1944 Group Build

Snake: You're on! I really like the Tiffie!

Viejo: I just need you to tell me the scale and you're on the list as well.

Ken: Ok, I'll leave everything as it is right now.

GAF: A glider sure is something different. Welcome aboard!

Doug: It's great to have you as well! I can't wait to see what masterpiece you'll build for this one! (And now I'm not the only one building something used to fight the Japs! )

Hey Clemens, and Bish... I'd Like to jump on! Let me do just a bit of research, Being an ole Marine, I may leave my Luftwaffe briefly and do some Pacific Action Builds for a change of pace...

Bish,

Sign me up for this GB, but I'm going to cheat a little.  I had planned on doing a CG-4A Waco glider for "The Longest Day GB", but I'll transfer it over to this one (I'm still doing the C-47 for "The Longest Day GB").

I plan to still make a diorama with both aircraft, however.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone!  Hope everyone is having or will have an awesome Christmas!

Viejo, sorry didn't get back to you sooner. Feel free to join with which ever you want, or as Ken says, both. Let us know kit and scale and SS will add you to the roster.

Greentracker, I'm in error.  It's a prototype V2 that is coming, not a V1.

Having seen a V1 at Fort Sill, I've got it on my list, but for this build, the prototype V2.

There is a company called Gaso.line that makes a resin 1/48th launch ramp. But no idea is its still around or where you might get it.

If I can throw into this, I can either do a V1 that's on it's way, or a P-38J that's waiting.

Just wondering Viejo, which V-1 are you doing? Why not do both, I'm going to do Jimmy Stewart's B 24 and the V-1 Because I don't think the V-1 will take that much time.

If I can throw into this, I can either do a V1 that's on it's way, or a P-38J that's waiting.

Okay,  Don't change my buiilds, I'll do the b-24 & the Tamiya 1/48 scale V-1 I just read through the thread you posted Bish. Thanks

I'll probably get the 1/18 scale V-1 later on, but not for this build. I wasn't even thinking of the trolley for the big one. What I'd really like is to do the launch ramp for the tamiya kit, but I guess that isn't happening.

 If I could find some decent pics of the ramp, I'd try to fabricate it myself, even though I'm not all that great at scratching

The kits have been out for some time, so, I guess they don't think its worth it. If I'm interested in it, there must be others as well.

Sign me up for a Monogram 1/48 Hawker Mk IB Typhoon.

And I think the Tamiya kit comes with a trolley, which the Pegasus doesn't.

I was just doing a search, and came across a build of it on here from 2 years ago, I was even the first to comment on it lol. He says its 1/18th, and theres not much to it.

I just looked again, the scale is 1/18

Yea bish  it should be interesting

I'll be keeping an eye on that build Ken.

Welcome aboard guys, I know Clemens will add you "ass" soon as he logs in.

Hmmm Is this not a typo LOL  Actually I'm surprised Kalmbach web site allowed it. Sorry Bish, I was an English major in college

 

Any way, Here's a question. I was looking at the Tamiya V-1 today, and came accross a Pegasus 1/16 V-1 It's only a few dollars more, unless you get the already built version, but, that's no fun.

My ? is which do you think would be the better kit? Or, if anyone can answer from experience that would be great.

Thanks Everyone

Ken

 

OPP's, yes it is. That's not even how we spell it.

A 1/16th V-1, now that would be something. I would imagine it would not be quite as detailed as the Tamiya, but then how much detail is there is a V-1. And it would certainly be impressive.

Ok, I'm going to get the Pegasus 1/16 V-1 . I've never had a kit that big. Put me down for it and take off the Tamiya V -1. Then if things workout, I may get the Tamiya V-1 kit later

Thanks

Bish

I shall not disappoint you, Bish! Build roster is updated!

hey bish

here is the updated one since i deleted the one you linked to. probably why you fhe SORRY box. my mistake. it fits across the bottom of my GB signature.

Welcome aboard guys, I know Clemens will add you ass soon as he logs in.

I think I may give this one a go. I'll build something we put on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day in 1/72 scale. I know I have a couple of LCM3 and D-Day Shermans.

I would like to enter with a 1:72 Academy P-51B.  It'll be my first build in close to 25 years, so no promises on quality!

taxtp

G-J, Tamiya do a Mk VI and it's pretty good  I think. Do you have decals for it ?  I think PD Decals did them years ago, not sure who else. I'm pretty sure they're in my 1/48 RAAF stash somewhere.

Cheers

Tony

Tony - thanks for the post.  No, I don't have decals yet (don't have the model yet either.  I have a stash of 0.)  But thanks for the heads up on the decals...that was one of my questions....is where I would find decals of that squadron.

I updated the list with all your entries. Welcome aboard!

Xtradecals does those for RAF aircraft in most scales. I think also Techmod, but I have read of many unhappy expereinces with their decals.
