new GB idea...ROK GB

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

this group build will be devoted to the military or civilian equipment of the Republic Of Korea. the civillian equipment would be hyondae, daewoo, kia etc korean car brands (they are korean. I’m really saddened to see that people think they’re japenese) the military ones can be anything from tanks to a/c and navy/marine stuff.
this is only an idea, to see what people think and how many are willing to participate.
I think I’m going to do the F-5E korean version.

members in so far:
jinithith2- haven’t decided but leaning towards an ROK F-5E
PakNick-40- ROK F-16

It sounds like a good idea jinith,are you hosting the GB?

3

What other a/c does the ROK have?

4

yep!

5

they have F-16’s and I think they just got T-50’s.
I’ll give more info later. I GTG right now[:D]

Wy don’t you go out to Google and research some ROK aircraft pics and post them here? (hint hint, helping you build up your appeal on the GB)

I did a simple Google search for ROK Aircraft and came up with many pages… one of which I learned the ROK used both the IL-10 Soviet fighter AND the P-51D.

yeah they are for a flight-sim but I guarantee those guys do as much research as modelers most of the time…

—edit—

I see you got negative after 40 minutes and no one joining your GB. My Midway GB was up for 4 days before anyone replied except 2 people from another GB I was in, now I have about 20 people in on it… you have to be patient… negative posts like that might drive people away…

Okay, Im in Jinith with a P-51D

8

Pak, how on earth are you going to get ROK dcelas for it?

9

I have no idea,maybe ill hand paint them[:D]

hold your horses!
I just found out that the new Academy f-16 in 1/32 has markings for ROK KF-16 and a 1/48 F-16 by Academy has markings for ROKAF (republic of korea air force)!
that’s kewl!

14

Awesome,you gonna get it?

15

probably [:D]

16

Always can print your own decals on Testors or Micromark decal paper. i did that for some Red Chinese markings. Just a thought.

17

They have decal paper?awesome!

18

ooops forgot to ask…how much is it?

19

$6.95 for 5 sheets(8.5x11) @ micromark, cheaper per sheet if you buy in bulk. Google on the web and you’ll find other souces. You need a fixatibe spray also, Krylon Crystal Clear works.
