yep - I’m in with Academy’s 48th F-86F McConnell’s B/ButchII.
a GB badge - yeah I guess we could all pitch in with ideas and designs.
im in with the 1/48 ProModeler F-86D (thats a popular one right?)
still learning the GB thing, whats a badge?
Any version huh?
Im planning on making a modified Sabre that was in use in the Australian Air Force for another group build, would it apply here also?
It is the F-86, but altered, and known here as the CAC Avon Sabre.
The Sabre is one of my favorite AC and I would love to join in, but just can’t with the suggested time frame. Involved in 2 other GB’s and it’s golf/gardening season. Wish you luck with this one, should be interesting & fun.
Oh, man… I’m in another one… I have an F-86D in 1/48 by revell that i’m hoping to dress-up in Philippine Airforce colors… It’ll (hopefully) be my submission to the Modeling Nationals here in manila. (Of course, i need to get it out of the box, first!) I guess I’m in too! [:p] Do you think we can move the deadline to about Oct. 10?

I think that it would only be fair if everyone had to build one for this GB. But i will let you make that decision for your-self
talk later

I, too, am new to this group build concept, and like the post above, I too am ignorant as to what a “badge” is. Can someone fill us in? So many Sabre Dogs, but that’s what I have, so I’m in with a F-86D “Big Viv.” I’m going to strip off an almost entire coating of Model Master foil and starting over with Metalizer or maybe Alclad if Santa Clause comes early. That foil was ca-ca. I can’t believe people used to do NMFs using household tinfoil. It’s been 15-20 years, but I saw some great looking builds using that no-doubt tedious method and Microscale used to put out an adhesive just for that purpose.

I’ll probably kick myself later, but why not? Put me down for Revelograms F-86D, not the ProModeler one, but the regular issue one.
I think I’ll jump in if I may. I’ve got a Hasegawa 1/32 kit which comes with JASDF
markings. However I’m replacing these with some USAF Korea decals that I
bought from Eagle Strike. I’m in 2 other group builds at the moment but my
construction time these days is about 3 weeks per kit on average. I should be
done in plenty of time to get to this build. So…can I can I…huh?
Hello again,
It seemes that were geting quite a turn out so far so as i said before i will update. A badge is, when you have succesfully completed the build we issue out a “badge” that goes at the bottom of all of the post you make. So i guess that you could say that its like a ribbon or medal. (If i am wrong please tell me) but i’m sure thats what it is.
The following are participating:
mobydick yes
roadkill_275 yes
sharkskin yes
shrikes yes
luke yes
I have Academys F-86F-30 It looks like it will be a fun kit.
Talk later,

Dang the end date is too early I would really like to join this GB but I am working on the Monogram B-24D and building it as the Lady Be Good crashed on the desert floor, and I have to have it ready for an IPMS contest September 11th, and I am so far behind on it I cant affored to build anything else due to the time constrante. If you could possibly make it maby half a month longer like until October 10th then I could join with the Academy 1/48 F-86F-30, but I wont work on it untill september 12th.
I could change the end date and move it a few weeks later. I would like to see if there are any objections to it from the people we already have. If it is ok with them its ok with me. Most likely it will be fine. A few more weeks to make some spectacular models. So Is it ok with all of you that i change the end date to October 10th?
talk later,
kevin
I’m in with Academy’s 1/48 “MiG Killer”, the same one luke is building… I’ll go with the other a/c though…
Here’s a couple of ideas for a badge…

ewc2003 - nice work on the GB Badges - I like both of them (lol can’t pick one, but the photo is probably better, I think).
same here.
Got room for another 1:48 Dogship ?
(built by my own fair hands here in the UK)

I could be happy with either badge, but if I had my druthers I’d take the bottom one. Super job.
