH-47E done as a JGSDF CH-47JA and a 1/72 Revell Germany Sea King done as a FAA Commando HC.4. I might try a JMSDF MCH-101 if time permits, and if there are more reference photos released of the real deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jRatz Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) The title "Distinguished List" threw me for a minute, I'm not usually distinguished by good things .... Anyway, I have two candidates both with lots of photos taken at the Trans Museum at Ft Eustis. Fonderie 1/48 H-21 Revell/Italeri 1/72 CH-54 There is no aftermarket for either, so whatever I add will be scratchbuilt. The CH-21 looks to need some detail in the cockpit area and I always wonder about the engine set-up ... I have this (really spacey) vision of doing the CH-54 cable-by-cable, line-by-line, etc-by-etc, but that may be a bit much ... So, I'll go with the H-21, perhaps kicked up a notch in the cockpit. I'd like to find some references, pictures, etc of the internals of the engine compartment, just in case I get over-achievey ... I'd also like some good pix of the USAF arctic-rescue birds for markings -- what would be the interior color scheme ?? ... Probably will not start a build thread for a week or so - have to get some Matchbox Madness work done first ... Looking forward to this -- I haven't built a helicopter since Huey's in the '60's ... I picked the H-21 mostly because it is odd looking ... Thanks in advance for any help/advice ... John Edited January 26, 2006 by jRatz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) I'm going out on a limb, having opened my big mouth, and taking a stab at the Britavia 1/72nd scale Westland Dragonfly (a modified Sikorsky R-5/HO3-S) vac-form kit. The main rotors will be sourced from an Aerodrom injected kit, but all the other small bits are provided in white metal by Britavia. :D Edited January 31, 2006 by RotorheadTX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sounds good Tony! Okay, mine will be a hypothetical subject. Modeler: Zac Yates Subject: MD500 Defender, RNZAF, 1986. Kit: Italeri/Tamiya 1:72 AH-6 Night Fox. Decals from the Matchbox Strikemaster. Can't wait to get her started! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Great choices so far everybody! One week to go.....I'm itching to get the show on the road myself. :D Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard E Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'll throw my hat into the ring on this one: Heller's 1/72nd scale Gazelle finished as a Royal Marines (847 Squadron) machine. Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Green-Meanie Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Room for another one? I'll be doing another Academy 1/35 Blackhawk (should be a breeze now I've got my eye in :huh: ) Not sure what markings yet, might do another Somalia bird, maybe something else. B) Paul.

chriswfo Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'll play too, just can't figure out what I want to build. I have a 1/72 UH-1F (worked on those), a 1/48 Heller UH-1N (flew on those) and a couple 1/72 OH/AH-6s. If I can find a Monogram AH-1S I might build one of those. Can't decide.
