Desert Storm Groupbuild?

Seems to me like you just volunteered!

There was one a couple of years ago. It had good participation.

I was afraid of that!  

I'll build something for it.

I am amazed while going through my stash inventory, I think I only have a single kit that is set for a Desert Storm configuration, Takom's M9 ACE.  Lots of kits with Afghanistan and Iraqi Freedom though!  You can tell when I started stockpiling.

Not sure if out of the box is  a '91 version or a '03 version, or if the vehicle was ever upgraded in the interim!  Quick research makes it seem that the first overhaul didn't happen until 2006 though.  

If we can get a couple more takers, I guess I can start the thread for the GB, starting in January of course.

I'll participate in one.  I belong to a Facebook modelling group who are going to be doing a Desert Storm group build starting in January, so I'll just enter both group builds with the same kit (Academy M60-A1 RISE, in USMC markings).

I have a M1A1 in the stash that might work.

I would build for it.  Is it only armor or aircraft are ok too?

I'd build for it too, but all of my ODS aircraft have quite a bit of progress on them already so I'm not sure what I have would qualify.  Most of my unbuilt stockpile is from the 80s, so its all definitely chronologically accurate for the time period.

I would say anything that was used in ODS would be fine, be it armor, aircraft, ships, or figures.  Markings would necessarily be related to the operation as well though.

Well I’m in then. I would love to do a CH-53D, CH-53E, and an OV-10. I’ve never done a group build. How does it work?

Dan

I might be able to take part, depends on the time frame. I do have an Airfix Nimrod but am planning on picking up an M109A2 which i might enter.

But may i suggest you call it the Gulf War GB rather than ODS, unless of course your just limiting it to US subjects.

This is a good suggestion, it would be open to subjects from any of the coalition forces or the Iraqi military.

hope this helps

Look forward to seeing that GS, thats the kit i built for the last one. Nice kit.

Well this sounds great. Please put me down for a 1/48th scale USMC CH-53D in desert colors. If we can do more than one kit I have also been wanting to build a USMC OV-10D Bronco in desert colors. The 1/32 scale kit that is out.

Seems that there is sufficient interest, I will create an official thread for the build in the near future!
