I seem to be living in the future.....It is actually March and not April LOL

It starts now and will run till end of june.

We are going into a country wide lockdown in 6 hours for 3 weeks.....it will be the first time since the 80's and 90's that we will have military APC's in the streets to support the police....last time this happened I was in an armoured ambulance, my how time flies...

Theuns

Great idea bud! I'm not saying I'm in because I'm an essential worker and pretty busy but that's a great idea. 

As I stated before, I'm essential staff, but I'm in!  

I will start with a small, simple kit and add another, should my employment status change!

Kit Number one will be Eduard's Bell X-1 in 1/48th scale!

Can I get in on this? 

Great Idea. I'm working on my T-38 for my Trainer GB, but I just pulled out my AMT

TOS Star Trek Galileo shuttlecraft.

I'll be building it out of the box so hopefully it will go fast.

Thanks

Mark

Im in, I'll have a couple of 1/144th scale P-51's and or Spitfires to throw at this group.

If I get that done, I might toss in a 1/48 AH-64D that I have been eyeing for about three months now.

<Matt

Great, poster updated.

We are now in lockdown, it is early quiet, I have not heard one car, no planes flying, no police or army in the streets yet....almost like the start of every zombe movie I ever saw....I wonder ;-)

A Mate of mine was a mechanic on the Allo III in the South African Air Force and asked me do build hin a model of it. I will be dong is as a gunship with the 20mm MG 151 out the left door.

It will be a very simple build .the gun will have to be scratchbuilt but in 1/72 it should be ne problem.

I am rather interested to see thos littl 1/144 Spitties, they must be really small!

Theuns

I haven't been on here in awhile and while my job is considered essential so I'm still working, I would like to join. I'm not sure with what yet. I have a Tamiya P-47 thats in it's early stages I could do.

welcome :-)

Yeah, what the heck.

I'm starting a VTOL, STOL, STOVL GB on Apr 1st so I'll "jump" in with a Kitty Hawk 1/48 F-35B. Never built a Kitty Hawk kit so this ought to be intresting.

Me too with anOV-10 Bronco by testors in 1/48.

I got this far yesterday. Kit goes together really well, which is cool as i got it for 75% off at the local Lobby. I like the scheme on the box, the decals, not so much. Gonna try to paint it on, wish me luck

So far so good 

Roster updated.

Steve I wanted to join your GB but cant wait till April to start, my fingers are itching to bash some plastic again so will start the Allo tonight.

Theuns

Great, we have planes, helos, space and now a "ground target" aswell ;-)

Theuns

A quick coat of primer on everything:

And a few sink holes filled:

I'd like to join if there's room.  Gives me an excuse to tackle a Hasagawa 1/72 B-24D I've had on my shelf for a looooooong time.

There is always room for a caracter from the greatest animated series ever ;-)

I got your Liberator up.

Theuns

Got the checkerboard, and color portions of the cowl complete. Feelin pretty good about it. Funny, though, when I trimmed the decals from the sheet, the clear film peeled up from the backing paper without any water! Glad I went this route...

Thats a nice Jug!

The Galileo has some paint on the interior and the nacelles are together. all if 2 pieces.

The Sprue attachment points on the upper hull are messy. The engineering on this kit is bad! I had to repair them. both sides.

This will be my entry.

The SAAF used the Allo 3 mainly for troop transport , medivac and sometimes mounted a 20mm MG 151 cannon to it as a gunship.

I will be doing a gunship one for my mate's build.

I have built this kit before and it is really not a nice build, loads of fit issues and the glasing takes allot of work to get into place, hoping this one will go better.

Theuns

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

Cool the list is growing. Ant sugestions for a badge? I was thinking of something like a model of sorts behind bars or similar??

Here is what I will be building:

Eduardo 1/48th Bell X1 profipack, and I am also going to add in a special, current events appropriate resin Plague Doctor figure in resin I picked up from etsy.  I didn't expect to see this any time soon, as it was coming to me here in the states from the Ukraine.....

How about a scene featuring a plague Doctor? Lol

Can I get on this action? This is what I'll be building!
