This is for all of you at the RA Group Build II !

Guy-

Glad to see you've got me on the list!

Hey this is starting to look like a real GB. I dont believe it.

Frank the Badge is the schizzel my friend. I love it.

Congo, what a bonus, having a chum who can do PE. I did it a while ago but the shorts didnt fit very well....there were police cars and screaming..I dont want to go into it...

Be damn interesting to see what you can do with the 21st Cent kit

If anyone knows of any good sites foer refs, pics etc. Give me a PM and ill post emn up here near the Beginning so's everyone can find them.

...Guy

Yeah, we have a GB. Guy, glad you got this one going and looking forward to this build, all the usuall suspects are here

Steve

Yey Steve, we got ourselves a convoy LOL. Alex, is that sucker 1/48th? Good choice btw, not one of the usuall fare. I like it. Thx for committing considering you have other GB's on the go.

...Guy

Well Guy looks like you have managed to round up all of the usual suspects! It should be another great GB. I especially like the rule about enforcing the other rules with a little violence when needed. Nothing works better than a good pounding to keep em' in line! its a good stress reliever too! I have some really good BW and color photos of the SM 79 if anyone is looking for some camo ideas or reference pics. Here is one of my favorites.

                                                                                 Soulcrusher

Stunning pic SC, keep em coming. I love the 79 as well. It has to be my fav Italian plane. I have a few pics as well. The 2nd is my fav.

...Guy

Thoses two are in my collection also. The second one you posted is also one of my favorites. The squadron emblem is pretty cool. The Electric Man. My other favorite squadron emblem is the one from the 162a Squadrigilla of the black cat with the words "warning this car scratches!"

                                                                                  Soulcrusher

Guy, by the way, the kit I will be building is a hasegawa 1/48.

Steve

NP Steve, Updated the front page. Im off out any sce. Allegedly to get christmas prezzies but im mainly going out to buy kits for me Muwahahahahah.

...Guy

I was considering to keep quiet on this GB's title but seeing the interest you guys are showing I decided to say what I have to say:

Reggiane was an aircraft manufacturer, like FIAT or Macchi, the correct name for the Royal Italian Airforce is "Regia Aeronautica".
So if, like I understood from your posts, this build is about the Italian Airforce in WW2 the correct name should be "Regia Aeronautica GB". 

Sorry to burst in this thread to play teacher, but I feel I had to at least tell you.

Who knows, maybe If I complete some of the models I have scheduled I might join this GB ... that is if you still want me.

Of course your more than welcome Klaus and thx for putting us straight. Hell, what the heck do i know. All information is good information in my eyes. Illl ammend the front pge accordingly.

...Guy

Well , im back from the LHS and have the most beautifull bird in the Italian Airforce..

The Macchi C.205 Veltro. yummy yummy. The only slight downer is its in JG77 colours. I think that means i need some decals to Italianise the sucker, Ho hum, heres she is in all her splendor.

...Guy

Klaus- Good on you for that info!  Guy- I'll change the badge to reflect that.

Good score on the Veltro!  I looked all over yesterday on the Internet trying to find one, evidently those are hard to find.

OK, new badges are ready:

Regular size:

Small size:

Frank, you are the man. Ive just done the last of my Crimbo Shopping, so im off to have a crack at my 109 pit. Hopefully, have that sucker done ready to start my Italian stunner.

Oh and i found some decals, Woo hoo.

http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=SKY48020

Sweeeeeet.

...Guy

P.s Wonder how Gummy is getting on (Aaron @ the dentist)

Guy the Hasegawa Mc 205 is a sweet kit. I build one a while back and the fit is as good as any kit I have ever built. Start praticing you smoke ring camo. Its really tough to pull off.

                                                                                    Soulcrusher

Hey Frank, those PCM kits are the biz. Dont they come with loads of resin and stuff?

SC, it looks lovely. Really has to be on eof the prettiest looking planes of WW2 for sure. As for the smoke ring camo. Im nnnoottt nerrrvvoouuss at all. LOL.

...Guy

Yep, resin, Cartograph decals and Eduard PE! 

I have wanted to build one after seeing one up close and persnal at the USAF Museum in Ohia.

Would you mind terribly changing my entry to that one?

Done, Big boy.

...Guy

I'm in! Put me down for MAhacci (forgive the spelling, edit please) 202c. Veletro made by 21st century toys. As the manufacture's name suggests, It's kinda toyish but pretty aggurate. Oh, and yes. It's 1/32nd.

Graham aka Boba Fett.

Heres a good pic i found on another Italian website about our respective builds. Just for you Frank (And anyone else planning an MC 200)

The rest of the Italian plane website is on pge 1 for reference.

In the spirit of giving, heres some footage from a film, ive never seen, for Soulcrusher. Spectacular footage of SM 79's.
