Okay, Maybe I'm crazy here, but I can't leave the ladies out of this build. So, on that note, I am adding Lydia to my Aces builds Lydia Vladimirovna Litvyak (Лидия Владимировна Литвяк, (Moscow, August 18, 1921 – Krasnyi Luch [1] August 1, 1943), also known as Lydia Litviak or Lilya Litviak, was a fighter pilot in the Soviet Air Force during World War II. With at least 12 solo victories[2][3] and at least four[4] shared kills over a total of 66 combat missions,[5] over about two years of missions, she was the first female fighter pilot to shoot down an enemy plane, the first female fighter pilot to earn the title fighter ace, and she holds the record for the greatest number of kills by a female fighter pilot. She was shot down near Orel during the Battle of Kursk as she attacked a convoy of German planes. I want to do her white Yak 1b

Ken,

I have a third Ace I want to add. This will be a crossover from my Mustang Build.

It is a 1/32 Hasegawa P-51 D Flown by William Whisner with 15.5 kills.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Windows 8.1. Yeah....about that. I'm used to it now and just stay on the old desktop theme. I don't have a tablet so I don't understand the aps thing. I do have a touch screen, which is pretty cool.

Thanks Guys. My apologies for not being online for a few days. I've been in some major computer problems. Now, I bought a new laptop and It seems like I have to learn computers all over again. Been a lot changes happening with these things. But as usual I skipped over some of the Windows. I went from Windows Vista to Windows 8.1. I'll get everything updated again tomorrow. Ken

Heres the kit for the P-47 Little Demon that was flew by Maj. Walter Beckham from the 351st Fighter Squadron.

Looks easy but fun.

Put me in for  1/48 Lindberg Republic P-47 Thunderbolt flown by Walter C. Beckham.

This is a real easy kit. I got it because it had two planes in it. Story in the other thread.

1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Vb Trop 

George "Buzz" Beurling

1/9 scale custom made bust of Beurling

I am considering making a another one of Buerling's Spitfires for this GB, I will let you know.

Ideally, I'd like to display Beurling's bust with two of the planes he flew in the war.

You can do 2 planes for one pilot. someone else is doing that too

One entrant here posted a link to Pete's Pilots. I was just looking through his stock and noticed some of his pilots come already painted. Please don't used them for our GB. I know some of you have mentioned you aren't that good at painting figures. Well, I'm not very good either. It's all I can do to get a fair paint job on these little guys.

Thanks

Thanks everyone. I think our group build will be lots of fun

RC pilots are usually made of that rubber/plastic stuff and look like action figures, however some of those busts on that site actually look pretty good.  Huh?
