Larry Wolf Memorial Close Air Support Group Build 2021 Needs YOU!
Posted by lewbud on Saturday, November 7, 2020 11:31 PM

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

Start date: 01 Jan 2021 to 31 Dec 2021

Da rules:

See above references for ideas.   If it's not on the list, ask.

Started kits are welcome.

Crossovers are welcome.

Take lots of pics.

Have fun.

Well, lewbud, I'm still in with the Monogram F9F Panther all bombed up.

I have the 1/48 Airfix Sea Harrier in the stash as well.

 

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

Alright guys, got you on the list.  This is an auspicisious start indeed, although I was hoping Bish would step out of his comfort zone and do a bomb laden Spit.Big Smile

   My first group build will be one of Bish’s.  If I don’t freak out, I would like to join with Academy’s Viper Cobra.  I think that qualifie.  If not, I will build something else.

I'm in with a WWII Russian aircraft, still deciding which kit. Choices are a 1/32 Hobby Boss IL-2M3, a 1/32 Trumpeter Mig 3, or a 1/48 Zvezda Pe-2. All three are clamoring for attention, so I'm happy to have the rest of the year to decide.

This is shaping up to be a very interesting GB!
