I’ll start with a 1/72 Testor’s Ryan BQM-34, Model 147SC. Better know as the Buffalo Hunter or Bumble Bug drone. I’ll try to get something else going also, if I finish some other group builds in which I am involved.

Hi Will.

Count me in with a Monogram 1/48 F-105D.

At the moment it will be built straight OOB, kit decals and all.

Cheers

Are crossovers OK I was planning on doing a Monogram 1/48 F-4C for the Revell/Monogram GB when I finish my F-106.

MortarMagnet engaging. I’m working on a F-105D for the R/M GB. I’d love to sign on for this one for a twofer.

11

I’ll be doing the little helicopter with “Blades of Wood” flown by “Men of Steel”

Testors 1/32 HH-43 Huskie with the Cobra Company detail set.

MortarMagnet in, AaronW in, [#welcome] to the GB. Mortar Magnet, 1/48 i’m assuming??

Will

13

Oh my yes, and it will be Arkansas Traveler.

14

Nice to see this get off the ground, if you’ll excuse the pun!

I’ll have a crack at the Italeri 1/72 B-57 Canberra, OOB. Might blink on the AM decals if the originals are sucky [xx(]

15

OK I’m in with the Monogram F-4C. It may be awhile before I start. I’m decalling a pair of 1/48 Sopwith Camels then I need to assemble and rig them.

Hey Will.

When you say AM is limited to one item, is a resin cockpit set an item or many items?

I’m not trying to be funny or anything I’m seriously asking as if I decide to re-scribe this beast then I’ll want to replace the pathetic cockpit.

It doesn’t matter which answer you give as

Yes= cool cockpit and rescribed model

No = Dodgy stock pit but lots of work saved on the scribing.

It’s win win.

Cheers

Mark, are you already trying to upstage my 105???[(-D] I tease. Don’t worry, I haven’t finished construction on an aircraft in a long time.

I think that counts as one AM piece.

18

LOL MortarMagnet.

I’m not trying to out do you. I just love the 105. It’s one of my favourite AC and I’m torn between doing a killer job on this less than perfrect kit or doing it OOB and then having an excuse for the Trumpeter 32nd 105.

It’s only the fact that the Trumpeter kit is bigger than my house that is really stopping me doing anything about it.

By the time I put all the stuff on the revell version that I want. I could probably buy the trumpy kit anyway and have change for the 16 tins of paint it’ll take to cover it.

If you’ve seen my F-111 I’m doing for my dad, you’ll probably understand that I’m a liitle over scratch building at the moment.

I’ll be doing Arkansas Traveler too. I love the WWII victory marks under on the fuselage.

It’s a good thing Panzerwulff is doing the Jolly Green as a LOT of 105 pilots really needed those guys.

Cheers.

Hi all,

Interested in coming aboard – I’ve a range of possibilities, I’ve always fancied a Starfighter in cammo, though the RM A-37 would be an interesting build, and the RG ex-Hasegawa F-4E is really begging me to build it…

Can’t decide now!

Cheers,
