Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Count me in please. May be a late start though, like after I graduate in December and finish up a couple other builds. I'm going to plan for a airliner for now but maybe a 1/72 F/A-18F I picked up recently.

Thanks,

Chris

Cody,

Don't worry about it yet. I'll start a new post in the GB section next month. I'll text you so you can get page 2.

Glad to have you aboard.  I haven't seen you around,  but I may not have been looking in the right places.

The '27 was a great plane. One tough bird. I have a kit with Alaska livery in my stash somewhere.

Jack,

Those are sweet looking markings, I love the Peashooter, it has such cool lines. I did one for the Yellow Wing GB, Academy kit. Hated the decals and the engine exhaust, but it was a nice kit otherwise.

Mach71,

Yessir, I don't care if it flew or not. If Boeing has anything to do with it, it will work.

Myself, I have soooo many ideas knocking around in my head, all the way from a PT-17 to the B-29 "Old Battler". I will be building a 727 in Braniff livery (Ultra Blue Metallic N426BN) for sure though. I'm just crazy about 727's, I just need to find a matching paint.

Nice idea for a GB.

I have several resin kits of the X-20. Would that count? It never flew and only made it to the mockup stage.

Slick looking badges! Yes

Put me down, plans are for a Peashooter with a twist on it's markings.  Something along these lines:

regards,

Jack

Definitely count me in.  I need to jump back on my B-17E.  I'm doing "Old 666."  This is just the what I need to get back in there. =]

She's the Revell 1:48 B-17F "Memphis Belle"  I'm converting it to an E.

30,000 ft, maybe we should start the engine! Boeing Build starts June 15th
Posted by modelcrazy on Saturday, May 16, 2015 12:13 AM

Ok, it’s time to start a pre build thread to introduce, remind and pencil in members for the 2015, 2016 Boeing Build.
This build will start on June 15 2015 to commemorate the first flight of Boeing’s Model 1, Boeing’s first production model, and well run a year till June 15 2016, Model 1’s 100th anniversary.
It will be run by CodyJ and myself, with yours truly as host and CodyJ as co-host.

The rules will be simple.
1. It is open to ANYTHING Boeing, Boeing partners, and Boeing acquired companies, i.e. McDonnell Douglas, Bell etc.
2. As stated above it will last a year + 1 day.
3. Crossovers are allowed.
4. PE, AM, scratch building is allowed.
5. WIP pics area must, also consider posting a different WIP thread to show off you outstanding work to others who aren’t watching the GB.
6. Partially started build are acceptable.
7. Join anytime during the timeframe.
8. Any scale, as many builds as you like.
9. Have fun.

This build is wide open to whatever you can think of Boeing related, Biplanes, Bombers, Fighters, Airliners, Missiles, Space and companies like Ford and BMW are even partnered with Boeing.

Here are some links to get some ideas.
Spiderbook Boeing partner list
Boeing Planes Certainly not the entire list.

I have a list of some who are/were interested since its conception last August. If you were interested and I forgot you, sorry, I simply didn’t find the post were you expressed interest. There has been quite a bit of reference to this upcoming build over the months in several different threads.
Let me know if you want to/still want to jump in.
