Close Air Support GB Feeler

Would there be interest in a CAS group build? There hasn’t been one of these for a while and was wondering if there would be some interest. Range of aircraft goes from the kites of WWI to the jets of today. Strategic bombers are out, unless you’re building a current B-1 with the appropriate pods for precision guided munitions. Fighter versions of aircraft aren’t allowed, but load her up with bombs/and or rockets and she’s good to go. Dedicated attack aircraft definitely allowed. Attack helos definitely allowed. Gunships also. A couple of lists to go by.

If there’s enough interest, figure a start date in January.

Like i need an excuse to build a Stuka.

In. I have an a10 and the new zvezda hind in the stash

I’m in. Just don’t know with what

Not much of a plane builder but I might have to give it a go for this GB.

Aha in looking through the stash. The 48th Hasegawa Tiffie caught my eye. Can’t get more CAS then that

Never finished a group build on time yet, but it sounds good to me! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll give it a go. Been looking for an excuse to build that 1/32 Trumpeter A-10

I’ve got several in the stash that qualify. The January start date sounds good.

1/72 Vautour.

This is looking up. Bish and a Stuka, who would’ve guessed.[:D]

John,

I’ve heard good things about the Zvezda Hind in 1/72. Don’t know about the other scales.

TJ,

Would the Tiffie be prop or jet? Don’t believe I’ve seen a modern Tiffie loaded with big things that go boom.

Keyserj,

Always good to step outside your comfort zone.

Cbaltrin,

I tend to have that problem too. Even my own builds sometimes.

Learmech,

The big one, sounds like fun.

Mrmike,

Look forward to seeing what comes out of your stash.

G,

Israeli I take it?

This is looking promising. Hopefully we’ll get some more like minded souls on board.

Buddy. The original. Hawker Typhoon Ib

I just picked up some A-10s last week and might have a few Apache helicopters if those are allowed.

TJ,

That will be cool.

Ed,

The Apaches are definitely allowed.

Sure, I have a couple 1/72 kits near the top that would fit the GB.

Buddy, I’d probably be in with an Hs-129.

I almost said that. I’ve got 3 Hasegawa in the stash. One is the B-3 with the 75mm

Wish I had a frogfoot to throw in…maybe I will aquire one during the terms of the GB.

Not a comfirmation, just a maybe.

Im interested. Another excuse to bring down the stash cout.

TJ, You’re not allowed to make one because yours will make mine look bad! [;)]
