Of course you can! I'm always happy if someone joins one of the GBs i host! I put you on the project roster already!
Cheers, Clemens
Just stumbled on the this GB, I've been loitering around trying to find some place to go after the WW1 GB. I literally just started a Hasegawa 1/72 S-3A Viking 4 days ago. Going to do it in VS-31 markings from a old Micro scale sheet . Will try to post pictures in the next 2 days. Can I please join?

I just finished painting the gear. It is not glued together though. Painting the gear bay and glueing the cokpit in the fuselage is next. I still have to sand down the seam of the fuse halves after this. I'll put up some pics as soon as all of that is done. Maybe I can add the wings as well...
Clemens
The landing gear look a bit confusing, but go together quite well.
Looking forward to your progress pics!

Looking really nice, Eric! The belts are finished now and I'll start work on the Landing gear next. There WILL be an update today.
Airbrushed the primer & pre-shaded this morning. Looks like storms here in Ohio so, I got it done early.
I also finished assembling the landing gear and drop tanks, last night. Those will get a primer shot next.
I added the manufacturers your project list!
1/72nd Hasagawa A-6e / 1/72nd Academy F4F-4 / 1/48th revel TBF Avenger
The "fabric" parts are all pre-painted. There is no need for paint on the PE as well, so yes, everything prepainted. And they have some pre-cut belts as well.
Here's an example of those HGW belts. I'm warning you though, they are really fiddly in 1/48th scale!

Good looking Hellcats. I've gotten a little painting done in the nose gear well and assembled all the ordnance over the weekend.
looking good, Eric! I just glued the pit between the fuselage halves, so there should be an update of my kitten as well untill this weekend.
If you want to see the fiddly stuff, you have to wait till then. I can tell you one thing though: The belts consist of the actual fabric (textured foil) and the buckles are tiny PE-parts. You put those belts together like the real ones, just much smaller.
Here we go. Last update on my Wildcat today:
SchattenSpartan Nice work! You are making progress much faster than me and the only aditions to my Wildcat are a new Engine (simply repaces the kit parts), the missing Seatbelts (some really fiddly stuff from HGW) and some masks from Eduard to make painting easier. Clemens
Nice work!

Comon' I want to see the fiddly stuff!!
By the way, what Eduard masks are you using?Just for the canopy?
I'm using Parafilm to mask.
I will post one more
....then continue working on that MPC Tie Fighter kit. That thing is horrible, flash and fit wise!
I have a tipp for you as well, Eric!
Paint the underside of the cokpit floor and the inside of the fuselage near the small windows green. You can see the inside through the clear parts.
SchattenSpartan I like your kiten, Eric! Thats some nice work in the pit! Mine has some belts now. I'll post some more pics when the fuselage is completed. Clemens

Thank You!
I am just doing OOB. Although, I am really surprised Tamiya didn't include at least "seat belts molded in"
A word of caution, if you are planning on including the drop tanks, the wing mounts are very fragile. One came off the sprue with no problem & sanded. The other, broke in two. Not a major issue, gluing back together now
Started work on the engine, painted and letting the black wash dry:
I like your kitten, Eric! Thats some nice work in the pit!
Some cockpit progress:
Seems like I'm not alone!
I have a Wildcat, a F3F and soon 2 Hellcats as well on my bench!
All in 1/48th scale.
You are not late at all btw!
I put your birds on the list. Just tell me the manufacturer(s) of your kits...
i'm a little late getting in but I've got three USN aircraft on the bench currently that I just started on. 1/72nd F4F-4 Wildcat, & A-6e Intruder and 1/48th TBF Avenger... got me a miniature ironworks happing on my bench right now. :)
Looking good, shiv!
Stu- really nice looking Hellcat you have there. Great work.
Dre- looks like you have your hands full with that Tomcat
Well work and life finally let me get some bench time done this week-end and got the cockpit done up
Bud: I put you on the list with your Tiger. If you are sure about the cougar just let me know.
Tony: Sure, mate I changed it already for you.
Hi Clemens,
I signed up for a 1/72 Buffalo. Could I change it to a 1/72 Eduard F6F-5N please.
Thanks
Tony
I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
1/72 Hasegawa F11F-1 Tiger, VF-21. May also do the F9F-8 Cougar that's the other half of the combo as well.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
Just tell me the exact model you are building and you are in!
Welcome to the GB
Clemens,
If I could I'd like to join in. I'm thinking something from the 50's, made by Grumman and in Divine Scale (1/72).
Just in case anyone was wondering...No, I haven't started this kit. Yep, was in my stash.
I had to get the room ready for building again. I did manage to glue the fuselage halves together though
Now, I have to go through my acrylics and make sure I have the colors I need!
PS...I can't believe how bad my eyes have gotten. I think I may need some cheater glasses, to do kits now!
