BrandonK Bish, Glad you like the badge. I think it is one of the coolest planes ever built. Saw one in action when I was in the AF many moons ago. Super cool. BK

I can agree with you there. Unfortunatly, i have never been lucky enough to see one fly, only on the ground. But thats impressive enough.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Gamera, nice to hear you have some forward momentum. I am soooo itching to get going on this. I gotta clear the bench some first though.

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
I put together most of the cockpit for the Kinetic 1/48th F-16B last night.
Pros:
1). The box is stuffed full of sprues- there's enough ordinance to equip a whole squadron of fighters.
2). Detail seems well done on all parts.
3). Parts to build either the one-seat F-16A or the dual-seat F-16B.
Cons:
1). Instructions are provided for the earlier kit of the one-seater. There's a couple of errata sheets for this kit. There are no instructions provided for the dual-seater cockpit. I found some instructions in another Kinetic F-16 kit that I used. Seems like they could have put in one sheet though for the cockpit.
2). Some big injection pins on parts to sand off.

Here's a bit of SR-71 Blackbird trivia.
When Pres Johnson announced the Blackbird to the world, he mistakenly called it the SR-71. before that the correct title was the RS-71

Thanks Brandon. This looks to be a really great Group Build
Whoops, forgot to mention yes that is a very cool badge.
Love those entries guys, please keep the awesome coming!

BrandonK GT, gotcha down, and welcome. I think we are all looking forward to this one. I have a Testors 1/48 Sr-71 Blackbird in the stash, but I can't find the ambition to get going on it. BK

B randon, I just went to wal mart and they had my Blackbird. It has the surveillance drone too. Pencil me in for that too
Yea, I went to walmart at Midnight
Thanks for the heads up on the He 162 Bish. This does look like a good GB, there's plenty of interesting builds.
My 162 is going to get post war French markings, so it should look a little different. Berna decals have it on one of their sheets.
Cheers

Brandon. Pencil me in for a Revell 1/72 SR-71 Blackbird. I've wanted to do that for quite a while now
Thanks I usually don't go in for the modern jets, but there are a few I like.
Great choice for the badge
Well here is my entry, will get started this weekend. I might convert it to an "A' to use these decals or I may find a sheet for a B or D variant in my decal pile.

Here is the badge:
NICE.
I hear that. Started scraping the details off of the pit parts that get the Eduard PE last night before washing and painting.
Bk, looks awesome there!
Same here with me, I thought I'd put mine off till I get some other stuff done but I might not be able to resist and do a little work this weekend.

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

ALright Gentlemen. It's time to get the party started. I'll begin with this kit here:
It has 15 seperate, large parts trees and I believe over 200 parts. This should be a great one. It will be a few weeks before I pull the trigger, but I may get antzy and start sooner.
Ok, cool Matt. This sounds like an interesting kit. Looking forward to seeing it come together.
BrandonK Thuens, got you down. Matt, got you down as well. What company is your kit produced by? BK
Thuens, got you down.

BK - it is the old DML Air Superiority Series Kit. Got it off of Ebay a while back. Will have to look elsewhere for the decals as they have yellowed horribly and look to be unusable. I think that in total there might be 35 pieces to the entire kit and no surface details. Might look into scribing some of the panels on this one.

Nice choice for a badge. If you have never seen one take off, you have missed one of the prettier sights in aircraft life, especially at night...... After looking at the Verlinden office I think I'll stay with the kit one and just use the Eduard PE, but may use some of the rest of the cockpit PE from Verlinden.
Put me down for an taleri 1/48 F-22 please.
I"m in for this one. I will build a 1/72 YF-23 to start. Shouldn't be too dificult of a kit to build as I am also building a Do-335 with a ton of AM thrown in.
Ok, Steve, I have you updated. Keep reminding me about the meeting, I may actually try to make it.
Speaking of the meeting in Boise, when is the next one Steve, and where are they held again?
On the Bench: Lots of unfinished projects!
