tosouthern66 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Guys here's another idea for a group build. Vietnam War Group Build. It could cover anything from land, sea and air. From ships, river boats, tanks, fighter aircraft, bombers etc. 1. All subjects involved in the Vietnam war ( 19 December 1946 - 30 April 1975 ). 2. Markings can be for any country/unit operating in the war. 3. "What-if" Only with approval from Moderators. 4. Models should be started on/after the start date for the Group Build. If the cockpit is painted, I'll make an exception. 5. Open to all scales and all kits. 6. Each completed build will get you one ticket in the raffle draw. Models must be finished by the end date of the group build. 7. If a question comes up on a build as being eligible a moderator may ask for reference information. 8. Have fun and build, build, build! * We reserve the right to add/delete or mod any rule. Note for sponsors.....if you're interested in sponsoring the build with a raffle prize(s), please PM me or email me at tosouthern66@gmail.com.

Ryan Hothersall Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I would be in that. Plenty of interesting options with North Vietnamese aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think you need to get a poll going on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If it was scheduled for later in the GB calendar then I would be in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I am just looking for input on this idea for now. There are a lot of GB's being polled and applied for. I would guess that this would be later this year or early next year. I feel too many GB's at the same time would hurt participation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We haven't had a Vietnam GB since 2006, I'd say it's definitly time for a new one. Think of all the Phantoms one can build for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's sure to guarantee success! :banana:/>/> Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Agreed! Never sure what the point was in putting in a "No" selection Moreover... never understood the point of someone actually voting "No" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have some model kits of the aircrafts which took part in Vietnam war from the part of France. I could join the groupbuild with them if you don't mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'd be interested, but I'd want to look at your rules first. I had a certain 1/72 kit in my hands yesterday, and with the correct set of decals I might just be in. So I'll wait an see. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tosouthern66 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Guys We need 13 more yes votes to apply for this GB. I will start getting some rules together in case we do get to do this one. I will be looking for a second hand man for the mod duties. If you are interested send me a pm.

phantom Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 How many Showtime 100's do you have? Just the one, In flight. AIM-9 leaving the rail, airframe near vertical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosouthern66 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Rules 1- Open to all scales. 2- Open to any land, sea or air ( Must have served in theater ). 3- Start date TBD. 4- End date TBD. 5- Have fun and just build! If any question comes up on a build of the subject you are building the mods may ask for a reference to the subject for verification. So far this is what I have, we may add or delete rules as necessary. I would like your input as this is the 1st GB I am heading up. I do have one person with experence who said she would like to co-mod. I would also like a 3rd person as a co-mod just to be safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm in! I've a lot of subject of both US and North 'Nam! I only hope to be more productive that my last GB... Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I will be in on this one, so many interesting subjects. everything from the F-100 to the F-111.... from the C-47 to the C-141 .... the B-26 to the B-52 I have plenty of Phantoms, F-105s, F-100s, C-123s ... Any way, one question, Do the markings have to depict the vehicle as it served in the theatre? For example, while the F-4 served in Vietnam, it would have never served in Vietnam in the Hill Gray scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just the one, In flight. AIM-9 leaving the rail, airframe near vertical. I'm oddly dissapointed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
