Made In USSR GB

Posted by ozzman on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 4:58 PM

This is the group build for things made in the USSR! Crossovers, WIPs (less than 50%), everyone is welcome. The starting date will be May 25, and it will end one year later, so there is plenty of time. Aftermarket, conversions, scratchbuilt, go ahead! One more note: lend lease vehicles are not allowed, but Soviet vehicles used by other countries (example: T-62 in Czech markings) are okay. Have a blast everyone!

Thank you ozzman

As much as i would love to take part in this GB, i am refraing from any new ones for a while because i am so up to my neck in other builds. But there was a Soviet Union GB that finished less than a year ago.

/forums/t/119859.aspx?PageIndex=1

I could be wrong, and hopefully i am, but it could be a bit soon for another one. But if it gets off the ground, i will watch from afar.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I've finally just got round to cracking open Trumpeters 1/72 Tu-160, its started but I'm only got to the point of building the seats & painting the some cockpit parts......................... added to that, it's not likely to be finished any time soon.

So depending on the timescale & weather I can join considering that I have already started?

Put me in for either a DML 1/35th BMP (have to dig in the stash to see what version) or a DML 1/35th T-72. These are from a 20+ year stash and i need to build some of them rather than buy new stuff.

I have a Trumpeter MiG 3 that is just looking for an excuse to be bumped to the head of the production line.... what are the start/end dates of the GB?

What he said. I'm also in the Panzer III GB that starts 1 July. Doesn't really matter, I've got a pretty empty dance card.

What about the GB badge? I'm no good with Photoshop, but I can skillfully snark from the back of the room.

I'd like to jump in on this. I do not have a kit yet but I can look around to see what I can acquire! I will let you know what i can build if and when this GB becomes official.

I can also help with the badge if you need me to.

The badge.. lots of bad ideas come to mind:

Made in USSR, Fixed in Poland

Made in USSR, not for domestic use

In Soviet Russia, model makes you!

Made in USSR, Bozhe moi!

Ditto with mig-31

if not too busy i'll add after the su-34 (in the box, only some weapon glued) or the antonov (just some glued part)
