Going Big GB

Theuns

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

Howzit !? (for non- Saffers it is a mixup of How goes it)

Yea no hassles mate join. Come on in.....the water's fine LOL.

My avatar is of my "ops badge" Use to be Speck Ops med when I was way younger and fitter. Specializing in NCB, Aviation and convensional armoured "fun" back i n the 90's ;-)

Jodi Shekter nogal ...all thumbs way up on that one :-D

I recall his son tried his habd at Indi 500 some time ago?

Shoot me a PM some time and tell me where you located.

Theuns

Hey Theuns, looked at the name - and of course the avatar - and was sure you had to be from SA. Good to "meet" another!

I usually don't do this, but am busy on another GB with a subject that will both fit this GB as well, plus might have some mutual interest! Started off with a 77 Tyrrell P34 and then realised all the bits are in there to make a 76 version. So I am (very slowly!) busy building a Tamiya 1:20 Tyrrell P34 - Jody Schekter version, depicting the P34's only win in Sweden (and it was a 1-2 too boot!) Not doing any funnies, except converting it to the 76. Straight OTB build.

If it is okay to join this GB with that one as well, I'll jump in. Otherwise I will join later with another large scale one...

cool

I believe so, if it's not I'll update ya.

The Tamiya mustprang?

I guess I'll be doin the 1/32 Mustang.

Ok, I'll give the Hind some serious thinking.   Thanks guys!

That looks a little fishy to me LOL.

Lord knows I don't know much... so i don't know if there ever was a Corsair with a bubble in the true sense like a P-51D, but the -1a was the 1st variation off the original with the bird cage and that was eliminated.

I'll get the badge ball rolling

Needless to say there were lots of photo choices to illustrate the concept but I would have been banned for sure

Tom, I have the same problem.....I have the Tam P-51, Trumpeter F4u1d, , Trumpeter MiG 19 PM and the WNW SE5a..............all of them deserve the best building skills I can muster so I am a tad "carefull" on witch one to buld LOL.

Guys, if you have ideas for a badge please post them, we can vote on it  :-)

Theuns

I'm glad I'm not the only one! So many kits, so little time. Full bore and a lot of free time dedicated, it still takes me 6 weeks to complete one "properly" to my standards. I have that Tamiya P-51 as well, and I just ordered the new Tamiya Corsair...

Dang it.  

Guess I will have to see if I can clear my bench, hopefully by finishing something.

Thinking on this.

Well. There is that 22 inch long Tamiya 1/32 F-16CJ in the stash as well. Typhoon for now, though!

Mark, I'll put you on the list.I have the Tam 1/32 P-51 and the F-4u came out after it, so I am sure that Corsair has to be absolutely the pinicle of model engineering, very interested to see what yours look like.

HIND.....DO the HIND!!!  Loads of them here in Africa, damn ugly, crude, noisy but it gets down to buiseness :-)

Theuns

Since I have the new 1/32 Tamiya F4U-1a that I was planning on starting in the next few weeks this looks like a good opportunity to jump back into the water. I'm so in.

I wouldn't like be at the business end of one.

I like them all, but the Hind is a very menacing beast.... the stuff of nightmares for ground pounders...

I'd go with the AV-8 myself.

I can't decide whether I want to open up a AV-8B II+, F-15E, F-16C or Mil Mi-24V Hind E for this GB...  

Anybody have an opinion to share on these choices?   I have several other options if none of these are exciting.

Dang, you will have to buy your glue and paint in bulk for that one!

Updated....

Wayne, I have you down for a 1/53 Blackhawk? It is a long GB , maybe you can tackle the BF 110 later...

Is that the Academy Blackhawk?

Theuns

since you opened up to everything please put me down for the TRUMPETER 1/35 K-5 RR GUN i am doing for the choo choo GB. at 38" not counting the low side gondola and diesel locomotive, i think that counts as BIG.

 i have the ACADEMY and the ITALERI  BLACKHAWKs and a 1/48 ACADEMY SH-53. and i don't do airplanes.

i have a 1/32 BF-110 which is probably not a good first airplane. however if we can go 1/35 i have a pair of BLACKHAWKs in the stash

Sounds like any version of the Mustang........

Oh.....well......hmmmm..... I have a GB starting in April and a Boeing Build in June. I may be a little booked....let me think about it. I'm afraid, like we discussed Theuns, I'm not sure of the participation. In fact I'm a little concerned regarding the Boeing Build participation.

put me down for a 1/32 f4u-1 by Revell

Sounds like any version of the Mustang........

Why don't you host a "Pony GB"  ?

I'd love to, but I'm not sure what that is.

I have the 1/32 Tam P-51 in the stach calling my name .....aswell as a 1/48 F-51d.
