Thanks for the link from the other Thread. I’m in too. I’ll determine what kit I’ll be doing and post up the box here when I do.
I like that Mariner. I have a previous release in my stash as well. I’ll most likely do something in armor so Wayne don’t feel so alone amongst all these aircraft.
You can count me in as well. I misse dthe last one, i know, shameful. But can’t miss this one. I already have an He 162 build planned for later in the year which will include a Dragon 72nd kit, so put me down for that.
Yeah Bish I figured you would join the GB as soon as you saw it.
As far as the U-boat, I have been dying to get to it for 2 years. I figure this is the year. I was finally able to get the Big Ed PE set off eBay, from a seller in England no less. The only Big Ed I could find on eBay and the least expensive on the whole net.
I don’t have any AM for mine yet, i was concentrating on getting what i needed for the Type VII which i will do first. I had planned on back dating mine to an earlier boat, so now i need to decide what i will do with mine. One of the guys at the model club i am in is big into U-boats and talking to him it seems almost every boat was slitghtly differant. So i will narrow mine down to a certain boat before decideing what to add.
How long are you thinking this will take to build.
I will be starting it in August, but it should probably take a month or so if I concentrate on it. I’m also looking at a wood deck from Nautilus. If I budget for it I can get it before I begin. That should really make it pop.
A months, i must say thats ambitious. I have the Nautilus deck for the VII and it looks really nice. I had hoped they would bring out a new tower for the IX, but now i think i will just get the deck they have and do a late boat.
Well, I finally decided on my next model. I don’t have a boxtop to photograph because it’s going to be a scratchbuld of the Boeing Model 1 of 1916. I actually made the decision a week ago, but it’s taken this long to gather pictures, plans and materials, and until that happened I wasn’t sure I could do it.
I now have all the materials collected, so the actual work should start in the next few days.
Oh, that has me in stitches. That is a picture of the replica that now hangs in the Boeing Museum, and the very picture I was thinking of putting up myself.
I’ve been to the Boeing museum several times but I’ll have to look for the Model 1. I’m sure I took a picture of it. I took several pictures of everything else.
