Sure, an F9F-2 would do the trick. Revell and Hobby Boss make a couple of nice ones.

Here's a pic of Neil Armstrong in the Korean War

I cut this picture from Monday's Daily Telegraph newspaper  here in Sydney

I have a couple of those 1/72 Monogram X-15 kits in the stash , I could build one to match the picture above

3 people so far (including myself) if we can get to 10 I'll proceed and set dates etc...

I would be doing the Revell LEM moon landing diorama kit by the way.

I very much like the idea. I will certainly follow along, and if you need an extra person (and the timeline is long enough. July 20, maybe?) then I'm sure I can come up with something.

I would like to commemorate the magnificent achievements of this man. If John doesn't mind, I'd also like to build an X-15, if I can get one of course.

Regards

Tony

Tony , there's a few 1/72 Monogram X-15 kits on ebay some you can bid on others are listed as buy it now . You should be able to find one to your liking .

John .

I can give you a definite "Maybe".  Armstrong was commander on Gemini 8.

I have an old Revell 1/24 scale Gemini capsule that needs to be "restored" (stripping the old paint from the parts, redoing it with some extras) if that is acceptable.  It will give me a good excuse to pull it out of the box and finally re-do it.

This shows Armstrong with a capsule about the same size as the one I have.

Gary

P.S.>  Just as a note, the name is spelled "Neil".

Not sure what I'll build for it yet, but yes, please count me in.

I added a tentative roster up top and a badge idea along with start/end dates to run by you guys.

Dates and badge look good to me! In for sure!

I don't really have anything to contribute but love the idea and thought I would drop by and wish ya'll the best of luck!  

Badge and dates are good with me.

All good for me. X-15 kit acquired. Thanks for the tip John, fed my ebay addiction.

Cheers

Tony

Just a question:  The start date of 7/20/13 is almost 11 months from now.  I'm not sure if I can even remember that long!  Are you sure that's when you wish to start?

It seems good with everyone and gives people plenty of time to get their kits together, join, finish other GB's etc.. I'll keep bumping the topic every so often to keep it fresh. You could also put a sign near your build labled "Armstrong GB 7/20/13" to help :)

Did anyone come up with a complete list of aircraft Neil flew?

Will

Here are some

I know everyone likes to poo-poo it here, but check wikipedia. It has more aircraft he flew and some very interesting stories!

BUMP!

My Monogram X-15 has arrived, so I'm ready to commence and I will hold my breath until July 2013.

Cheers

Tony

I found out that Armstrong flew the NF-104A, the 104 with the rocket engine and reaction control system. Made famous in The Right Stuff when Yeager crashed it. I've had the parts in my stash for quite awhile and this is a great incentive to get going on it. So please put me down for a 1/48 Hasegawa F-104G with the Cutting Edge bits to build a NF-104A.

Will do, glad to have ya aboard!

I'll still build the X-15 along side Tony , However I spied this kit last week and bought her and she just arrived at the front door

Monogram 1/72 B-52B with X-15 ...

I'll attach my X-15 under the wing on the B-52 , should look good .

John

I also have a Panther, the Hobby boss one in 1/72. May I please join...

Yes you may, I added you to the roster on the front page.

I took the soft option John, no B-52. Yours will look far more interesting though.

Cheers

Tony

Shameless bump to keep it fresh...
