You have several options with the C-123. Such great movie classics like Air America, or Operation Dumbo Drop, starring Danny Glover, Ray Liota, Dennis Leary and Doug E. Doug. Though the plane from Con Air would be a fitting tribute, considering the plane used in the movie crashed recently, killing all crew aboard.

John: cool stuff! I'd forgotten about the Screamin' Mimi- how could I forget a giant pink chopper????

 

Cliff , I have to admit the Screamin' Mimi is kinda unique and apart from some British Desert Storm aircraft/helicopters finished in Desert Pink , I can't think of any other type of bird in an over all pink color scheme . I may do her after all and hopfully either the C-123 or C-119 , I like the larger transport aircraft .

I love the idea of this GB but I probably can't join it. Too much on the plate already. A shame too because the badge is reason enough to join...

As far as the movie its from, I want to say "1941" or "The Rocketeer". Could be wrong though...

Put me down as participating, but subject TBA.  I have to sort out which idea to go with.

Mi-24 from "Red Dawn"?  ( which could be interesting, given it was some kind of European helicopter with added parts )

A MiG-21 converted into a fighter from "Wing Commander"?  ( painful movie, I know, but it would be good practice at kitbashing and scratchbuilding parts )

Someone mentioned Airwolf...

Maybe one of the ships from the "kitbash party" they had to get odd ships together for the background battle scenes in DS9...

I'll decide on something by Oscar night.

Andrew: heh, no worries. I do want to do the Whitestar, just afraid to lock myself down when I'm not sure where all the pieces are. Go ahead and put me down for her, as you said I can change it later if I can't find them.

I'm still looking for some suitable markings to go on my Con Air C-123 Provider

I have three more options ,

one is the S-58T "Screaming Mimi " from the Riptide TV show ;

Masking and painting that big toothy grin could be challenging !!!

Another is the C-119 Flying Boxcar from the 1994 Flight of the Pheonix movie

I could probably make the nose and tail logo on the C-119 from some solid blue and white decal sheets .

There is also the option of a SH-3H Seaking from the movie "The Final Countdown "

I'll have to watch the movie again to see what markings are on the Seaking and hopfully be able to find some that would be suitable .

Anyway there is still plenty of time before this GB kicks off , so hopfully I can get at least one of my choices organized .

Oh what the Censored put me down with the Whitestar then. I'm not even sure where all the parts are but I should be able to find them in three months. The kit is from Warp models in the UK, no clue what scale but she's a little less than a foot/30cm long.

Sorry, no idea what movie but explosions are pretty much cool by definition Cool

Ok will add no drama. As for the Whitestar that is a drama I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! Ok tanty over LOL

I may add a non animated file for the badge but I thought it was a Gollywood GB, it had to be a movie.

 

Can anyone guess the movie its from?

Andrew- love the badge!

Please put me down. I'm leaning for the Babylon 5 Whitestar but still not totally decided.

Well due to popular demand the Hollywood GB will be going ahead, auditions are now on.

Rules

Start Date : 27th Feb 2011 (Oscar night, thanks for the idea kenjitak)

End Date : Oscar night 2012 (date yet to be confirmed)

This group build is open to any model of something that has been in Movie, Television or Animation, the catch is the build must be marked/painted/decaled as it occured in the movie or show.

eg Top Gun An F-5 could be done as long as it used the black with markings for the MiG-28.

Battle of Britain using Ha-1112 instead of real 109's

Battle of the Buldge  M-47's as Tigers and M-24s as Shermans

Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon Kits, Airwolf for Television

Gundam, Figures Kits for anime

Its a big world with so many choices...

Crossovers Allowed.

All ready started kits are fine at no more than 50% complete
