1990-1991 Gulf War 25th Anniversary Group Build

I hope that you enjoy the upcoming show here :wink:

I’m excited. The Nimrod kit has a LOT of parts. I’ll post sprue shots soon.

I usually just stare at the one in the stash. It is a pretty Kit.

Who can come up with a badge for us?

i can do one. need the gfx practice

Please do! My attempts with ā€œpaintā€ were quite stillborn.

Thank you, Wayne. [snYea]

Ok, under 30 hours or so to go for those west of the international date line.

And I just got my kit and associated stuff yesterday, …right on time. .

Champing at the bit, this will be the first GB I ever started with everyone on the first day! [8-|]

Hey stick can you change my second entry the A-10 to a 1/48 ESCI Tornado, I am gonna go all Brit on this one.

B_one, your swap is noted and done on the roster…

Greg, I am a bit anxious myself to get this rolling… but it’s a bit under 34 hours to go here in California…

Well, somewhere in the world right now it is August 1st and this GB is now on…lets see who is first with work to show…

Won’t be me, will probably start on mine in Oct with any luck. But looking forward to some great builds.

Well I start 3 weeks off of work (officially) at midnite on Saturday. With my normal days off thrown in I have actually already begun and it works out to just under four weeks off, so I will get something going after August begins here…

I have just ordered my tracks. I was going to get some Fruils, but saw someone mention sword metal links and saying how nice they were. So I am going to try those and saved myself a fiver in the process. Just got a couple of resin sets to get from Accurate Armour.

Yeah, I need to swing by the LHS for either a set of Italeri Jerry Cans, or some angle strip styrene to make up the improvised can racks some Iraqi BMPs carried.

given the large number of countries in the coalition i figured Baghdad Bob, as he was known in the US, would be most appropriate.

smaller badge

I hope to do something tomorrow. I got a CMK detail kit to go with my F117A, so I’d best get looking at things to see where I should start.

Officially, midnight is 10 hrs away here in paradise.

4 wks off sounds good, Stik.

Wayne, that looks pretty good. Any chance you can do something similar with a Saddam image?

Greg, the time off will be nice. But as usual I am sure that I will be ready to go back to work by the end of it… Looking forward to your Nighthawk :wink:
