Owl: I'm still willing to jump in with an Airfix JA-37 Viggen- Swedish for 'Thunderbolt'.

I would be interested in contributing the USS Wisconsin, BB-64.  "Wisconsin" is a corruption of an Algonquian word for the river--and when it floods it's a force of nature.

Sounds interesting. I have a DML/Dragon 1/48 Me163 Komet in my stash that would work. Count me in. I can get going on it as soon as my Virago for the NMF GB is finished.

Possibly, though I don't have a good picture of my build plans beyond the next two kits.

ooooh! Nice fit. Ill accept it. I dont travel over the ship sub-forum much, so seeing a battleship built would be pretty cool.  How big is your model?

I think Kermit expressed interest in this GB too.

It would be 1/700 scale from Fujimi.  It was marketed as USS Iowa, but is incorrect for Iowa.  It is actually closer to either the Wisconsin or the Missouri, which were (so I found in research) virtually identical.

It comes out to a little over 15 inches, bow to stern.

its was suggested in my other thread to narrow it down to only terrestrial phenomena, and leave out space and plant names. That would disqualify your Komet. Would you still be interested in joining with another kit?

sounds good!

Interesting idea. Given the time frame, imwould be in if i clear up my other GB commitments first. I have just started on another Chinook, but afraid that will be half done by the end of the month.

Hmm...Ki-84 perhaps? Hayate means "gale" after all...

how about you?

I take it Whirlwind is exceptable?

Two questions:

1) Are you limiting it to real-life subjects?

2) Would a particular craft's name work, or will it be limited to the type's name?

The reason I ask is that I have a kit from a sci-fi anime for a plane called the Yukikaze and this would be a great excuse to get it out.

It's cool if you say it wouldn't fit.  I'd just have to think of something else.

Sci-fi would be acceptable; Its the name that is important. What does Yukikaze mean? Kaze is "wind", right?

sure is

Thanks. My options are 2 types of Thunderbolts and two types of Whirlwind. Seeing as the former is looking rather popular, i will go for the latter. But as i say, put me down as a posable.

HA, ive got enough on my plate right now. What with the airfix GB soon to wrap up. My cyberpunk GB just about to start. My entry in the Berny build. Still got my F-5, my DC-3 an F-15 and a B-25 waiting to be finished. Once ive cleared my bench ill be starting on my Motorcopter (Dieselpunk subject for the cyberpunk GB) the next 6 months are pretty full on for me. Maybe once ive cleared a bit away ill look at it again.

Put me down as TBD.

One of the many " On-Going " projects I have started is a series of Westland Helicopters ;

There are two Italeri HO4S-3 helicopters I intend building as Westland Whirlwind HAS Mk.9 and HAR-2 birds .

I'll be using Rotor Crafts resin update set for the HAS-9 build as it has the correct nose and tail boom and finished in the Signal red / Blue-Gray scheme . Along with an all yellow HAR-2 with RAFDec decals .

It will probably be several months before I can start the Whirlwind helicopter builds as I still have a ton of other work to get through first but put me down with a HAS-9 and HAR-2 Whirlwinds .

Hi Owl -- intriguing! I've been looking for an excuse to build a Raiden (Thunderbolt) for some time now. I can't promise when I'll be aboard, but I'm sure I can!

Cheers, Thunderbolt379

In fact, if you are deffinatly starting on 1st July, i will enter my Chinook. I will get some pics up this week to make sure there not to much progress, but i have only just got the pit built, so it should be fine. I can put it on hold for one week, i am on leave the last week of the month so won't be able to do anything that week anyway.

But i am building it for a mate at work, so i don't want to put it off to long.

Miss Owl,

I have meticulously tortured my amphibian brain over the past 24 hours and i decided on the thunderbolt at first. Mark me down for an Academy P47D Bubbletop in 1:72 scale please Still planning on a hurricane but would have to purchase a kit first...

Richard

awesome guys, it seems like there's a lot of interest! I'll the get the official GB thread posted! d Head on over and make sure I got all your build info correct. Also, please include company and scale of your kit if I dont have it listed. Thanks!
