Here's a pic of mine. I'll start as soon as I get the paint together.

Oh goodness, or Oy Vay!

I've got quite a few, mostly aircraft.

Vautour probably my first choice,

I'd like to join up with Ezer Weizman's Black 57 Spitfire. Scale will be 1/72, don't know which kit yet.

Cool, seems we are off to a good start here :-)

Nice work sofar on that Merkava Greysnake, I have also looked at a few of the Tamiya 1/35 armour kits and might get one in the future, armour is not really my thng, I just want to try a few new weathering stuff I saw.

My build moejoe for this year has also been as low as can be but I made a start on my academy Maghac and sofar it is progressing well. I have assembled the road and drive wheels to see the track fit.

It seems the tracks are a few mm to short enev with the reat drive wheel axle moved as far forward as it can go...will have to think about this one for a bit.

The turret has the up armoured plates installed on the one side sofar, I had to wrangle it into place but I am sure it must be something I did wrong somewhere.

I had a look at some of the weathering powders and washes that one can buy but here in SA they are very expensive so I will play with oil paints and chalk pastels for now.

Academy's Merkava is also a very tempting subject, I may lool at getting one next year to compliment the one I am doing now.

Gues here in SA we sometimes have breaks in the internet so if I am offlin for a few days please continue, I will be back ;-)

I am also in with Tamiya's Merkava in 1/35. Bought it a while ago, just waited for an excuse to open it as my motivation for building has been in a doldrums lately.

Hi Theuns,

I have a 1/72 AH-1S cobra that I can come in with thank you. 

No problem! :) Also, my model is the Monogram 1/35 M48A2 Patton Tank. 

Thanx for the feedback sofar guys, I like it.

Just a heads up, I am in South Africa, about 8 hour or so ahead of US eastern seabord so my responces might seem to be late to you guys, its 20h23 here now ;-)

Theuns

Here are some GB badge options: 

Some images from the internet plus some editing and...

The GB dates aren’t too clearly visible on the last one; if you like that one and want me to redo it, just please let me know.  :)

I'd be interested, either a 1/48 ESCI Kfir,  or a 1/48 Italeri F-16B

My build will be the Tamiya 1/35 Merkava. 

Theuns: I can make one or a few for you and submit them, if you’d like. I can try to work with that, modelcrazy. 

Maybe something with this?

Or too much?

OK great, I have the front page build roster up and running , for the guys not stating a model yet please let me know what you will be building.

This is then basically open now so get cracking.

I am open to sugestions for a group badge, if you have one post so we can see please.

Theuns

Sure, I have a 1/72 Hase F-16 Sufa I'd like to get into.

I’ve got a kit that I could enter!   

Sounds like an interesting idea!

I’m interested. 

Hi Theuns;

Yes I would participate, but unfortunately not until after first of the year. Benchtime has been at a premium since Fall, and the rest of the year looks about the same. Best of luck getting your GB off the ground; there are plenty of unique and interesting subjects.
