GB build idea.................for the distant future

Cool !

Hey Brandon...  I thought I had already posted to this thread a while back, but I may have been hallucinating ;-)  I'd love to do this, and I've already got one in mind.  Supposedly, Greg Boyington led six P-40s into a mass crash landing due to low fuel while he was in the AVG.  They ended up landing on a Chinese cemetery on top of a mountain.  If I recall either three or four went gear up, the remainder went gear down.  The ones that went in gear up were able to be put back together and flown out, the others were FUBAR.  In order to get Chennault off his back, Boyington agreed to fly the damaged birds back.  

So, what I'll do is one of the P-40s being repaired on site, with Boyington getting chewed out by a crew chief.  

Let us know the where and whens, cuz I'm in on this one!!!  Raymond  

I'm currently doing B-17 Chowhound after it crashed in a French farmers field. If anyone has any pictures of it after it was shotdown, I need to see them. I can't find any on the internet. So, if I don't find the pics, i'll make it how i think it may have looked.

Archangel,

It won't necessarily be an airliner.  I've flown in a Bell 47 Sioux, Sea Stallion, DeHavland Beaver, and next spring my wife has treated me to a ride in a B-17

If you're looking for GB ideals...one I been thinking about but would never have the time to run one myself, would be....'Favorite Aircraft you have flown in'. Of course this can be a build that can cross both military and commercial kits. If I didn't have so much on my plate now I would throw it out but maybe someone can pick up on it, I don't believe I ever seen such a GB here.

Holy cow, that's amazing!! That would fit, why not.

I might be intrested in doing this A-6 if it fits inside the rules.

I always enjoy working in some battle damage, sounds like that may be fun. It would have to last a while I should think, due to the build time of such a display.

I've seen quite a few builds like that over the years. Seen a few at shows too. Great builds. Best one was from the book "A Higher Call".  Shot up B-17 with a Bf-109 helping him reach the channel to get home.

Great idea!
