I have been wanting to do this for a while now and I haven't seen too much attention paid to planes designed to land on water. So, Modelcrazy and myself would like to do a GB to start in January and run till Dec. 31 2016.
It would be for Military and Civilian planes that were made to land on water. ie Float planes.
Simple rules.
Any plane that was made or alterned to land on water. Float planes, flying boats, etc.
Civilian or military.
Any scale.
Any era.
OOB or as much add-ons as you want.
Crossovers allowed.
I would love to see a ton of float planes being built. It's a category we don't see too much, but I think it would be fun. Jump in with any comments; I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
BK
On the bench:
A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!
2024 Kits on deck / in process / completed
14 / 5 / 2
The question was asked if flying boats are Okay. Yes, if it has wings, flys and lands on water it's in. Boats, floats, conversions, whatever is good.
Count me in. I have several in the stash.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
I did a quick search of my mancave closet and got these out. I may have a couple more on the top shelves in the garage. I know I have a 1/72 Jake that must be in the garage.
I'm leaning on the Albatros or one of the Japanese ones.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Bish, PJ, awesome ! Some neat subjects there for sure. I've decided to go with the Loire 130M from Azur. Looks just different enough for me.
Cool beans.....BK
I would love to get into that group build. I have a couple of planes that need some attention.

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

BrandonKI'm a sucker for that Kingfisher....
I can see that
I'm in with my Mirage Lublin XIII TER Hydro (Polish naval plane that shot up some Germans in Danzig at the start of the war).
I may also build an Ar-196A if I have the time for it.

ok Im in. but I have some time to choose
We've decided to add amphibious helos to the build as well. I think they will make a splendid addition.
The Group Build thread is now up in the GB forums. Sign up and let's all have a blast.
Good luck guys! I wish I could join you but I said I'd finish up my current GBs and not join anymore besides my own and then went ahead and signed on with Bish's 1946 GB and Wayne and Jibber's Dino build...
