Primary Role : Fighter/Heavy Fighter

Secondary Role as Light Bomber/DiveBomber, etc is OK.

Start Date: Sep. 10, 2008

A PRIZE is involved! ( A bribe to join)

We need 4 others as minimum

A twin engine Kit as a Free prize…at end date :slight_smile:

Method of Choosing a winner: I will use a computer program to “roll the dice” for each person, in turn, one roll at a time, UNTIL, a PAIR (TWIN!) is rolled. that be the winna. Value of kit will be less than $30. Just cause i like doing stuff like that.

Badge to be figured out in a few weeks!

When would the start date be? I’ve got a few in my stash that may work…

3

How about a start date of when we get 3 or 4 signed up ? …might be today…or next week…or … LOL. Soon though!

I know I wont be able to start my kit till December time frame !

BTW, I was looking at Twin fighters, and saw that there is a Special Hobby FW-187 Kit available for those FW folks

edit: moved to top post

Cool idea…

You might want to gain some interest by posting on the aircraft link as well.

Hmm, what to choose?

I’ve got the Nichimo Ki-45 kit which I started last week, the Tamiya Gekko (early and late versions), a ProModeller Bf.110G, and a Beaufighter…

6

would a He-219 nightfighter be OK?

7

Very much so! Please do hang out with us :slight_smile:

What I do, is go to Wikipedia, and search the Aircraft. the description in the Box to the Right of the Page has a “Role” title, indicating what, I will take to be its primary role.

8

I may join but im not sure yet, I’ll probably join once I finish some of the other GB’s I’m in

9

I could be tempted to join with something, not sure what. The Eduard BF110 in captured markings is tempting.

10

I myself have joined quite a few GB’s…but I need the “direction” lol.

like many other GB’s, join anytime!

11

I may join as I have several possibles in the stash … a 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 110, Tamiya 1/48 kits such as the Do 335, Mosquito, Beaufighter, Me 262 … but I also have several unfinished builds ahead of me so it will really depend on when the end date is.

12

Will end May, 2009.

13

I’ve got a few in the stash that would fit nicely into this theme. Count me in. [tup]

14

PM me with your kit(s) of choice, I will get some kinda offical thing going, or edit my first post accordingly.

15

k since I have lots of time count me in for Dragon’s 1/72 He-219A-5/R-1, out of the box

thanks.

16

thank you, and duly noted!

17

bspeed, its Very tempting!Im in 2 gb right now, as you know. I have something in mind, but its a HUGE undertaking, and I dont know if I could possibly finish it in time. I have a Trump P38LO5 and a hole box of resin and pe to convert to a P38M. But as right now, I dont know if I have the skill to finish it in time. Im kinda strugling with what I got…But I am tempted…Harv

18

Moved the End Date out. join anytime [:D] It’s all for the fun of it.

Should be a great looking badge though, have an Artist working on it!

19

Count me in with a Monogram 1/48 P-38. Several markings, just got to decide which one…and hurry and finish the other GB’s I’m in.

Thanks, and Welcome to the GB.
