Hi Waynec.

I registered for the “other 1/72 GB” with an Academy F-86e. Please put me down for that on here.

Thanx

Theuns

4

Wayne, Go ahead and sign me up still don’t know what I’m going to build.

5

Kicked off the Hurricane…gonna be a quick build I think!

6

Hello all! I would like to join in with a 1/72 ESCI F-100F in Turkish markings. I’ve got plenty of 1/72 stuff. One of the other Group Builds I entered doesn’t start until August, so I figured, maybe I will have this done by then! :wink:

7

Welcome Wiccan, love the BSG avatar!!

8

Count me in with Italeri’s P-51A which I will be finishing as an F-6A of the 111th TRS “Snoopers”.

9

I’m building the AER Light SEAL Support Craft (LSSC)

10

ww yes the orphaned armor GB. i think that one is going to be a hoot.

welcome to everyone joining. i don’t plan on sending out welcomes to every new member but, when you see your selection and picture in the roster, consider that the welcome response from me.

11

Cool! I will try to make some progress by this Weekend!

Wayne

Put me down for the B-52. I don’t know which one it is yet. I’m getting it from a co-member of my model club at our next meeting.

Thanks

Ken

I got this kit on the cheap - bagged & no decals. But I had a couple of the ESCI re-pops anyway, and one had come with 2 decal sheets! My initial clean up started.

14

so should i change the cover picture to a bag of plane parts?

i cracked the box on the SS-25. the missile canister is 12" long. have to decide early in the build whether travel mode or launch mode.

15

Getting some work done on my Mustang. Got the interior painted and am adding some PE that was extra from the stash. Aside from the cockpit being a rather poor affair the cannons were horrible so I have ordered some metal barrels and springs to spruce that up.

16

Wayne: does the SS-25 have a ‘hinge’ system that you may have the choice. I know my MAZ-543 TEL had the ability and parts to change back and forth. Yes, it was 1:35, so, it had the size. Not an option in 1:72? I haven’t looked into this Zvezda kit yet…

17

hi rob

that would be the DML SCUD 1C? i have a pair of those. my 1/35 TRUMPETER PLA DF-21 doesn’t have an option for launch mode but it looks easy enough to convert one of them ( yes i have 2 of them too). i already have pics of how to do that. on the 1/72 there are separate parts for the outriggers, folded in travel or deployed lifting the whole vehicle off the ground. and 2 hydraulic center arms, one for down and one for erect. directions look a bit confusing, nothing major just not something to build when unfocused. think i will makes copies so i can scribble on them…

18

Wayne, put me down for Revell’s P-26 in Guatemalan markings. Kit by Revell Germany, decals by Aztec.

19

Wayne I’d love to add a Dragon Jagtiger, kit #60111 in 1/72. I’ll get this one in between other builds Thanks, Terry

20

Wayne please disregard the Jagtiger I put down, and sign me up for a Dragon Tiger in 1/72.

Thanks, Terry
