Canadian GB

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

There was enough interest in the feeler thread so lets do this!

Here are the ‘rules’:

1 - any subject, any genre as long as its in Canadian Markings

  1. Fantasy builds are acceptable as long as you follow #1 (the CF would love some Apache’s)

  2. Canadians flying with the RAF are good to go

  3. Crossovers from over GB’s are fine

  4. OOB, A/M, scratchbuilding, the sky is the limit

  5. Started builds are fine as long as they are less then 50%

  6. Most important, have fun and share your build

Run dates are May 1st until December 31st (8 months) Feel free to sign up any time.

This is my first GB so please be gentle. If I missed something I’m open to friendly reminders.

Here’s the badge thanks to JGeratic:

Feel free to grab it whenever

I will contribute Johnny Kent’s Hurricane (Airfix 1/72) from the Battle of Britain. Read his autobiography a few months ago, and then picked up some decals. His life and service are pretty interesting.

I would love to be in on this, pending my schedule for the next few months. I want to do a 1/72 Revell Twin Mustang in RCAF colors. Never actually existed, but it would have made sense since the USAF used them for continental defense in Alaska.

Great to have you guys aboard. Roster is updated.

Budd I put you down now, so whenever you’re ready to start it will be good to go.

I put myself down for TBA, I’m torn if I want to do a crossover or do something different. I have a CF-18 on the go for the 1/72 build, and plan to do a M7 Preist for the D-Day GB. Part of me says as the host be original.

If no one does a Voodoo I might do that…

6

I would be a poor Canadian if I didn’t get in on this one. Can you put me in for Italeri’s 1/72 scale CF-5

7

Glad to have you, and you raised a great point.

I decided to do an Arrow - no Canadian GB would be complete without it

8

Chris, afraid i won’t be able to take part in this GB. 1) my bench is more than full and 2) i don’t have anythiung that would fit. But i am glad you have it up and running and i hope as many people as possable jump in and make it a good GB. I will be seeing how you guys get on.

And make sure you give vance a kick, he has no excuse to missing this.

9

add me. i will be doing a trumpeter AVGP GRIZZLY 6x6 in IFOR balck and green camo.

10

I would LOVE to do a Voodoo! I have actually been wanting to do one in Canadian markings for a while now, but I don’t have one to do! So I will stick with the F-82 for now.

11

Bish - sorry to hear you can’t jump in, but yes you are a busy man!

Wayne - got you on there!

Sub - I was torn too…so many choices. I’m sure we can come up with another excuse to dig out some Voodoos another time

12

After this GB you could always do one with plane that have a ghost type name.

Voodoo, Phantom, etc.

13

I’ll sign up for this one with a hobbyboss leopard 2a6m

14

also this seems like the place to ask if I wanted to build a cf-18 what f-18 kit would get me the right version?

15

Welcome tates.

I’m doing the 1/72 Hobbycraft CF-18 right now, not impressed so far.

Maybe this will help: www.ipmscanada.com/…/CF18Hornet.html

16

This going to be really tight for me as by no means am I a machine when building these things, but do put me down for a Hawker Typhoon - 1/48 scale from Hasegawa.

It will be in RAF markings, the pilot though will be Canadian.

regards,

Jack

Wow, we have quite the good variety on here already!

Where the heck is Vance??? I know he should be in here!

19

Chris,

Put me down for an Airfix Chipmunk, I know I’ve got one somewhere.

Cheers

Tony

Jack and Tony I’ve got you guys on there!

I sent a note to Vance so hopefully he should be along shortly???

It is shaping up to have a nice variety indeed!
