Hey guys, I might toss this CZECH model idea out their again some time soon. Hope you guys keep ypour eyes open for it. Maybe after the new year some time.

Too busy mee too, if no other start one i'll try a feeler next incoming year

Spiralcity if you want to manage it i'm glad to join, i'm sure i'll have some short run in the stash

I'm up to my eyeballs with the one GB I'm running. If anyone else should drop by and decide to do one I'm game.

Sorry things didn't work out Spiralcity. Really cool idea, maybe in a year or so you can throw out the idea again and get a better response.

If someone wants to kick-off a short run GB I would be interested.

Oh well it was a good idea, and with the kits cheap on ebay and Squadron I thought there'd be more interest.

Bsyamato has a good idea about a general limited run build there though.

then what about a short run GB ?

The Fireball was so cheap I had to buy it !  

So far their arent any takers on this GB, so I think I'll scrap the idea.

For now i'm out, i search my vendor for czech models, but only 1/48 subjects and no subject that intresting me

will follow the group too

SC: Great! I'll be crossing my fingers.

Bsyamato: Yeah, I paid about half-price for my 'Dark Shark' - about $25.00 US and thought I was getting a deal. Now they mark it down to $8.00- grumble...

It and and 'Fireball' are so weird they probably don't sell well.

Crossovers would be ok, as long as the theme was a czech kit.

Gamera

Ah, ok my apologies.

Cool, I thought I'm the only one that's ever built the 'Shark'.

I looked though my stash and found a Ryan 'Fireball' and a Curtiss 'Seamew' from Czech Models that I could contribute if you start this.

PS: If anyone is interested and doesn't have a kit Squadron has a couple of CM kits on sale this month:

1/48

Ryan 'Fireball' - $39.99 marked down to $7.99

Ryan 'Dark Shark' - $39.99 marked down to $8.00

'Bamboo Bomber' - $60.00 marked down to $39.99

1/32

F-80 'Shooting Star' $79.99 marked down to $24.99

these prices are really down

Gamera

Sounds good!

Would you be allowing cross-overs? Another poster was thinking about a seaplane GB and the 'Seamew' would fit very nicely in both your GB and his.

Seaplane GB was really intresting question , but actually none in the stash and involved again in too many GB

Just today searching for a beriev 12 1/72 kit but only 1/144 kits avaible (again from amodel )

An insane idea to scratch one in 1/72 is surrounding me 

Sounds good!

Gamera, if a few more people show some interest I will get the group up and running

ozzman, Czech models is a brand released by squadron.

gamera, i wanted this to be a specific build aimed at czech only, their are plenty of kits and they can be found on ebay fairly cheap. I also have a few Classic Airframes on the shelf, but Czech kits are rarley built here and I thought it would be an interesting experiment.

I also built the Dark Shark, thats my kit in the photos above.

SC: I said I wouldn't enter any more GBs till I finish some more stuff off. Still I like to torture myself every now and then with a limited run kit so let me give you a definate maybe here.

I built the 'Dark Shark' about a month ago for Callsign Owl's 'Odd Animal GB' and yes it was an experience. Though frankly I've built worse limited run kits like say... ahhhhh Classic Airframes .

I think you would get more interest with a limited run in general GB though. Lots of them out there, as Bsyamato noted Amodel, Classic Airframes, Azur, and Sword. I'm sure there are quite a few more out there.

I had already been thinking of doing a Classic Airframes de Havilland Hornet for one of the out of business companies GBs.

Do you mean models made in the Czech Republic, or models of Czech subjects?

Finale bump!

Im gonna give this a bump just to see what happens....

yes, collecting only 1/72 for now

bsyamato

sorry but these kits are out of money for me and only 48 and 32 scale

You can find these on ebay for 1/4 of the price that retailers sell them for. I havent spent over 15.00 USD on a Czech kit yet.

1/48 yes...  You looking for 1/72?

sorry but these kits are out of money for me and only 48 and 32 scale

nice example, as the box says is a short-run kit

Imho to reduce the gb only to czech model is too limitative ,why not short-run kit gb?  

just today delivered another amodel short-run kit 

Their are PLENTY of Czech models to chose from. I limit this to Czech because I would like everyone to have the fine experience of building one of these bad boys... lol

As I said, there are PLENTY of Czech kits to chose from. I have at least 8 in my stash.

This is an example of the Czech kits.

bsyamato

never see one are short-run kits?

Czech Models can be found all over ebay. We did a prototype GB about a year ago and a couple of Czech kits where built their. I'll try to find a few pics of a few of the kits and post them.
