Yeah, I'm in. My first group build! Big Smile [:D] Just don't expect any of mine to be masterpieces! That means i'll have to step up the F-86 and bump down the RX-7 to accomodate the B-17G... How are you all planning to do your NMF? This alcalad (or was it krylon) stuff is supposed to be miraculous, but i can't get my hands on any... Smile [:)]

I think so. I'll have to dig through my stash and see what's there. My biggest problem right now is that my wife kicked me out of my building area. It seems she doesn't want model "stuff" on her new table.

Tempting..., but the timing on this ain't great for me. In an attempt to save $$$ on paint I'm only building blue planes right now. The strategy seems to be working. Smile [:)] Got at least six of them on the "To Do" list for this year as well after my SB2C Helldiver and JRB4 (in progress).

Then building the black night fighters (P-61 Black Widow, A-26 Invader, B-26 Maurader - night version) hopefully sometime soon next year.


Current and Subsequent Projects:
1/48 scale Tamiya P-47 "Razorback" - Complete
1/48 scale Testors/Lone Star Models PT-22 Recruit - 20% Complete 
1/48 scale Monogram C-47 Skytrain - Not Started

Well, i have a F-86F that's going though painting (currenly on hold because of financial constraints and a little mess up), and a NMF B-17G that's still in the box... I suppose this would be cool! Smile [:)]

If anyone is interested let me know. I picked a long due date in the hope that some of you would do larger projects.

I plan to do two planes in 1/48 as I listed below. But there are lots to chose from in this category. I also chose a long due date due to financial and time constrainsts on my end.

Let em know. It seams like a few of you might be willing.

AIRCRAFT - Natural metal finish group build (ends 10/31/04)
Posted by jimz66 on Sunday, February 22, 2004 1:34 PM
Well guys I am going out on a limb here. I do not want to get away from my USMC group build participation. But while I wait until things can dry I started my Dog Sabre from ProModeler. I figure that it would not take to much time to work on this. I also have an F-84G, from Promodeler, but I need to buy paint for that. Since I have no money I will have to wait a couple of months before I build that. I will also need to get decals for both of them and that is months away. However I figure I could get started on the Dog Sabre.

I figure I could paint three models at once that way at least in the beginnig.

Ok here are my "proposed rues"

1. Any Natural Metal Finish aircraft of any era, scale or type.

2. Proposed finish date of October 31.

3. Have fun and be merry,

I figure it this way. Natural Metal Finish can cover such a large area that lots of you might be interested. You have aircraft all the way from Pre World War II up to Vietnam to cover. Everything from B-17's B-24's and B-29's to the F-105's so lots to pick.

Good Luck and let me know what you think.

Ok guys here goes the list. i am going to work on it piecemeal, due to my schedual.

Here it goes

shrikes: 1/72 Academy F-86F and B-17G
newtothegame: 1/48 Tamiya P-51D, and a 1/48 Academy P-47N

jimz66: All Monogram or ProModeler all 1/48, an F-84G, F-86D, F-100D and maybe a A-26 and HOPEFULLY a B-29.
