Yep, it would be for anything sub related from the civil war to modern including sub hunting helos.

It won't start until late next year.  Probably August or September. 

 

i have a couple of resin HUNLEYs in the stash, OTS and 1/32 w/ interior.

Steve,

You can count me in for at least the Trumpeter 1/144 Gato and hopefully the 1/72 Revell Gato. Heck, if I get really insane I might build the Trumpeter 1/350 USS England for the hunter part. Although it was completed a couple of years ago, here's a Revell 1/72 VIIC I built.

Docidle,
Great looking sub that. I will probably be building the same,
The build won't start has a while yet, but I will put you down for sure.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Oh boy do I have a surprise for you guys. Cody J has completed the badges for the build, and as usual there will be a few to choose from.
I will be writing an official GB post with rules and possible co-host on July 1st to get ready for Aug 1st.
Here they are, enjoy.
 
The text on #1 may change.

Nice badges......Thought about changing my proposed 1/144 build to the 1/72 Gato, but will stay with Wahoo in the surface gunfight on 27 January 1943.

 

Will do the 1/72 after, and may fit in if time in the GB.  Straycat sold me one out of his stash.  THANKS!!!!  Yah, she is a monster at 4'4".  Probably going to have to use the booth at work (body shop) to paint her.  Only thing I need for her are the alum. 'scopes that turn up every once in awhile, and a raft of 20mm's from Nautilis.

Great badges. Now i just have to choose which of the 2 last ones i will use. I will be sticking with the 125th Revell Type VII and get some practice painting and weathering a Sub.

I think I build that one years ago. I had to save to get it I was so broke at the time. Nice kit if I remember.

Ye, i have built it before, but that one didn't survive. So as well as being a practice piece before i get to grips with the 72nd kits, it will be nice to have this again, if for no other reason than its the U-99.

Mom's parents might claim it (German/Austrian) but Dad's wouldn't (English/Welsh)

Thought the tower looked like a U-Boat with the wrap around on the front, and not enough around the 'scope shears.

Would be good to see a World War II American submarine on the GB Badges.....afterall, the Silent Service did much to win the war in the Pacific after the battleships were destroyed at Pearl Harbor.  But of course, I'm biased: my grandfather was an American submariner during WWII.......just saying......

 

 

2022 New Year's Resolution:  Enter 1 group build and COMPLETE a build this year!!  Why Photobucket did you rob me of my one Group Build Badge???  Must be part of the strong anti-Monogram cartel!!!
