Looks like there is enough interest for this to be a go in January.

Thanks lewbud. I think I will go with a 1/48 Revell F-84G that looks very nice in the box along with some VERY colorful am decals I have.

Buddy, I'd probably be in with an Hs-129.

 

I almost said that.  I've got 3 Hasegawa in the stash. One is the B-3 with the 75mm

Sure, I have a couple 1/72 kits near the top that would fit the GB.

That will be cool.

The Apaches are definitely allowed.

I just picked up some A-10s last week and might have a few Apache helicopters if those are allowed.

On Ed's bench, ???

This is looking up.  Bish and a Stuka, who would've guessed.Big Smile

John,

I've heard good things about the Zvezda Hind in 1/72.  Don't know about the other scales.

TJ,

Would the Tiffie be prop or jet?  Don't believe I've seen a modern Tiffie loaded with big things that go boom.

Keyserj,

Always good to step outside your comfort zone.

Cbaltrin,

I tend to have that problem too.  Even my own builds sometimes.

Learmech,

The big one, sounds like fun.

Mrmike,

Look forward to seeing what comes out of your stash.

G,

Israeli I take it?

This is looking promising.  Hopefully we'll get some more like minded souls on board.

I've got several in the stash that qualify. The January start date sounds good.

Would there be interest in a CAS group build?  There hasn't been one of these for a while and was wondering if there would be some interest.  Range of aircraft goes from the kites of WWI to the jets of today.  Strategic bombers are out, unless you're building a current B-1 with the appropriate pods for precision guided munitions.  Fighter versions of aircraft aren't allowed, but load her up with bombs/and or rockets and she's good to go.  Dedicated attack aircraft definitely allowed.  Attack helos definitely allowed.  Gunships also.  A couple of lists to go by.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attack_aircraft

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_helicopter

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunship

If there's enough interest, figure a start date in January.
