Modern GB Feeler?

that sounds good I'll look in my stash count me in 

I could be interested.  I've been eyeing the Academy F-35 in my stash for a while now.

Hey Brandon,

Count me in....I'll let you know when the time get's closer. More than likely a MIG 29.

I'm really interested in a modern aircraft GB, but, I'm not going to commit until I have a few other GB completed. An end date of May 31, 2017 does give plenty of time to join later and complete. 

That does sound interesting.  I have several that I could choose from, just have to get the Luft '46 build completed (by that I mean started) first. 

Would suggest perhaps June 1, 2016 until Dec 31, 2017?  Adds time so that there would not have to be any sanctioned extensions.

I have plenty of modern jets to pick from.  Off the top of my head I might enter with a 1/48 F-16C painted as a 354th aggressor bird from Eielson AFB.

Steve, I would love to see and build a flying garbage truck, but I think the nature of this build needs to be turbine or jet powered AC and no piston driven stuff. A turboprop would just fit the bill however.

blkhwkmatt, I'm not certain of the time frame so one year is not in stone, a year and a half I think sounds resonable as we don't see as many peeps building jets here. More time would help that and many of those kits are larger and more complicated and need more time as well. 

I'd like to have more input from some more members before pushing ahead.

Sounds cool,sign me up for something....maybe a 1/72 Italeri F-22

Thanks BK, I didn't think so. I would probably stick with the tornado in Italian markings.

Count me in, maybe an rf-4e or something.

I was thinking with this build it might be worth noting that early jets would fit the bill. SO, if someone has a Me-262 or Gloster Gladiator, etc., it would be welcome. I think the only limit would be that it can't be piston powered. Heck, even a modern solar powered bird would fit.

So, any scale, military or civilian. Turbine, turbofan, turboprop, jet or solar, no piston engines. Any era provided it fits the "no piston" engines. It must be self propelled also, so gliders don't fit either.

I think what most of us would build would be modern jet fighters, but there is room for some other kits as well.

BK

Well that sounds very interesting. I have a bunch of Century Series jets in the stash.

Yes, I am in. I have an A-4 kit that needs to be built. And a Mirage III I want to try some things on.

I would propbaly jump in on this. I only have a couple of GB's to finish off, so i would not be over commiting. I have a 1/48th EF-111 i have to finish by the Xmas club meet in Dec, so would probably go with that.

Tentativly I'd be in, but have 2 GB's to finish and a 3rd coming up.  If I commit it would be with Tam's 1/32 F4D with resin office and suite of PE along with a decal set for 67-463

OK,Ok, I read the above post and said:

So, I called my ex-wife, and asked her if she wanted to get married again. She said "no way". Therefore, I know that hell did not freeze over. My only other guess is that the eight wonder of the world just happened, because Bish just entered a Modern jet GB, and with none other than a 1/48 scale plane!! 

Sorry, Bish, just took me by surprise when I saw your post!

BrandonK, I think this GB is a go!

Naw- just a double dip to add incentive to get the sparkvark done for the Christmas party...  

Ok it's a toss up between a hasegawa F-16 or a military gates lear jet but I have a few builds to finish 

Bruce,

Excellent reply to Bish's post...it's a true shocker that he is venturing into this build. They must be serving ice water in h-e-l-l.

I love the enthusiasum I am seeing here. I am in the same boat as many of you in that I have a few kits to knock out before I just whole hog into a jet or two. This makes me think that an 18 month time frame may not be too bad of an idea. It sounds like most us could use the extra time. Thoughts?

BK

BK; your outline and timeline seem fine, a year is good but a year an a half may be better for the "well hung" modern AC builders. I'm signing on with a yet-to-be named build. There are a lot of subject appropriate kits in the stash demanding attention.

I appreciate your willingness to host a long GB for a non WWII topic, and look forward to many great posts!

BrandonK,

I like the idea of 18 months. Also, I have a F-16B that I've started that is about 5-10% complete. I would like your blessing on if this would be an acceptable entry. I can send pictures of what is completed.

The longer time frame would work better since I really don't know how deep I'm getting with the PE on her.  The resin office is a ton of pieces and the PE has the radar suite if I want to do an open radome.  Going to have to look and see what else is out there for her in the way of corrections.

At this point I am pretty convinced that an 18 month build is more suitable. I also have more than one kit I would like to build and this time frame fits that desire quite nicely.

Looks like this will be a great GB.

I woundered if anyone would pick up on that

But don't worry, the world ain't coming to an end. I didn't actually, you know, BUY it. I picked it out in the Secret Santa last Dec, and we have to take them back the follwing Dec completed for the monthly club comp.
