Odd Animals GB feeler

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

I’ve decided to take a crack at hosting a group build and want to gauge interest in an “animal” group build. Only, the name of the aircraft is mismatched, in that its named after a land animal or sea creature. Think Brewster Buffalo, Sopwith Camel or any of the Grumman Cats. Not only aircraft are qualified. Helicopters named after a sea/land creatures are welcome, as are land vehicles named after swimming/flying things.

I’m thinking of a start date on May 1st and have it run for a year. Anyone interested?

I have a hit for a Airacobra in the other thread and I’m good for a Warthog or Black Widow in 1/48 scale. (cant decide between them yet!)

Any other takers?

3

maybe a warthog or something will think and get back to you how about a duck .

A duck? Is this an aircraft named so? If it is, it wouldn’t qualify because ducks and aircraft both fly…

can I put you down as a maybe?

Hi Owl, I may be in with a 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar GR1A from ESCI…but it will all bank on when you want to start and when you want to finish and how much work I get done on other projects I’ve got running. So I guess I’m tentative for now.

ive got you down, oddman. The build is scheduled to begin May 1st and run for a year.

7

I got two animals but they arent mismatched

8

what animals do you have?

9

Yup, grumman produced a duck a goose a gossling and a widgeon. All flying boats. i think theres another one. not sure though.

Wouldnt mind seeing a beaver in this gb though.

a flying beaver…excellent! lol

11

A beaver

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and wont suggest your mind was in the gutter.[;)]

12

wait, what? I was talking about a large amphibious rodent that suddenly sprouted little wings, swooping around a creek. What are you talking about? [:|]

13

Im sure you were. Like i said, befit of the doubt.

14

Owl, I’m in. Not sure with what yet… and DUKW is an amphibiuous transport vehicle from WW2 vintage,no comment on beavers! [:#]

Looking at my shelf I got 2 Bike Kits that would fit.

Both are Honda “Steed’s” a 400cc and a Springer Fork Steed VLS, btw you 'mericans call those the “Honda Shadow”.

Need to get back into building mode as I also got a Ninja that needs to be done for the Hollywood GB.

16

I don’t know much about bikes, I’m an airplane girl to be honest, but I’m curious as to what the names of those bikes are? Are they named after a flying or swimming creature?

17

The Honda Steed/Shadow is a chopper or also often referred to as a Steel-Horse.

Like they do in some Bon Jovi songs " A Steel Horse I ride", etc.

The Honda Steed name is a bit tongue in check, Old Honda Motto was " If you ain’t got wings you can’t fly".

Refering to the wing emblem on the tanks of their Motorbikes, so Wings + Steed(Horse) = Pegasus = Flying Horse.

HTH.

As I stated on the other thread, i’m in for a maybe. I’ve got an A-10 that I can do for it. Just gotta find the decals that I want for it. Maybe starting a little late but if it’s for a year i’m for sure in.

19

alrighty, medicman. Im planning on doing a hog too. Are you doing one of the a10s in the pictures? I’m lovin that hog head on the nose!

I dunno, mad-modeler, it seems like a bit of a stretch. Hmmmmmm…a Pegasus would fit…
