Looks like just the cockpit bucket and side consoles are done...pilot, seats, and sticks primered.  Yup...in the VERY early stages of its build before I paused.  Forgot that June is less than 3 months away though, so I think I'll have to pass on this one.  Gotta focus on getting my Frog done for the CAS GB.

I dont know what you have going on but I'm sure you can find some time between June 1 of 2021 and June 2022. No?

Thinking about doing a Massey Ferguson 2680. Got a few projects on the bench so won't really know if I am going to jump in this one until closer to the start date.

I have a barely-started 1/72 scale F/A-16B that I was going to be building at some point, with a nice GPU-5 hung on the centerline station.  What would the rules be for how far along a build can be?  Pretty sure I haven't finished step 1 yet.

 

Have'nt thought about that yet be we can talk.   Exterior paint and decals would be a no no.

I'd be in with Revell's Miami Vice or Magnum PI Ferrari kit.

Hi Guys,  This is my group build feeler for Welcome To The 80s GB.  Thinking of a June 1st start date.  Anything goes as long as it's period correct to the 1980s.  I'll shoot for a year but if interest wanes I'll pull the plug early..

If your building some sort of aircraft then it will have marking, camo scheme and load out it would have had in the 1980s.  If its some type of ship then it would be with the equipment that it was fitted with during the 80s.  Autos, trucks and cycles would be 1980s vehicles or older vehicles with mods that would have been done during the 80s.  Armor and other military equipment would be 1980s or older but would have to have markings, camo and equipment it would have had during the 80s.  Going to include 1980s space craft and entertainment also.  If it had something to do with space exploration during the 80s then its in. If it was in a 1980s movie or TV show then its in.

Its a bit broad but I wanted to get some other builds hopefully besides just aircraft.
