Bump
Just over two more months to go![:P]
Looking forward to this build, I have all my goodies ready, resin aftermarked cockpit, black magic masks, cutting edge decals, reference material (which I’ve been pouring over almost daily lol… it’s an obsession). [:P]
Is there a rule about doing the same kit that someone else is doing on the list?.. I have the Yak-1 flown by Lilia Latvyak and I have been wanting to knock it out for a while.
I don’t think it would be a big deal. The point of the GB is to build an Ace, Lilya is an ace so that fills that part of the criteria. As long as you have fun, go for it! See you in April!
I’ll add you to the front page Cudamav.[#welcome]
No biggy but after looking at the P-47 that Rick’s doing for the Battle of Germany GB I am now going to get the Eduard PE set for my Tamiya P-47 because looking at the IP that Rick was able to produce with that set, well Needless to say I’m getting it.
Cheers
I would like to join this GB if possible. I would like to do a 1/72 Tamyia P-51D in John C. Meyer’s Petie 2nd scheme. He had 24 victories.
No problem Tryingtomodel, I’ll add you to the front page. The more the merrier!
Hmmm time for a little bump back to page one and counting down with only 17 days to go.
This is going to be a good one…I just picked up the Loon Models Conversion to make the P51D-5 model for Yeager’s bird. The one without the fin fillet…first time using a conversion.
Yuppers, go time is creeping up!, I’ve got my Spitfire and decals already to go. I was thinking once I am done, I’d like to give it to Mr. Douglas Lindsey. I still haven’t met him yet but I am going ot try to have a visit later this spring.
Cripe am I jealous! You guys actually get to meet and speak with your topics…I am going to the VFW sometime in the near future…I really want to do something with a “personal” touch!
Just a bit of fun, but I’d love to do the Hurricane of Johnny ‘Red’ Rebourne, of Eagle comics. OK, he’s fictional, and I’m just playing, but still…I used to love reading his exploits!
Well I ordered my decals from Meteor Productions the other day, now all I need is the P-47 interior set from Eduard and I’ll be ready to start. Providing I can find time in my build schedule that is [:(]
Cheers
Yeah I know what you mean about the time for the GBs Darren. I am going to try really hard to get as much as I can on the Canso for the BoA GB and Spitfire for the Allied Aces GB before my wife’s go time in the later half of May.
Jay, I know I’m splitting my replies to you across GB’s but it had completely slipped my mind that you are not far away from becoming a Dad!!!
Now I am deadly serious here, but when the dust has settled I expect to see some photos published in one of the GB’s and remember if it’s a boy Darren is a really cool name [tup]
Cheers
THATS RIGHT!
Around late May eh…May 19th is a great day for a birthday … just as Darren is a great name for a boy…[;)]…however, May 19th works for a boy or girl! Is this your first?
Speaking of kids, scratch the B model I was planning to do…my 7yr. old son saw it and asked if he could build it…could not resist…I may post some photos of the progress…should start on Saturday.
Darren sorry mate, we have several names for boys and girls picked out and sadly, Darren is not one of them.
Joe, yes it is #1. What do you mean, may post pics of your son’s build, I insist you must do it. I’ll even add his name to the list if you would like[:D]. PS- it is totally okay for him and only him to start early.
All others starting early will be disqualified and barred from further participation in GBs moderated by me[swg]. Ahh… who am kidding, as long as you don’t start way too early, I could care less, I hate “too many rules” and people who are real sticklers. I will be starting on April 2nd though.
Cool…#1…when you hear the child’s first cry get ready for a total Zen moment…mine was like I knew the answers to all of the questions ever asked or will be asked, it was a breif moment, but one that I will always have…
I will tell the Terminaor (a/k/a Connor, my son) that he is in…it is the old Monogram 1/72 B model which will have the Eagle Strike decals…he is going to be so psyched! Thanks Jay, and everyone else!
Will he be doing it in Yeagers marking too?
Yup…
