All Ohio Group Build

Ah falcon thank you! I knew there was an Ohio plane but i didnt know there was a picture. Maybe this could be our badge? just a thought…

Max,

I might have to make a switch to an F16, cause OANG decals for the old A7 are nowhere to be found. I did, however, find some decals for the 112th FS Stingers out of Toledo. Seems to be the best I can do. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hey! Why doesn’t someone do a Goodyear Blimp??

Hehe if you can find it trowlfazz, do it! Jerry, i’ll mark you for the change!

Hey Rad-found a Fujimi F-86 Mad Mig Marine at Squadron.com-although you never know if they have it until it shows up in the mail. Will be my first NMF job anb a build I’ll actually have to pay atttention to.

hmm, put me down as a stand-by. I’m from hudson ohio, and I have an F-16, but I’m crammed with no space to reathe from all the GB’s and I’m not gonna have much time to model this year cos of my school work and all of the other stuff.
dang it!

RadMax may I join in on the fun of this build because I am to from Ohio. I have the Wright Flyer. Can this one make the cut for this GB.

Jin, Pink, anyone is welcome. I was hoping someone would do the Wright Flyer!!! Jin, as long as you can mark the F-16 with ohio markings or can find an Ohio pilot, you are IN!

Looks like you got you wish then!

Radmax, I am having problems taking the badge. I do not know what I am doing wrong but if you can help, PLEASE!!!

Boy, RadMax-your GB got torn down in another forum-but I think it is a great idea. I know you got ‘flamed’ because it was for Ohioans and Ohio aviation-but there are no limits on group builds-Hey Michigan-howza bout maize and blue aircraft? Hey Indiana-howza bout a plane throwing a chair onto a basketball court? Anyway, I am hanging in there but my F-86 has yet to show up-so stick to your guns-I will too.

PS-I’m not a Ohioan-but this GB made me delve into the aviation history here-which is very deep-and I actually learned things. I just wish there was a Bob Hope and aviation connection.

Would a F-84F from the Ohio ANG qualify for this GB? I’ve been wanting to do another F-84F for a while and I found decals from the 1997 IPMS Nats decal sheet that include 1/48th and 1/72nd markings for the F-84F. I’ve only found one pic in the Aerofax Minigraph book and the instructions that came with the decals to go by. I don’t live in Ohio, but I’ve been to the Air Force Museum a couple of times.I’ve never joined in a GB, but sounds kind of interesting. Think I could join up? Don M.

Two days and counting… Getting excited??
Viper- You most definately can join! Weclome aboard!
Trowlfazz- [(-D] I dont think aircraft are capable of trowing chairs. Well, I’ve seen one that dropped a toilet, so I guess anything’s possible!!

Rad-Just a little Bobby Knight humour. :wink:

Oh yes I knew that… maybe my little comment should have been, “I don’t think Bobby’s a pilot” LOL gimme a break it was early!

Radmax-8 thanks for the info on the GB Badge. I think I now have this thing down.

Glad to be a part of your group. My F-84F will be a NMF with the Ohio ANG markings. I’ll be using the Monogram 1/48th scale kit, mostly OOB, unless I can find some PE to go with it. Looking forward to this build. Dragonfly, check out Squadron Mail Order, they have Super Scale Decal sheet # 48-944 which has Ohio ANG A-7D, might be the one you are searching for. Also Bare Metal Foil has sheet # 48-52 for the F-84E with markings for the Ohio ANG.

on your mark… get set… GO!!! happy building everyone, and good luck! be sure to post progress pictures, I know I will! Thanks again you guys for joining, hopefully this will be a fun, educational experience!

I’ll be in Canada for the next two weeks on vacation. I don’t want to rush this, so I still don’t have a subject yet, but getting closer. I’ts all about the decals. Thanks Viper for the heads up on the sheets. The BMF decals are listed as discontinued. The Springfield OANG A7’s were pretty boring to look at. I will have make a choice soon.

Good luck on your builds guys. Will talk to you in two weeks.

Rad-I did get a Fujimi F-86F-with Eduard PE for the intake and exhaust covers. I will start as soon as I finish my 120mm Verlinden Black Prince (no-not the musician). BTW-today’s my B-day 51!
