Plane Build

Posted by Awasoda on Monday, May 31, 2004 7:29 PM

How about when soem of these group builds die down, (mid june?) we chalenge the fly boys to a build where we do an air plane model and they have to do an armor model. The only hting is that they ahve to use their forum for advice on armor and we have to use ours on advice for air craft. I am sure we could ocme up with a creative name for it all. What do you say?

Just thought it would be cool.

IF you can't beat them then they are not tied down properly

Thundergod, if you dont believe you can dirty/beat up an airplane you should check out swanny's build http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21194

Hmmm, interesting. But I'll bet there are more "armor" modelers who do or have done planes than aircraft modelers who do tanks. (Also, my personal opinion, but I think most (certainly not all) armor models are easier than planes. That center fuselage seam always gets me!

I tend to agree. I built a 1/48 P47 about a month ago. The kit only had about 2 dozen pieces and I must have pulled more hair out trying to build that thing and get the paint and decals on right (no covering mistakes up with mud here)

Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

Seeing how I have a grand total of one AC kit on the shelf, this could be a cool thing to do so I can have an excuse to build it. The one I have sounds like the P47 above. About 10 pieces to the whole thing, but I'm sure there is a catch to it.

By the way, I have to object, Armor is just as hard, Seam lines in barrels, all those road wheels on tigers but for one thing, they sure are alot cooler!

Which P-47 you have Chris? I have the Hasegawa kit. I think it has about 70 pieces. The thing that scares me off of planes is the masking and the greenhouse. You know how many panes are on some of those Japanese planes?

My first thought was that Joe belongs to us now, so he would have to build a plane, but then I thought the last thing we need is him having a wingy thing relapse, so perhaps you better build a tank Joe!

Me, I'd love to build a North African Storch in 1/32.

Just a few questions....If we agree to build a plane, does it have to be done only on sunny days, when there's no fog or rain, the wind isn't too high, and it's not too cold?
Do we need a cobuilder?
Or a ground crew that will wash the model and lay out all the parts, so I can walk over to the bench and just build a little (weather permitting). Wink [;)]

I have a 1/32nd scale F/A-18 C Hornet that I have only just started, I guess I could hold that for a while.
