If anyone has to wait a couple of weeks or so to get their kits, don't worry, I have to wait as well

Hey greentracker98,

So, I am getting hooked on these GB's and saw this one after reading Bish's thread on GB's.  So, permission to join with the AMT/ERTL Batwing from the "BATMAN" movie.  And in keeping with the "make sure you are having fun" rule, I had my daughter pick the kit for this GB and my wife picked the one for the US Carrier Aviation GB!  They had a blast picking the kits for me! Thanks!

Yeah, I had narrowed it down to 2 planes for the Carrier GB when my wife came down, so I had her choose.  So I thought it would be cool for my daughter to pick the one for the Hollywood GB and I wrote on little pieces of paper about 12-15 kits I had that would fit the GB.  Put them in a box, shook them up and had her pick.  She loved it!  I saw that the Batmobile from the same movie is being done!  That was one of the ones I had in my stash and for her to possibly pick.  Turned out well I think!  Thanks for "casting" me!

Seeing as how I already started the Pilatus PC-6C,in the Air America Build, going to enter the C-123 Provider. It also is in the Movie " Air America".

It will be a way more challenging build, due to the resin body.

Ken:

I've fixed the spelling (my fault) for the GB badge.  I've been meaning to correct it.  People can grab it if they want.

Hi Everyone,

You may recall that I'm doing the Batmobile for this GB.

Here's the starting photo. Lots of black plastic, kerbside. AMT/ERTL chose to bag each sprue individually to protect it, except the clear one, which was unprotected. Interesting.

I'll make a start today, I think.

Cheers

Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

not much to 1/350 modern subs and they don't get all weathered up either. just means more emphasis on the build, seam work, and painting. have a VIRGINIA and a PLAN YUAN in the stash.URL=http://s172.photobucket.com/user/waynec_kits/media/2013%20ALFA%20AND%20DALLAS/BOX_zps4225e9b0.jpg.html] [/URL]

I need a few more parts...
