Odd Animals GB feeler

I have a hit for a Airacobra in the other thread and I'm good for a Warthog or Black Widow in 1/48 scale. (cant decide between them yet!)

Any other takers?

maybe a warthog or something will think and get back to you how about a duck .

A duck? Is this an aircraft named so? If it is, it wouldn't qualify because ducks and aircraft both fly....

can I put you down as a maybe?

Hi Owl, I may be in with a 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar GR1A from ESCI...but it will all bank on when you want to start and when you want to finish and how much work I get done on other projects I've got running. So I guess I'm tentative for now.

ive got you down, oddman. The build is scheduled to begin May 1st and run for a year.

I got two animals but they arent mismatched

what animals do you have?

Yup, grumman produced a duck a goose a gossling and a widgeon. All flying boats. i think theres another one. not sure though.

Wouldnt mind seeing a beaver in this gb though.

a flying beaver....excellent!   lol

A beaver

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and wont suggest your mind was in the gutter.

wait, what? I was talking about a large amphibious rodent that suddenly sprouted little wings, swooping around a creek. What are you talking about? 

Im sure you were. Like i said, befit of the doubt.

Owl,, I'm in. Not sure with what yet... and  DUKW is an amphibiuous transport vehicle from WW2 vintage,,,no comment on beavers!

Looking at my shelf I got 2 Bike Kits that would fit.

Both are Honda "Steed's" a 400cc and a Springer Fork Steed VLS, btw you 'mericans call those the "Honda Shadow".

Need to get back into building mode as I also got a Ninja that needs to be done for the Hollywood GB.

I don't know much about bikes, I'm an airplane girl to be honest, but I'm curious as to what the names of those bikes are? Are they named after a flying or swimming creature?

The Honda Steed/Shadow is a chopper or also often referred to as a Steel-Horse.

Like they do in some Bon Jovi songs " A Steel Horse I ride", etc.

The Honda Steed name is a bit tongue in check, Old Honda Motto was " If you ain't got wings you can't fly".

Refering to the wing emblem on the tanks of their Motorbikes, so Wings + Steed(Horse) = Pegasus = Flying Horse.

HTH.

As I stated on the other thread, i'm in for a maybe. I've got an A-10 that I can do for it. Just gotta find the decals that I want for it. Maybe starting a little late but if it's for a year i'm for sure in.

alrighty, medicman. Im planning on doing a hog too. Are you doing one of the a10s in the pictures? I'm lovin that hog head on the nose!

I dunno, mad-modeler, it seems like a bit of a stretch.  Hmmmmmm....a Pegasus would fit......

BTW, got to ask is a "Warthog" a swimming or flying creature?

what? no. its a wild pig from Africa

OWL, i'm not sure as far as markings go. I'm for sure going to do one of the ones with the nose art. Gotta look around closer to the time I start to see if I can find some good decals.

Here's a real warthog

its Pumba! :)

Thx, Guys.

i do know what a warthog looks like as I hunted those.

Still waiting for an answer if a  Steed Kit would apply for this GB or not.

....Im gonna have to say no. A motorcycle is a land vehicle and yours is named after a land animal (Steed). If it was officially called Pegasus or named after a non-land animal I would allow it.

Ok, no problem.

OWl, I picked my entry- have aTamiya 1/48 Brewster Buffalo I would like to build. In Marine Corps livery ,,,naturally!

Thanks

Kevin

excelent tonka! Ive got you down

Alright everybody, Ive posted the official GB thread in the Group Builds sub-forum. Please head over and post to verify your participation and kits. If there is ??? next to your name, that means I am missing some info. If you could supply that bit of information that would be super!
