Aerobatics Team GB feeler...

Ha ha, I just bought 1/48 scale Blue Angels decals for an F-4J, guess I'm in come January for sure!

There is website you can check out:

I like clean aircraft in bright color schemes so this is a no-brainer for me. Now If I can learn how to post pictures, if I can transfer them from my camera to the computer, I would like to join this GB. I have been lucky enough to see every Thunderbird team from the F-100 forward and every Blue Angel team from the F-11-F1 forward. I have seen the Canadian team in the Tudors and the Red Arrows current Team (most impressive). I would like to see the Italian team and the USSR and Ukraine  Mig 29 teams. What else is out there? Would someone start a list. e.g. Blue Angel blue T-33, or Yellow F-8 Bear Cat  

Hey Gramps, Tentatively put me down for a Blue Angle F6F-5 (LtC. Roy "Butch" Voris [#1]).  Make, Model, Scale to follow.

I have a 1/32 Revell Red Arrows I've been looking at starting. Just not sure I'll have the time!

Sounds interesting to me. My wife has been wanting me to build an F4  Blue Angels since we saw the real thing last year

I know nothing of  group builds, however and don't own a camera to post pics if that is necessary.

Since I haven't been involved in a group build, could you explain the basics to me ?

I saw the Blue Angels earlier this summer in Traverse City. The first time I've seen them since they were flying F-4's. This will be a fun GB!

seasick -

I am well aware there are helicopter teams and have already included them (rotors) for this build. LOL!

Quite a few teams and should be open to helicopter teams as well as fixed wing.

USN/USMC Blue Angles, USAF Thunderbirds,  RAF Red Arrows, Canada Forces Snowbirds, French AF Patrouille de France, Swedish AF Team 60, Hellenic AF F-16 Demo Team, Italian AF Frecce Tricolori, Indian AF Surya Kiran,  Ukrainian AF Ukrainian Falcons, Japanese ASDF Blue Impulse, Brazilian AF Smoke Squadron, Polish AF Team Iskry,  South African AF Silver Falcons, Royal New Zealand AF Red Checkers, Turkish AF Turkish Stars, and several more. Current sanctions prevent any Russian entries.

Hmmm...  I have a bunch of irons in the fire at the moment, but I think I might be able to work something in given the time frame. It sounds like an interesting GB.  Let me give it a think, as far as subject and I'll get back to you...  Raymond
