Well, lets make it official…

Name: Animalistic GB 2022

What is it: Any scale, any era, flying, crowling, rolling, floating on or bellow water, walking, jumping, sci fi, steampunk…build anything you want as long as the official name, nickname, code name, etc is that of an animal.

Nose art and squadron names are also OK.

When: Jan 1 2022 to Dec 31 2022…more or less

Incomplete list of possible models is here: https://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/29/t/189559.aspx

Put me down for a Meng 1/35th Husky TSV.

3

Done. Husky is on my wish list for future builds. They are cute pooches too [:)]

4

This looks like a good one. Thanks for running it. I think I’ll do something a bit different to my normal… a 1/43 Starter Ford Mustang from Daytona 1985. It’s a resin kit.

Cheers

Tony

Welcome to club, list updated

6

castelnuovo-great idea for a GB. Question-does ‘Animalistic’ include fish, birds & insects? Seeing your listing of the Wasp makes me think so but want to be sure. I will be in either way.

Thanks

7

Yes. Fish, insects, birds are a go. “Akula” submarine, “Swordfish”, “Fighting Falcon” “Hornet” airplanes are all good. Welcome [:)]

8

Put me down for the Academy 1/72 F-14A Tomcat

9

Sounds like fun Castel, I’ll have to see what I get for Christmas.

10

Lowfly and modelcrazy, thanks for joining, added to the list

11

Castel-please add me to the list-I’m going to start with the AMT Piranha-

With a little planning I could add a few more later.

Thanks

12

I am in, subject TBD

13

OK, I have you both in

14

I’ll join with a Nichimo 1/35 King Tiger.

15

Question, I’ll see what I get for Christmas but would a Raptor work. It’s kinda general.

16

Sure, why not? I am a flexibile person [:)]

17

Castelnuovo, Question:

What if the Nose-Art / A/C name is of an animal?

18

Okay, finally decided on what to build. I’ve got this ancient (1982 rebox of a 1979 original mold) ESCI/ERTL kit of an F-5E Tiger II, in 1:48 scale.

I’ve also got two other kits I’m doing for other group builds that will qualify as crossovers: an F-16 Fighting Falcon that I’m doing for the Lockheed-Martin GB (1/72 scale, ERTL/ESCI); and a Me-262 Schwalbe (Swallow) in 1/48 scale by Hobby Boss, for the Junkers GB.

19

Hey AA, that double qualifies, both a tiger and dog-fighter [t$t]

20

Castel I’m in! Great idea. Was looking for a build to throw my most recent purchase at. I’m in with a Kitty Hawk 1/32 Tiger II in FROG camo [B] oh I’m excited about this one.
