I got the 1/48 DML LEM on sale from Squadron, so I'm officially in.

I think it's a pretty nice looking kit.

You can put me down for this one. Since it doesn't start for a while, I'm not sure what I'll build yet, But I'm thinking about DML's LEM.

The picture associated with Gemini in the above pic is NOT a Titan that launched it.

Ohhh...and personally, I like this pic of Neil better...

I took the soft option John, no B-52. Yours will look far more interesting though.

I'll still build the X-15 along side Tony , However I spied this kit last week and bought her and she just arrived at the front door

Monogram 1/72 B-52B with X-15 ...

I'll attach my X-15 under the wing on the B-52 , should look good .

I found out that Armstrong flew the NF-104A, the 104 with the rocket engine and reaction control system. Made famous in The Right Stuff when Yeager crashed it. I've had the parts in my stash for quite awhile and this is a great incentive to get going on it. So please put me down for a 1/48 Hasegawa F-104G with the Cutting Edge bits to build a NF-104A.

My Monogram X-15 has arrived, so I'm ready to commence and I will hold my breath until July 2013.

I know everyone likes to poo-poo it here, but check wikipedia. It has more aircraft he flew and some very interesting stories!

It seems good with everyone and gives people plenty of time to get their kits together, join, finish other GB's etc.. I'll keep bumping the topic every so often to keep it fresh. You could also put a sign near your build labled "Armstrong GB 7/20/13" to help :)

Just a question:  The start date of 7/20/13 is almost 11 months from now.  I'm not sure if I can even remember that long!  Are you sure that's when you wish to start?

All good for me. X-15 kit acquired. Thanks for the tip John, fed my ebay addiction.

I can give you a definite "Maybe".  Armstrong was commander on Gemini 8.

I have an old Revell 1/24 scale Gemini capsule that needs to be "restored" (stripping the old paint from the parts, redoing it with some extras) if that is acceptable.  It will give me a good excuse to pull it out of the box and finally re-do it.

This shows Armstrong with a capsule about the same size as the one I have.

P.S.>  Just as a note, the name is spelled "Neil".
