Helicopter GB

For some reason helicopter GBs haven't been very popular here. If you can round up a couple of others I'll participate just on the principle of having a helicopter GB for a change.

The badge is nice but rather huey focused, if its going to be a general helicopter GB it would be nice to see more variety.

Personally I lean towards the weird and colorful like this.

yep i'm up for that,stick me down for an OH-13/bell 47

paul 

count me in! Ill pick a helo up this weekend

If this pushes through, Im joining with either a KA-50 Kamov or a UH-1N in 1/72 (Italeri). Im currently doing an Italeri AH-64A Apache and an Academy AH-64D Longbow.

I was going to start an Academy Tree Phrog (CH-46A/D "US Marines - Vietnam").  It's going to take me a very long time.  I'd be interested in a GB.  I'm working on a howitzer right now, but the phrog is up next.

Semper Fi,

Ground rules?  You know, AM or OOB, started or not, crossovers, real or what-if, etc.?  You could check other GB's for samples.

It's not my build but my I'd suggest keeping it pretty open for maximum participation.

Hell cat man here is a typical format, feel free to steel it, edit it it and re-post it (that's what I did). Once you have it all together remember to start a post in the GB section.

**Not official, just a format if Hellcat man wants to use it**

Name of GB

Brief paragraph describing the GB

The rules for this GB are as follows:

1. Time period from July 20th 2008 to December 20th 2008.

2. Any era, any scale.

3.  OOB, AM, and scratchbuilding ok

4.  Civilian, military, prototypes, and what ifs are allowed.

5.  Progress pics, research, history, trivia etc (yes, no to any all, basically how "busy" do you want the build)   

6. Kits started before the GB are ok, up to 50% complete. Crossover builds are permitted.

Badge display during build or only after completion?

Thanks aaron The GB badge will be given out upon completion and i think it is now safe to take this over to the GB forum. Also aaron why dont u join us we need a few more bodies

Oh, I plan to participate, I'll be doing a 1/72 scale Italeri RAH-66 Commanche. 

I just got the kit the other day, since the Army killed the program who knows how long the kit will stick around. Looks like a nice easy build too. 

ok heres mine,well 2!

you were talking about civil and military variants so i dug both versions out of my stash.

Count me in with a 1/48 Academy CH-46A/D Sea Knight, but I don't think I'll be done before December 20.  I'd still like to hang in with the GB, if nobody minds. 

Semper Fi,

Chris
