Twin Engine Fighters GB

bspeed - Don't sign me up yet, but I had a thought. Do the "twin" engines have to be identical twins? Since you show "Prop/Jet", how about one of each ?  It has happened, at least once.

Started the Tigercat today.  Gonna try something different and fold the wings on this one.  Aoshima provided a trough where the wings separated from the wingtips so I took out the trusty Xacto and presto a three piece wing.  Not going to do anything fancy, just a block off plate and some stubs to act as supports.  Here's a link to the pics

Ah, appreciate that, nice that you are going to set a challenge for yourself

bspeed the Kit is actually the P-38J and im converting it to The Recon version of the P-38/ F-5E

Hey Everyone,

Count me in, I'm just about finished with my 1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair (Gigatron's F4U Corsair GB).  I'm looking for another GB to join.

I have a 1/48 Revell P-38J that I'm going to try to tame.  Judging from previous posts on this kit, my work is cut out for me.

Looking forward to building with all of you

Got my kit without having to go to the land of evilbay. Got it from a LHS that buys collections.  Decals are shot and no glass, it did have the original tube of glue though.  It is the Aoshima 1/72 Tigercat in all its raised panel glory.

Can I join this one with the Academy F-5E

Well it was intended for props, but honestly, I think its more important to have fun and join a GB :)

You can count me in to. But i won't be able to start until next year when i get back from Afghanistan and once my 251 is finished for that GB. I would say at a guess late March if that ok. Would a nightfighter Ju-88 count, or does it have to have be designed as a fighter. If so, also have a 1/72 He219A-0.

you all keep your noggin' down and be carefull

well, i am in for sure, just have to dwell a bit on what to build... Im not experienced enough to tackle the revell P61 but maybe i can learn from the masters in here... anyways, add me and i will decide down the road if that is ok, I wont be able to start till the new year in either case :) cheers

Sometimes, I purposely look for the simpler kits, old Monogram, whatnot, just to make the building easier. no one sees my models, save for what pics I might post! I am relativly inexperienced my self.

no problem on Crossovers!  I often wondered about that in other builds.

My Son is working on Drawing a Badge. It will then be Photographed/scanned, etc.

If he will send me the Original Artwork, I will see about making Scans and printing them to Mail out, for display in your Airplane Factory (workshop) !
