There are tons of stangs being built, at little too many if you ask me. I think that would be a good Idea for a group build though I have a Tamiya P-51B kit too, just sitting there staring at me waiting to get started

You can never have enough Stangs... Wink [;)]

Anyone else who's interested, chime in; I'll tally up the roster, come up with some 'rules' and get this GB thing going...

Oooooo.... There's a 1/72 P-51B with a the accompanying resin kit sitting on the opposite shelf of my LHS that I've been dying to buy... this is evil... keep me on the waiting list, and i'll tell you when i have it! Tongue [:P]

When are the start and end dates, by the way?

I'm a definite maybe, depending on the time frame. Just now finishing up a Tamiya P-51B for the D-Day GB, but you can never have too many Stangs. Mustang Ranch has a nice ring to it, especially in Nevada.

Hmmm... I'd like to jump in on this. I've got a 'stang all ready to be started... problem is the other two group builds that I joined I didn't even get the kit started. I'll think about it when I see the finish date.... I just don't want to say I'm in and then not be able to get the kit done. It is very tempting though.

Okay, we've got a buncha varmints folks who'd like to do this...

As you may have noticed, I've started the list of those who have given a definite YES to taking part. Those who were unsure, I left off for now.


Here's THE rule:

1) The kit or kits must be finished by the end of 2004.

That's it. Doesn't matter what scale or manufacturer. If it's a P-51 Mustang of any variant, including the A-36 Apache, then it's eligible. I suppose even the Enforcer would be alright, but the P-82 Twin Mustang is not eligible at this time...

You can build it SOB (straight-outta-da-box) or you can drop all the resin and brass fixins you want into the kit(s). Do what you want...

If you've already started a kit, that's fine. The idea for this GB came to me because there were several folks who were working on Stangs or about to start or thinking about it.

If you've expressed interest, are not currently on the list, and have decided that you do want to participate, please ask me to add your name.

If you've been put on the list and want to be removed for whatever reason, please ask.

Also, please let me know which kit you intend to build and if you intend to build more than one so that I can add it to the list as well.

Upon completion of your model Once you have been added to the list, feel free to use the official Mustang Ranch 2004 GB badge in your sig or anywhere else on this forum. You can find the badge in the first post in this thread, BUT...

I ask that if you are able, please host the image yourself. If you don't know how to host or how to post an image, just ask and I or someone else will explain.


Any questions, comments, suggestions, complaints, insults or tips on a horse can be sent via email or via this thread...

You can put my name down for a filly. I've got a half complete Accurate miniatures A-36 Apache that I've been working on. I've just been waiting for some flat coat for it, and I got that today so it's under way again. It's being built OOB with the kit decals.

One question though, can pictures of completed models be posted in this thread or in a seperate one?

OK, I can make the end of 2004 end date so count me in. I'll do a Tamiya P-51D with markings for "Detroit Miss". Probably use some AM PE & Resin on this build.

Man do I want to join this one...but I have 5 kits to build in 4 other GBs.... I do plan on building the Tamiya Colt kit you sent me last summer in Tuskegee colors, but I am not sure I can get them done by the end of 2004...I sure would like to try though- so put me down. What the hay... Wink [;)]

I myself have no problem with images being posted in this thread. I think there was concern in other GB threads that alotta images might make it a PITA to look through and that links to images would be more desirable, but I'm not sure on that; I haven't really participated in many GB's up 'til now.

Anyhoo, if that was the case with some of the other GB threads, then links to images would be cool.

But I reckon I like'ta see them-thar pitchers pop up magic-like in furnt'a ma eyes...

I just picked up a Tamiya 1:48 P-51 B, and a set of Aeromaster Decals for "Tex" Hill's ride "Bullfrog" while CO of the 23rd FG in China. So count me in. Great Idea

Since your letting started kits be part of the build this will be good motivation to finish my 1/48 Hasegawa P-51K. I will be building (finishing) it straight out of the box with aftermarket decal representing "Sunshine" piloted by Lt. Col. Bill Banks of the 348th FG, 5 AF.
