Canadian Group Build feeler

hi shivinigh

i did the canadian LAV-III in UN white and the COUGAR, also in UN white. this one will be IFOR with nato green and black camo. working on an M-706 4x4 for police GB, M-38 jeep with 106mm RR for IDF build, and picked up a PLA ZSL-92 and 92 B to go with the A in my stash.

I would love to get into this GB being a Toronto boy myself. I have Italeri's CF-5 1/72 scale to throw in.

Waynec- I did Trumpeters Grizzly kit and you will enjoy putting that one together. I was really impressed with the detail in the kit.

There will actually be a great deal of options here - opening it up to what-ifs could add some interesting options as well. Looking forward to seeing this on start up.

Yes there will be a new thread started with all the details.

What-ifs are fine as long as they're in some some type of Canadian Forces markings.

If you want to make a Canadian Apache, aircraft carrier etc.  creativity is welcome!

I had a look through the stash. I have a Hasegawa T-33 with leading Edge Silver Shark decals, some decals for an CF-17 or some very nice ones for some CF-104s. I also have an Airfix Chippy with Canadian markings.

I'm leaning towards the T-33 or Chippy.

Cheers

Don't think its been specified either way, but I've got options for both "real" and "what-if" scenarios...

I'm kind of fair-weather when it comes to GBs, but I have been enjoying these country oriented ones, so I believe I will be in, as long as it goes to the end of the year.

Will "what ifs" count? If so, I think I got a pretty good one in mind.

I'm registering my interest. Will there be an a new thread for it ?

Cheers

i'm in. trumpeter AVGP GRIZZLY (early model) in IFOR camo

Definitely still on, start date will be May 1st.

Crossovers and already started will be welcome so if you have the itch already have at 'er

I'm in, but won't likely be starting anything until summer.

are we on for this?

I have 10 Sabres in my stash with many assorted RCAF decals to go with them.  I might play but I already have a lot on my plate.

The 1078 no, as for the 1083 looks similar to our HLVW

does the canadiam army use M-1078 4x4 or M1083 6x6 trucks?

i'm interested . how about a start date of 01APR since i have something in the queue already?

As well as my what-if birds, I have a pair of Sabres, a Vampire, and a Mosquito... I'll be watching for the GB & timeline....

I've got a leopard 2a6m with slat armour to add a little afv action to this GB.

Jack I like!!

Cool, then I'm in, and May 1st sounds good to me, or any date to be set for that matter..  I'd be in with a Spit (mk I or Vb, not sure yet) with Eduard etch, CMK guns and engine, maybe a little extra resin elsewhere.

Being a Canadian, would be a shame to pass this one up, though I can't see myself starting anything till close to the end of the year.  I too was going to ask about the markings aspect since I don't build much subjects post WW2 - or is this more of a modern GB theme?

Anyhow, here is a possible badge proposal:

regards,

Jack

Sure why not

Anyone good with making badges?

Would a start date of May 1st seem reasonable?

I'd be interested, especially if Canadians in the RAF qualify

Haven't put a lot of thought into a timeline yet

I may crossover with the operation overlord or do another kit...... Choices.....

my build will be a big 2 fingered salute to america land lol (and no it isnt an arrow)

After careful consideration I've made my choice ;

I'll build an 1/72 RCAF H-34A using the Italeri kit and belcher Bits decals

I have lot's of 1/72 Canadian kits and decals , so I'll sign up .

I love Group Builds

Certainly watching this one, for obvious reasons! Not sure if I'll be able to commit to a kit yet though. I've got a couple of "what-if" RCAF birds on the short term list though.
