Gary,
Sure, please put me down as TBD. Thanks!
Real G> Okay, your on the list. Looking forward to your choice!
Gary
K Gary I’ll aim at both!!!
We’ll see how it turns out…
Gamera> That’s the spirit! At least you can say you tried! [;)]
And I didn’t realize until I blew up the image that the turret has “April Fool” written on it!
Gary
Okay, I’m officially jumping in!
Here is the current state of play, photo taken last night:
^^^^ Neat-o!
That’s great, Real G! Such an odd aircraft. Similar to the Convair XF2Y-1 Sea Dart. Looks simple enough. Good choice!
Gary
Here are two I recently finished. You can put me down for a Special Hobby 1/72 D 558-I Skyrocket.
John,
Those are two beautiful Convair delta wing designs! Nice!
Got you down.
Gary
If approved, I would like to join in with Mengs Krupp Raumer S and Minenraumer in 1/72. These were prototypes of mine-clearing vehicles produced by the Germans in WW II. A review of the kit be found here:
Two very interesting vehicles. I’ve got you down. Do you plan to do them both?
gary
Yes, please put me down for both.
Just two weeks until the official start date of the GB. However, if you wish to get an early start, I won’t stop you. The “official start” is just my way of keeping track of when the GB is to end. Anything up to 50% leaves you a lot of leeway. [:)]
Gary
I think I’ll take you up on the early start. This arrived in the mail today:
I forgot how small 1/72 can be. Should be a couple of fun builds.
If your eyesight is poor (like mine), you’ll remember how SMALL 1/72nd can be! [clwn]
OTOH, looks like something science-fictiony. A couple of Star Wars Storm-Troopers beside them wouldn’t look out of place.
I may have to get an early start also. While browsing through the local antique mall I found this model of a 1991 release of a G8N1 Renzan.
It was $25, and fits into the GB as only four prototypes were built. I figure it will fit into Gamera’s Japanese GBs easily. [:D]
Gary
Gary, I mistakenly listed Meng as the maker of my kit. It’s actually Takom. Thanks.
Corrected. I was wondering about that. [:)]
Gary
Great choices guys!
Love those Cary, they do look like something out of a ‘Road Warrior’ movie.
Gary, super cool! I’ve got a 1/72nd G8 around here somewhere. Mine was in a Revell boxing. I wonder if it’s the same kit just reboxed.
Gamera,
Are you sure its a Revell boxing? Looking at Scalemates, AMT and FROG have released it, but no Revell. Maybe under a different name, like “Rita”?
Gary
I would like to insert a second iron in the fire (hi no naka ni nibanme no tetsu):
Constant bombing raids and news of the Red Army approaching the factory have delayed this project for some time. If the kit meets the criteria for less than 50% built, I’d like to put it in the queue.
