Will be great to have you on board keyda. I'll put the build thread up at some point this weekend.

I'll be in for this one, just picked up the Airfix P-40 kit from Hobby Lobby.

PBY?

I'm In!  Even though us Yanks put you Brits in your right place a few years ago, doesn't mean we can't be friends Now!

I think I will build the 1/72 scale American flying boat from wwii (for some reason I am drawing a blank on its I'd and nickname...), and I won't be able to start until after the Pinewood derby in February...you can still count me in! 

Cracking Christmas gift, thanks Bish 

I'll get the build thread up this weekend. You can enjoy Xmas knowing you have this GB to look forward to afterwards.

I’m really looking forward to this one too.

Now? Soon?

Nice, look forward to seeing that Steve.

Bish,

I purchased the Dakota Mk.VI today. This will very likely be the first of what I hope will be at least three Airfix builds. I will be doing it in the BOAC camo scheme.

Will do G, and we will do all we can to encourage you to finish it.

Bish,

It’s early for New Year resolutions, but I think I want to make 2019 my Year of Completed Builds.  The GB theme is fantastic, so how can I say no?

I don’t know what I will build (finish!!!), but there’s a LOT to choose from the stash.  The GB theme demands something British and in Gentleman’s Scale.  It would not be proper otherwise.  Okay baby steps first - a Vampire?  That kit was to me one of the first signals that Airfix was truly making a return to their former glory.

So please put me down for a Vampire T.11 in 1/72.

Thanks. Appreciate it. I won't touch it again until you drop the green flag.

frank, ye, that looks fine to me. Still plenty there to do.

Bish, I need to show you these pictures. I had started the B-29 kit more than a year ago and then shelved it because I just wasn't happy with it. When I started it I was also looking for an Academy B-29 kit but I was impatient and started this kit instead. In the last week I decided to finish the airplane as a hurricane hunter because I could clean up a lot of things I don't like about the kit. As you can see from the pictures the kit is partially built. So my question is, is the kit eligible for your group build? If you determine that the kit is ineliglble for the group build I'll certainly understand and I'll press on with the Boeing Clipper when the build starts. Thanks.

That B-29 sound slike an interesting idea. I didn't realise they had hurricane hunters back then.

Bish, I was looking at that old B-29 kit on the shelf. I may build it as a Hurricane Hunter from way back when if I can find some pictures of B-29 hurricane hunters from the 1950s. I'm still gonna build the Boeing Clipper kit as a "What If" though.

Will be great to have you guys on board. I will put the build thread up at the end of next week.

GH, if you do that Stuka, you get extra brownie points

Have a few 1/24's and the new 1/48 P-40.    The 1/24's include Stuka, Hurricane, 109, Spit and Mustang.  Won't be the Spit though, can't ruffle feathers on the host.

Will leave it up to what most want to see built

Have P-40b, will build.

I would like to join in on the Airfix build for sure please! I have planty of AF options in the stash and will make a final decision and update you when we get closer to launch. Either way please count me in.

I really love Airfix models. I have never done a 1/48 but I believe the 1/72's are the best in the game at anywhere close to the price point (sub $10 kits). Looking forward to breaking in the new year with a nice clean fitting kit for sure.

LOL, my usual response.

Well, I have one Airfix kit left in the stash. I've been wanting to build it up for sometime now but it keeps getting pushed to the back of the line. This is a good reason to get it out and done. Although I will likely be a late starter on it. It will be this one....

Apparently, this one is a new tool in 2013, so it should be a good kit. We shall see.

We hafta wait until the end of November?

 

Till the build thread goes up, then 1st jan before you can start building. Think of it as a reward for being patient and somthing to look forward to in the new year.

Will be a pleasure having you on board MM.

You can count me in Bish. I absolutely love my red box Airfix kits!
