spejic Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) 60 years ago the A-4 Skyhawk was being developed, so it's time to have a group build to celebrate the aircraft's diamond anniversary. Vote in the poll above, post comments and questions below. Edited February 22, 2015 by spejic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) As long as another project I have doesn't get in the way, I'm in with a Scooter aggressor. Edited February 22, 2015 by falcon20driver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ichitoe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I still have a couple of Scooters in the stash, so I'd be in! Mike Edited February 22, 2015 by Ichitoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think I have something like 6 A-4s in the stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I am in ! I have a Pro Modeler Blue Angels that I would do. I also have a Hasegawa Scooter and a Monogram OA-4 that are possibilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I could be persuaded. One question, though,,,,,"50 years"?,,,,I think that is off by a decade, 50 years ago the A-4E was dropping bombs in Vietnam, and the Scooter is older than I am, and I am 58 The photo is not current, there have been some built and some more added since then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galileo1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Sure thing. I have an A-4E that I can use. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paolo Maglio Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm in! Can do Israeli A-4E, or RAN A-4G and RNZAF A-4K! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I could be persuaded.

I recently took inventory and was shocked that I had so many. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Wow, votes are coming in fast. I guess I better ask for a volunteer to be the second administrator. I am going to allow kits that are started, but don't yet have the fuselage closed (mostly because I've glued the wings and started painting the cockpit of all my A-4 kits).

tobiK Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You will give a good reason finally to build a scooter! RNZAF, Brazil or Singapore AF is hot...or a bad boy!? Enough Hasegawa and Classic crapframes in the stash... OHHH and do not forget to mention the white civilian "bad boys" in Wittmund at JG 71!!! (HaHen already made decals for!)

phantom Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Discovery air has a couple Skyhawks as well. Complete with Canadian flags on the tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Discovery air has a couple Skyhawks as well. Complete with Canadian flags on the tail. And TwoBobs have great decals for quasi-Canadian based Skyhawks. http://www.twobobs.net/contents/en-us/d5_08.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 There are enough votes to have this group build, but I still need a volunteer to be the second administrator (a very easy job - just be another person to encourage your fellow model builders with occasional comments). Also, do you want the group build to start on April 1 or June 1? I don't believe there are any group builds planned to start on April 1, but that isn't a lot of time to order things you might want.

phantom Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Outstanding, you got your 25 very fast. Should make for a well attended group build once you put in the application. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 How about starting the GB on April 4th: "A-4"? :thumbsup:/> -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This is awesome! I am pretty pumped for this GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 How about starting the GB on April 4th: "A-4"? :thumbsup:/>/> The 4 dates you can start a group build are January 1, March 1, July 1, or September 1, and the March one means less than a week for the mods to vote and set things up. I'm sending in the proposal now - we'll see what date we can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott VMFA (AW)242 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm game for it, this will be my first ARC group build. Right now, I'm wrapping up on a FSM Stuka build and still have two others to do (an A-6 and A-7) but those can be worked in with the A-4 since the paint schemes will be the same. Will either go with the Hasegawa A-4M or one of the Trumpeter Skyhawks. April 4th is a great ideal for the start date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
