R-2800 GB
Posted by rudy_102 on Sunday, December 31, 2006 11:16 PM

Welcome to the R-2800 GB!!!!!!

Anything goes, as long as there's a P&W R-2800 visible on it: A truck with the engine in tow will do!  If you'ld like, take an R-2800 and stick it on a Mustang or such (eddie millerWink [;)]).

Particpants:

Me (both 1/48): Tamiya F4U-1D and Hasegawa P-47D "French Air Force"

What?

Rudy, let me give you some constructive criticism to take to heart for '07.  In '06 you flooded GB after GB into the forums, one after the other.  Of those, how many are still active?  How many actually had (1) person finish a build? 

If you truly want to take advantage of all that GB's offer, then go for quality instead of quantity.  A GB focusing only on the R-2800 engine is a little esoteric. 

You are or were in the Young Guns GB, so I can assume you're fairly young.  Perhaps join some other GB's and learn from some of the old-timers who've been doing this for awhile.  Get a feel for what subjects will work and what won't.  Some GB's go well, and some don't.  Try feeler threads in the other forums to see if there is significant interest in the subject.  Ask around! 

This isn't meant to be a flame.  It's great to see the next generation stepping up to the plate and participating.  You have the motivation, now just work on the application of that motivation.

Good luck!
