Going Big GB

jelliott532, your on the list :-)

Wayne, yes please mate. If you could come up with a badge I will be happy.

Thanx

I'd like to throw my hat in on this build with a crossover from the Bf-109 GB.  I'm doing a Revell Bf-109G6 Late version in 1/32.

Absolutely...

Gee Wayne, you're a graphic design guy...I wouldn't even know how to start or what software to do that type of modification....

want me to bash one out?

It's like the ols saying  "Walk softly, but carry a BIG stick"  LOL

i like the badge too, my suggestion would be make the word BIG 2x the size of the rest of the text so, when someone looks at a cluster of badges the word BIG really jumps out.

Looks good to me :-) what say you other guys, shal we adopt it as out badge??

Theuns

Actually, it would, eh? It would need just a title and date. I dunno, maybe keep in mind Theuns?

That would make a good patch.

Here's my response to that, tongue in cheek of course:

Rob,

You, my friend, are a brave soul. I'm going to have a hard enough time working on my 1/350 Indianapolis for the 45 GB, and that's not even have the kit of that WNW kit.

Oh, and yes, 'better late than never' LOL!!

Yes, my friend, you have to 'psyche' yourself up for WNW. They are BIG projects and demand so much attention that I have to distract myself from them. My AMC DH.2 took me well over a year due to 'rigging stress'.

No I didn't forget,,, I was waiting for you to turn up "fasionably late"  LOL

I will add you to the roster mate.

I am looking forward to seeing your WNW build. I am still trying to get enough courage to do my WNW SE5

Geez Theuns, ya'll forgot about me on this one!!!   I just stumbled on this GB this morn, and, as I'm a total addict, of course, I'm in!!! I've been wondering if my big Hansa-Brandenburg would find a home, SO, please include me with:

Wingnut Wings 1/32 Hansa-Brandenbug W.12 (Early). (AKA "The BEAST from New Zealand"...it's a big'un!!!!

Now, my WNW builds take bloody long, so, I'll be 'in and out' on this one. I usually take a year to do one WNW kit and this one's got like 15 sprues of parts. Bear with me and thank goodness there's a long period for this one.

Rob

Thanks, Marc. I do have some Eagle Editions decals but I appreciate the offer.

I did that kit a while back. It's not too bad. Not much cockpit detail. The thing that sticks out to me is the gun panels

How was the engine detail? I haven't really taken a look as I bought it off of eBay used. I looked like it was all there. Would you suggest any other PE besides the cockpit? This is my wife's favorite AC and I kinda want to do it up nice, within price reason, of course.

Too funny about building on the floor but at rhe same time I am thinking that not a bad idea.  Since I won't be busing a squadron of these if there is a part of that sheet you want let me know.

Oh cool. Nice decals. I like those schemes. Thanks for posting that. I have a feeling I'll be tackling that kit at some point soon. I have been collecting paints, pastels and other things for it . I'd probably make it a really weathered bird, since that didn't take long in the south pacific.

Yeah, those tiny parts. I think I have it figured out. Next time I build something with tiny parts, I'm just gonna do the build on the floor since I spend half the time down there looking for the parts anyway!

 Tom I mistyped the name... Fundekals, not funk.  Here's the decal sheets from the set. The tires and cowl flaps too.  The cowl flaps should be fun with all the tiny parts that make up all the flap actuators. 

Here's a link to Fundecal site to download the full instruction sheet.  Lots of useful info.

This is the bird I'll be doing.

Theuns,

My 1/32 Mustang is a Hase kit, not Tamiya.

;-)

It was my fault buddy,

I was sure it was a Tamiya, until I looked. I'm going to look for some AM decals though.

Sorry, been corrected :-)

Theuns,

That is one cool Corsair dang! No that I have seen that my 1/32 Trump corsair cant compare :-(

Ah well atleast I have the 1/32 Tam P-51 :-)

Theuns

Nice choices, Marc! (Though I have not heard of funkdekals) I'll be following along, for sure!

I wonder if Tam will bring out a bubble canopy Corsair? I personally do not like the birdcage one.

Theuns

You're in luck! The 1/32 F4U-1A came out late last year. I've got one on the way actually!

Correctamudo Tom.  That's the one I'll be doing. Just got the Funkdekal sheet, Vector resin cowl flaps and the Barracuda diamond tread tire.  It grab a pic of the accessories later.  This kit is beyond awesome.

Tom you lucky fish  :-)
