I will do the Revell 1/72 P-26A Peashooter. Probably start in a couple of months though.

4

I’m in. 1/72 Monogram P-6 Hawk with all the Lost Starfighter goodies.

5

This will be my entry, I have been saving this kit for a few years now and have decided to bite the bullet and just go for it.

Theuns

6

Actually I bought the Academy 1/48 Peashooter and start on it tomorrow.

Do you have a badge for the GB yet, or did I just miss it?

7

I’l do either one of my Hobbycraft P-26’s or one of my Monograms TBD’s.

8

What do you think of these. Just a quick work up. No problem if you don’t like them.

I personally like the one with the planes :slight_smile:

Ok here I go. The kit I bought came with PE, which I very rarely have. I will enjoy this build.

My building companion. Stays next to me and follows me wherever I go.

11

Crazy, does that come standard with the Academy boxing? Or was the PE just and extra goodie someone through in there?

12

Extra goodie [:P] although the kit is pretty nicely detailed already.

13

Now that is a carpet “monster”…sorry couldn’t resist :slight_smile:

I am interested to see how that little academy kit builds up.

Theuns

14

Yeah, he’s my buddy.

The kit looks like alot of fun. I’m really going to try to do a stellar job on it. Should take me all month (thats long for me).

15

I didn’t realize this had already started. For some reason, I thought it didn’t begin until after the first of the year.

16

Yeah, the way the rest of the world writes the date throws me off as well. I had to look at it twice to see that the GB started the15th.

17

Rule 5 has it starting November 15th, running 6 months till May 15th 2015.

18

Yea, that’s how we roll here on the southern tip of Africa, we write the dates like the Brits day/month/year LOL.

well this will slow me down a bit. I had part of my thumbnail removed because It grew back wrong after an RC airplane “incident” last December.

Maybe it grew the wrong way cause you got “servo revercing” on that thumb :wink:
