The Official F-4 Phantom II Group Build 2010

The Official Phantom II Group Build 2010

It's start date!

Recapping the particulars:

Start: January 1st 2010, end June 30th 2010, with overrun if needed.

All variants, all users, all markings, all services. All kits, all scales, OOB and AM equally welcome. Started kits -- 10% done or so is fine. Crossovers with other builds also fine.

As I said a fortnight ago: "I'll be launching the proper thread on the GB forum at New Year, ready for a January 1st launch, so we can have our kits, tools, supplies and markings on the catapults and ready to go as the holiday season winds down toward the resumption of business, then a long supersonic cruise to midyear."

It's January 1st, so gentlemen start your turbines! You're clear to break shrinkwrap and cut sprue! Let's buuld some planes to be proud of!

Cheers, Mike/TB379

Update -- as of Feb. 26th on this side of the dateline, we have 33 participants. No builds completed yet but some getting closer -- badges are in the works so they'll be ready when the first planes are rolled out to the squadron line.
