This is a group build that’s out there. Build an aircraft or vehicle that did not get out of the prototype stage, or at least only a few were made as experiments. This could include the Valkyrie, the YF-12, the N-9M Flying Wing, the X-15, the NF-104A, YF-23, rocket cars, air racers, etc. Anything modified beyond standard. Heck, even the Wright Flyer was experimental at one time!
Builds are open to suggestions. Only kits that are under 50% completion considered (that’s open to interpretation). The Group Build will begin this October 14th, 2023 (the date of Chuck Yeager’s flight in the X-1) and last until October 15, 2024. Remember, have fun and let’s see what sort of x-perimental craziness you can come up with!
Sounds like you and Gamera have birthdays very close together. Congrats to you!
As for the Do-335, it makes it into “very few” produced, so yeah, it qualifies!
Don’t worry! You have just over a month to decide. They all look like good models. As a suggestion, I think the Caudron would be a good choice as it would fit in your planned French GB. I’ll put you on the list. [:)]
I have been thinking of maybe swapping out mine for this FV4005. British Cold War tank destroyer with a 182mm gun, the biggest gun EVER mounted on a AFV hull. The British built one and killed the project when every time you fired the gun the recoil almost ripped the turret off the thing’s hull…
John (Keavdog)> I found one of the Revell boxings at a local model show for $15. I’m sure that if you look around you can find one. Be patient. Would love to have you for this group build, sir. I know you do awesome work. [:)]
Real G> Should I put you down as “To Be Determined”? Sound like you have a lot of choices.
Gamera> Well, I wouldn’t want to influence you, but why not do both? The GB will last a year. [:D]
To everyone else who expressed an interest, please post here for confirmation. I don’t want to put anyone down who doesn’t feel up to it or thinks they don’t have a model that fits.
