                        I would be interested if we could include jets up to the Korean War era. that way we would see a good variety of participants.

                        I would be more interested in a build including any jet up to the end of WWII but that is just one man's opinion. BTW I saw an article not too long ago on the Italian jets. I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

                        Hey Razor,

                        First Jets would be the Gloster Pioneer, Bell Aircomet or Heinkel jets. The Messerschmit may be overdone, but if some one was to do a conversion to the taildragger that would be cool. The Japanese Kikka would be a good one as well. However, since this is the "talking" stage what would you suggest? If anyone esle wants to jump in on the planning or conversation please feel free.

                        Could you be a little more specific about what you mean by first jets? Do you mean like the Gloster Meteor, Me 262 etc or do you mean the first prototypes like the Gloster Pioneer etc. Or do you mean something different altogether?

                        Cool glad to have you, great to see the growth of the Group. There was a post on the Airplane Forum about too many Group Builds, to a degree I concur, however...Would any of you be interested in one (or both) of the following for later in the year, either Air Racers or First Jets?

                        Hey guys, I'm in as well! I will either do my P-47 Razorback or the Me 262 from Tamiya. These group builds are a great way to learn and share techniques as well as meet some fine people! Looking forward to June 1st!

                        Hey Joe,

                        Since I jump started my Sword FM-2 Wildcat I decided to go ahead and finish it. Something about an unfinished model just sitting there on the workbench... Gotta finish it.

                        Instead of that plane I will just build Minicraft's XF5F-1 "Shortnose" Skyrocket for this group build OOTB. Thanks.

                        1/48 scale Tamiya P-47 "Razorback" - Complete
                        1/48 scale Testors/Lone Star Models PT-22 Recruit - 20% Complete 
                        1/48 scale Monogram C-47 Skytrain - Not Started

                        Thats really funny, cause I have the same problem. I'm down to either AM 1/48 Yak-1 or 1/48 IL-2. I figure these kits are detailed enough that I can resist the urge to add something.

                        Hey Joe, think you could copy and paste the participant list into your first post? Kind of hard to find on the bottom of page two. Also, people looking in might not think there are very many people signed up! My 2 cents [2c]

                        OK Joe, you can mine to the list. I'll do the new 1/32 scale Hasegawa Nakajima Ki84 Type 4 Hayate ( " Frank " ). I usually build only 1/48, but thought I would try a 1/32 build for a change.

                        This GB just keeps growing. Hope I'm around to start it when it's go-time. Hey, if I'm gone for training at the beginning of the build, can I add that time I was gone to the end of the build? Wink [;)] Honestly, I hope to be back shortly after the beginning of the build, and the Me262 shouldn't take long to make.

                        Sorry, I didn't want to be a killjoy. In fact I kinda want to start working on my Sturmbird. Wink [;)]

                        Oops. I didn't see the start date was changed to June 1. Thought it was Feb. 1.

                        Oh well... Guess I'll stop on the FM-2 for a while.

                        Ah, did we start this build? I thought the start was set for June? I shouldn't start any other kits until I get a few that are already on my bench cleared... Sad [:(]

                        Unlike Joe I got Intahrnet where I'm at on the road here in Minneapolis! Much easier weekly commute from Chicago than my last assignment in Los Angeles.
                        Thought I'd break the seal, pop the chery, <insert cliche here>, and post an update of my Sword FM-2 Wildcat build.
                        Here are a couple pics of the fuselage halves, before I smashem together.


                        ...and here's the greased up engine screeeeaaaaaming for AM accessories. Alas I must abstain.

                        Oh dear, here we go again. At least I have kits on hand to choose from and don't have to go buy more like I have to for the other group builds I've signed up for. I will do a Hasegawa 1/72 B-17F. Its been on my shelf for years and a group build may be just the ticket I need to get it done. Thanks!

                        Dave
