The LeO!! ... Helo has lots on the go... I have another kit that I'd like to build for this one.... I think we need to extend this one folks, we may even pick up a modeler or two along the way.
Let's try for April 25th, first flight of the Potez 630!
WOW ! This is great news Vance .
I have a terrible track record for when it comes to finishing builds for Group Builds ; Except for the Korean War GB , the rest of the time I hardly finish my builds . I always end up researching the topic or time period and then go scrounging around my kit stash and start re-organizing kits accordingly .
Like last week for example , I wanted to find out more about the aircraft the french were using in Indochina as a lot of my previous research on the French /Algerian war seem to lead me to pic's of french aircraft in use in Indochina . So I saw this book over at amazon.com and found a seller who do international orders and bought it ;
The first ten pages are about the French operations leading up to 1955 , with some great aircraft photos .
My local on-line hobby store had this Italeri kit in stock ,
I ordered it this afternoon .
And Kingkit in the UK had some P-63C Kingcobra's and Heller Fieseler Fi-156 Storch/MS 500 kits , so I ordered those as well .
I'm planning on continuing my French aircaft and helo builds for the rest of 2013 along with some RAF Gulf War builds and finish off some stalled Korean War stuff .
S there's lot's to do and I was getting a little nervous about my French H-34 builds being behind schedule but the time extension is great and of course there will be no slackin' off on the H-34's , I need to post some substantial WIP pic's on them before too long . Although while looking through my stash today and organizing some kits for the war in Indochina ......
......I did come across a few Mil Mi-8/17 kits which have what look to be the perfect size weapons bracing pieces to suit my French Army H-34 Gunship rocket pods , so I'm quite happy about finding something I can use .
Anyway , I better get to the bench .
