Welcome aboard Jacinth. I can concur that GB's are a great way to pick up tips and ideas. Only problem is they are very addictive. I have done nothing by GB's for the past 5 years. But they are fun. Those hase kits are rather nice, you should have fun with that one.

And I just saw that you did a post about the Ju 87G-2 a few days ago and have then crossed it out. have you found an answer to the question.

wayne, good luck. I am sure will builds will wow them big time. Building for fun. Now that rings a bell.

Alrighty I'm gonna build Trump's 1/35 SA-2 missile w/launcher

That is a good kit. You will enjoy it. I did.

I've definitely had my eye on it for awhile Carlos, now I have a reason to build one.

i enjoyed the SA-2 too. launcher build was great, missile was a missile. decaling was not fun, the instructions were vague. OTOH some missiles have few markings, some are camo'ed, and the text is cryillic so if it's upside down no one really knows. DON'T PUT THE "NO PHOTOGRAPHS" DECAL ON. think i have pics in the armor forum.

well hell bish when you have a big enough stash you already have something or you create your own GB to fit what you want to build. (he says as he buys a second DO-335 for a GB) i may start a modern asian GB.

Thanks Bish & Eagle, sorry for the late reply.

Bish, on the Americans use of the Bofors - my fathers battery (Battery C) had 8 - 40mm Bofors and batteries B & D  also contained 8 Bofors. However, Battery A only had 7 Bofors assigned. Not sure why they were short 1 weapon.

Each Battery also had 4 - M16 halftracks.

I've begun searching the web to try to find any identification numbers for any of the guns or vehicles of the 447th but haven't found any yet. I've found a few pictures but nothing definite yet.

Ye, I know that feeling. Its not often I have to buy a kit for a GB I am interested in. In fact, the up coming FSM figures GB is only the second time. And your right, if there isn't a GB for it, start one.

Please put me down for the M-16 Halftrack as well! I'm going to buy one tomorrow.

Well, if you think you can manage it with all your other builds. I want plenty of completions on this one. I have the Duckgeschwader standing by for those that don't

I'll just shoot your Duckgeschwader down with my mighty 88! And the survivors get some more punishment from my M-16!

Which kit is it?  1/35 I'm sure.  Let me know and I'll be happy to update you on the list!

Adrian, sorry I didn't catch that post before. So much going on. So did the Americans get the Bofors from the British, or were these something the US Army already used.

Eagle, I am guessing its the Dragon 1/35th. I think they are the only ones that do that vehicle now.

Clemens, be warned, I have my specially equipped Ju 87 Ducka's put aside just for you.

Do they have eggbombs equiped? I'm kinda scared now. I have to work on my 190s a lot harder!!! No Ducka can resist 5 Fw 190s, an 88 and an M-16!

Yep, The dragon kit it shall be! I had an eye on that one for quite a while, but I just HAVE to get it with those nice 20% off!

LMAO! Always risky to threaten an airstrike in an anti-aircraft GB.

You are updated my friend.  You have a great setup going!  Looking forward to seeing it!

Hi Bish and Eagle,

Please put me in for the 1/48 Tamiya Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind. I haven't started it yet.

Cheers

Tony

Tony, welcome aboard. Nice to see one of those, here, i as debating on doing the 35th kit, but now we have one, I can rest in peace.

Nice subject, Tony! I wanted to build one in 1/36 for this GB, but I ot the M-16 Halftrack instead...

Welcome to the GB Tony!  Glad to have you!  Great kit you have there.  I was hoping we'd get one here.  You're on the list my friend!

One week to go before we kick off. I know most people are busy with many other GB's, but hopefully we will have some builds from the off. Really looking forward to this GB. I am still debating on whether to get that big 88 and enter that instead of the Mobelwagen.

I dare ya too! 

LOL, I am already 99% sure I want to do that. I won't be able to start my build until around Dec anyway, so I will wait until Nov before I buy it, hopefully by then there will be some reviews.

Hey, Bish! I was at my LHS today and asked the owner about that big 88. He said that Merit is the same company as Trumpeter (just a different name). It should be a decent/good kit!

Really, now that's nice to know. Thanks Clemens.

Ok guys, just over 24hours until the GB officially starts. Is any body in a position to start there builds straight away or soon after kick off.

Sorry mate, I have no time untill late September...

No worries, I will be lucky to start this side of new year. Just trying to get an idea of what we are likely to expect.
