Good man, Summit. Get those stragglers in order fella. And seeing as your slacking, your specific homework is to find a period picture of your chosen build, Preferably in colour. Get to it soldier. ...Guy

Hmmph - Quoted from pg 1

"The rules. Better do some i spose. Not big on rules, Me.

Must be Italian from WW2...Ta daa, there you go. Oh ive got to have more?

You must post regularly, if you can.

You must persuade as many others who've not signed up to join. Preferably through violence."

Did that -threatend Dave with Candy Canes and he signed up

didnt see anyting about homework - I will head for detention and think about the lesson I leson I havent learned 

Good man, Summit. Get those stragglers in order fella. And seeing as your slacking, your specific homework is to find a period picture of your chosen build, Preferably in colour. Get to it soldier.

...Guy

Aaron - you are a Wildman

Summit is present for Roll Call - Currently in the process of completing a few scraglers from '08. Plan on starting on mine after the weekend.

Geez Aaron, thats your work cut out for the year. Your a crazy man. You say you need some elfs....I need some good elf, Cough cough.

...Guy

Yea I did. And another 1/32 Hasegawa G-6 with some goodies just to round things out. So far I have got the 109 B  and E-3 an E-4 an F-4 A, G-10  and 2 Monogram G-10's in 1/48 then I had earlier got a  G-10 NightJager and the K-4 in 1/32. Lots of resin and PE to play with.

 The Italian stuff is that 2005 and 202 in 1/32. I already had the 1/48 202 and SM-79 by Hasegawa and Trumpeter.  So yeah I think I am good now for the GB's

 Bad Bad Bad!  I need some Elfs!

Excellent work Aaron. You cant help yourself can you LOL. Not complaining though. Happy New year, one and all. Ive started 2009 with a stinker of a cold.

...Guy

Ok then there are a couple more.... Hey it's a new year right?

 There is this

and then there is this.....

and you are all egging me on! Bad Bad men!

Happy New YEar All!

 You all are some bad people!!!!!! Look what you made me order today!?!

PM received Guy. I shall package them up and send them off on Friday. At you build speed you will probally be ready for the decals in a week! Enjoy!

Oh soo funny. Ill have at least 2 done my friend. LOL.

...Guy

I think you should spoil yourself and buy a Hasagawa or Tamiya kit. They rule and i could build them all day. As for the start time. if its the 1st where you are then get posting big boy.

...Guy

You know Guy I think that is plausible. May have to go 1/48 as I see no 1/32 G's  around to buy at the moment. I have some pics and refs of them so I think that is a cool idea. Let me find a suitable kit and I'm on it. In the mean time I shall not delay in my progress pics! Are we starting on Greenwich time? Or local?

I feel the love!!  Need to borrow your fairies!

1/32 109 Aaron, Now i seem to recall you wanting to do one of those, mmmmm and in Italian markings LOL. Do it big boy, Do it. Or ill send Wingus and Dingus to whoop ya upside da head. (So street, me)

SC, PM sent.

Remember all, the deadline is rapidly approaching. Here in the Uk anyhow. If its the 1st where you are, im expecting pictures.

Know what I think Aaron should get now?  How about a 109 in RA markings?

Here Here! I second that motion! But make him use the Acadamy or Fujimi kit just for fun! Heck I'll even donate the Decals that I have and do not plan on using! I just can seem to bring myself to build a 109 without the German markings. It just ai'nt right!

Shooter great to have you abord a great choice! The Cr 32 and 42 models ussally have a much simpler camo pattern than some of the monoplane fighters.

Guy here ya go pal I scanned all of the sheets. The are not very clear I hope you can see them well enough to find something that floats your boat. I have only used one of the options shown so you have all of the other to pic from. You would have to use the kit decals for the National markings and the House of Savoy cross on the tail as the sheet only provided enough for one kit but the sheet is still full of squadron and squadron emblems alot of them as you can see. The only modification you should have to do to the kit is install the correct exhaust. They should just be two short fat pipes exiting the cowl at the 5 and 7 o'clock position of the cowl. The kit parts were pretty crappy so I scratch build the ones on my kit from hollow brass tube.

If you see anything you like just PM me with your addy and I shall send them your way with all due hast!

Excellent Shooter. Your added to the front page, my friend.

...Guy

Good man Shooter. Is it the Classic Airframes one that youve found?

...Guy

EDIT. You could always do the 'Sniffer Dog' version. You can just see the chappie saying 'Good boy, go on you can find em'

CR32, huh? I saw the plane when I was digging around a few nights ago but I wasn't aware that it was used in WWII.

Now where could I get one of these. Neat looking plane. Kind of reminds me of a Avia B-534 IV serie. Must go searching.

Guy if you are interested I have decals for 4 other nightfighter options for the Cr42 on the Skymodel sheet. I will post pics for you if you see anything you like thier your buddy. Really looking forward to starting this GB. Great idea!                                                                              Soulcrusher

Id love to see the decals Crusher. Im prefering a day fighter. That kit i found was the only one i could find and its German and a nightfighter. So hopefully its an easy conversion to day fighter and with the decals. Wooooeeee.

I actually have at least 6 or 7 kits that qualify for this but I'm scared of the paint schemes.

Come on join the fun AaronW, as for the paint schemes, they can seem a little daunting but id say, go for the decal sheet and do a smoke ring camo. Really impressive stuff from what ive seen and just blag everyone and tell em its freehand. So, come on, what you building

Shooter, Crusher had exactly the same idea as me, go for the CR. 32. It looks way to cool for school and noone is doing one.

Aaron, If im doing 2 for this build, then you have to. As we couldnt find Franks picture for his homework, our next mission is to badger the Aaronster in to buying another Italian kit (Or 2) LOL.

Frank, P recieved.

Wheres Aaron when you need him. I need a corner man and hes sposed to be my GB deputy. Doh. ...Guy EDIT. Hannants arnt open today, but heres the sucker im going to get. May need those decals though, Crusher https://www.hannants.co.uk/search?FULL=CF496

Must resist! No more buy buy! Quit tempting me Guy! Oh heck!  Didn't Frank and you get me good enough on the 109's?  ACK!

If you really want to go a bit off the beaten path but not go to crazy with a huge kit the 1/48 Classic Airframes Cr 32 kit is pretty nice as long as you do'nt mind the frustrations of stacking and rigging wings. I have one stashed away and it is a nicely done kit. Still a short run kit but great resin engine and details.

Guy if you are interested I have decals for 4 other nightfighter options for the Cr42 on the Skymodel sheet. I will post pics for you if you see anything you like thier your buddy. Really looking forward to starting this GB. Great idea!
