It is an honor to be part of "the Family" Godfather.  I respectfully ask your blessing in joining this GB.

Thanks Stik for hosting the GB!  You rock!

Bobby

As I said in the other thread, I'm in.

Stick, put me down with this one. I built this kit back in the 70's and wanted to give it another go. I'll see what else I can pick up at Eagle Quest this Saturday.

Don Carlos,

My first pick.

Put me down for the 1/48 B-29. I want to do the 1/48 sabre dog, but I am unsure of its original orgins. If that is a no-go then I will go with the 1/48 F-102.

Ok fellas, the roster has been updated.

B_one, the Sabre Dog is eligible. I have you down with that and the B-29.

I'm in with a 1/48 P-47N.

For a second, my son also asked me to help with his 1/48 B-24J.

If that doesn't count, I'll do Nowotny's Me-262.

I'd like to join the Famiglia with:

Vandal and Rommel's Rod

or

Garbage Truck and Beer Wagon

I'm in!  Let me think over my choices for a while, lol.  I can never decide, must be a women thing.

I'm in, Don Carlos, if these two are still acceptable.

I'm in of course!  

P-47 bubbletop

Fw190A. 

P-51D blue nose

 And a Jet TBD

Ok guys, and gal, the roster of aspiring family members is updated, along with kit choices for those who have selected. Lots of good ones there so far.

Now I have a request. I need somebody to be a good consigliari here. From mid October thru mid November I will be going on a long overdue real actual vacation and off the net for days if not weeks. I need somebody to cover in my absence during that time period. Any volunteers?

Ok Don Stik & Fellas.  Here are my entries.  Not sure which Jet I will pick. Depends on  Time of course. F-8 would be easiest for sure. need an F-8 in my collection   Family... 

Right now I am thinking the P-51 will be George Preddy's last mount.

P-47 will be 367th FG

Fw-190... who knows.. Might just do one of the box schemes!

F-8 , if chosen, will be a USMC job.. Probably VMF(AW) 312 or 122 or 

F-14A Option would be Hi-vis bird most likely. VF-143 is what I am thinking...

not much in the way of external differences mostly internal with avionics and such. I don't know what the technical term for them is but those little stabilizer looking things sticking up on top of the wing extensions may not have been on the F-18A not sure though

Stik-I have a question regarding the AMTech & AMT/Ertil P-40 'family'-I have the AMTech P-40E, Amt/Ertil P-40 F/L & N in the stash-all 1/48-do any of those meet the criteria?

I checked on Scalemates but I'm not sure that they do.

Thanks

Regarding the C to A differences on the F/A-18, as said, most are internal. The "fences" in front of the vertical stabilizers were added to both the C and A Hornets, so are not indicative of one version or the other. They came along early in the A operational period and were on the C from the beginning. The only certain external differnce between the two that I know of are two ECM bumps on the fuselage spine behind the cockpit present on the C but not the A.

About the AMT 1/48 P-40 family, yes they qualify, those are of US origin by AMT. As well as their A-20, and F7F kits in 1/48. In 1/72 their B-70, B-52, C-135, and Flying Wings are also good to go off the top of my head.

And for anybody so inclined, the MPC Star Wars and Star Trek kits picked up by AMT when they merged are fair game as well.

Thanks Stik-once I figure out which two I want to build, I'll humbly request to join the GB.

Thanks

Count me in. Revell SBD for one, TBD for a second. Possibly Revell P-40B

Mississippivol has graciously stepped forward to fill the consigliari spot on this GB. Many thanks to him in advance.

As for the rest of you's, I'll get the roster updated momentarily.

Would the new Revell Stearman Aerobatic Biplane be eligible?  Genuine Revell but I doubt it was molded in the US. If it's ok it will be my 2nd selection.

Yes that kit is eligible. I know how the current state of model production is. In the end, it is an original Revell USA product.

silentbob, you're welcome on the Hornet info.
