"Century series Jets" GB 2014-2015 * CLOSED *

It’s actually kind of fun doing multiples. I’m in 4 GBs and two commissions so talk about multi-tasking! I just juggle :juggle:the projects around to let them dry or cure while I work on another victim.

Yeah, ok, I can give it a go…but that Cylon Raider is just soooo huge LOL…[:S]

The 104 is a ESCI kit I will be doing. I am currently working a tomcat in the vandy 1 scheme and organizing for monogram GB . I have to clear my bench that the monster 1/48 B-1b is occupying, that is a whole other WIP. Will most likely start sometime in late July on this GB, I am waiting on AM parts for the 104.

Yeah, a 1/48 B-1 would certainly ‘occupy’ a big degree of real-estate, for sure!!

I have my kit:

Next time I’ll spray the box top with dullcoat before I snap the photo.

Eh, I’m building the kit as a CF-104.

Right on Seasick!! I liked this kit so much, I did it 3 times!! What colour scheme are you going with?

Theuns, I’d like to sign up with a Hasegawa TF-104 in 1/72.

I’m in with a Trumpy 1/48 100-c in SEA colors in a cross over. I’ve got a bit of the cockpit done and am trying to recover from a resin engine mistake, but I’ll get her fixed up. Pics of progress so far shortly.

Lewbud and MAgather, Theuns is on South Africa time…he’ll add yo guys when he comes online…Welcome aboard!!

No worries. If the cold fronts get to be too much, he can send them to me in Texas.

Front page updated.

lewbud I will gladly send the cold weather to you mate!!

Being born and raised in the eastern low country in SA with weather much like Texas (hot and dry) I am not having fun with temps ranging between 3 degrees (morning) and about 10-15 deg celcius in the day.

Working in a hanger does not really help either!

Theuns

I will take those temps all day long. I can always add another layer to get warm, you can only take so much off to get cool.

Super stoked to see that we have such an excellent Roster!! Also, very pleased to see that the whole spread of Century jets are ALL represented…this build is going to be epic! Can’t wait to get my 106, but, may take up to 5 weeks!!! Coming from Hong Kong, so, mail from there to Canada may be a bit crappy!! BUT, in the meantime, finishing my Braille scale GB, then starting on the Sci Fi, so, busy…

With such a long time scale for this GB, I might have to add another build to it…maybe a 1/48 Trump F-1–D for a “misty” build :wink:

Putting on enough cloths for the cold weather does not really do much for the cold “dumb” hands that need to grip small bolts and connectors! Being to bulky also becomes an issue when crawling into a cramped rear fuselage to install a transponder mound LOL

Theuns

Hey Theuns, where exactly are you? Just for fun, looked at a weather map of SA and it showed mid 20’s C ? LOL

The three color Canadian Air Group.

So, you are going Canadian, eh? (Canadian joke…drumroll, plz [:P]) Yeah, good choices of decal sets for the CF-104. I did the Cold Lake version and then another with aftermarket markings from a vendor here in Canada. O’Canada!

Ok, I’m going to have to give in to the pressure and sign up for this build, I have a 1/48 monogram f-101 that I got at a swap meet for free that was probably 10% assembled, I had to pretty much disassemble it to fix the mistakes.

So I’ll pull that off the shelf. I plan to do it in Minnesota air guard colors as i grew up basically at the end of the runway. I’ll post picture later this week. [t$t]
