Uuuuhh...crap.  =/  They'll be 1:48.  I can tell you that.  I might go with the Academy Phantom, and as for the Thud I honestly haven't completely decided.  I'd been reading reviews on that a while back.  I will get back to you.  ;)

Count me in stik! I have a Phantom and a Thud I'd like to see done.  That'd be as perfect an opportunity as any.  =]

Hey Stik.  You are bad.....very bad!  Wink  But I'm sure I have an aircraft that will fit the bill in the stash.  Don't want to commit to a kit yet, but I will say yes to joining the GB!

Today, on the 39th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, and the end of that war, I am putting out the feeler announcement for a Vietnam War GB on here. It will kick off August 4th 2014 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Tonkin Gulf Incident, and run until April 30th 2015, the 40th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. This GB willbe open to any and all subjects that participated in the Vietnam War, post 1957, land, sea, or air, any scale, any medium, from all nations involved (US, NVN, SVN, Aussie, ROK,Laotian, Thai, Cambodian,Chinese, Soviet) including "civil" subjects such as chartered airliners (Freedom Birds) or Soviet "fishing trawlers" tailing US Carrier battle Groups.

Rules of Engagement:

1) Any kit, any scale or subject in any medium- plastic, resin, paper, metal, etc. of any subject that participated in directly or support of the war In Vietnam during the post Geneva Accords perios from 1957 thru 1975 with the fall of Saigon and immediate aftermath operations such as the Mayaguez Incident.
