I wanna see a Luft 46’ group build.
Bit to narrow. Prototypes and Projects covers those and allows a lot more options. GAF is planning an X-Files GB which is along those lines.
And quite a few GB’s allow for what if’s, what you got in mind.
Has anyone done an “Airshow” group build? Idea is that your subject be accompanied by an airshow photo of the exact aircraft modeled, be it a demo or static.
Great idea, quick thought would include the various classes of race birds.
Theuns did a demonastration team GB…must be 2015 if memory serves. It’s been a while. It was just for demonstration teams, not race planes or private stunt planes though.
I have the Revell AR555, BV194, me-p1099 and the FW Flitzer. Id love to do any one of them.
I had a couple of ideas for GBs. How about “Are We There Yet?” A GB dedicated to “people movers” or transports. Anything that has moving multiple people as its primary mission. This might be a little broad, but it could be more narrowly defined. I know, it could be argued that a battleship moves people, but an oceanliner would be a better fit. A C-47 but not an AC-47. A railway passenger car but not a boxcar. A school bus but not a motorcycle. You get the idea…
Or how about “Call of the Wild?” Anything that is officially named after an animal? A Volkswagen Beetle. A Tiger tank. A F-15 Eagle. A Suzuki Hayabusa. There are a million of 'em!
Just throwing those out there…
68GT-I’ve got a couple of vehicles that would fit-I’m in if it is a ‘Go’-might I suggest checking interest in the Auto section?
I’m a Luft 46 fan myself. I have built the first of those and have the last 2 in my stash, planing on the Flitzer for GAF’s GB. But there are quite a few who are not fans of those German what ifs but will build other prototypes. And as GAF is planning on allowing armour as wel, should be a good GB.
I’ll put a few feelers out there so others that don’t normally do Group Builds get a chance to see.
68GT: I like that too! I said I was going to avoid getting into a pile of GBs this year but I loved the '80s!!! Bestest decade ever - I even had hair back then!!!
I’d guess B.A. Baracus’ van would work???
O: Some great ideas there too!!!
The AR555, BV194, ME-p1099 and the FW Flitzer are all good choices for the X-Files group build. Aircraft, tanks, helicopters, ships are all good, as long as they were prototypes and experimental, or only had a few built (such as the DO-335). Shooting for June.

I have that kit in the stash too! The A Team was my favorite show as a kid of the 80s. I’d dig out my kit of Sonny Crockett’s Testarossa or Magnum PI’s 308.
Would love to add a paper panzer if there is a GB that includes the what-if armor designs.
Anyone have an interest in a Russian/Soviet, IDF, or modern armor GB? I have so many of these kits in the stash, and they never seem to come up.
There was both a Modern Armour GB and a Russian Armour GB in 2018.
GAF’s X-Files GB would allow a Paper Panzer.
I am thinking of running a ‘Vive la France’ GB for 2023
May have a race car for the '80s
Story of my life, three years late and a dollar short.
There did seem to be a lost in much interest in pure armour GB’s for a while after a number of armour builds left the forums. I stope running any new ones. But we seem to have more armour bulders joining so a pure armour GB might gather more interest now.
Cool! Airwolf was a my favorite TV show growing up. But watching the DVDs now it hasn’t aged well. The A-Team and Magnum PI on the other hand is as much fun today as it was back then. Never watched Miami Vice but hope you build the Magnum PI Ferrari!
Like that too!!! Sure I have a French tank for that!
Problem is I am already doing Hasegawa 72 scale X-29 for that GB. Maybe I’ll just do more than one for this particular GB.
