                        Flat coat, eh.... We'll then i'll guess my model will just have to get cleaner as time goes by. kind of like my orange tank...
                        And this is not my first attemt at painting! I've painted the landing gear somewhat black, the front of my mig-15 (although the body remains dark gray) my prinz eugen (with the wrong colors) and my su-22 (If anyone is in the mood for a bout of nausea, i'll get you a picture of the "camoflauge" on this kit).
                        OK, so i need:
                        Paint (olive drab. No fancy 83.4/16.6 mixture for me!)
                        Pastel chalks (black, brownish...ish...)
                        oil paints (?... like corn oil or something?)
                        bad brush (don't worry, i'm up to my knees in those)
                        good brush (now that is a problem...)
                        silver pencil (no fancy "artist pencil" for me)
                        i'll see what I can get.

                        Good choice. Is it the italeri kit that you're building?
                        I always wanted to find this in 1/48, but don't think such a thing exists.

                        Hello guys, I've made the changes needed for this week. Hopefully when the time comes to start building I'll have the time!! I'm working 7 days a week and Monday to Friday is a killer. I've changed departments at work and I'm trying to catchup. I know do collections for the NE Texas and SE Oklahoma area for Kirby.

                        Welcome aboard cdclukey, I've added you to the list, although we're going to have to watch and keep you seperated from wade and his USS Dallas, don't want no accidental torpedoings here!! (Honest Captain, I was cleaning the torpedo tubes and they accidently went off).

                        Keep up the good work Beans, I love your patches and evidently so does every one else, I guess unofficially you're our PatchMaster.

                        Sergei, Peanut oil will work as well. You just have to be careful shooting it througfh the airbrush as it could really gum things upTongue [:P]

                        Roadkill,
                        based on rule #7, you will need to scratch the AH-1G from my list. The mig21 and F-4 are no problem however (methinks)

                        Actually wibhi2, your AH-1G IS acceptable because it was used in W. Germany during the time frame. You'll probably have to find AM decals for it or do them from scratch.

                        Mine is a Dragon kit, I was hoping to get Italeri's but they sell fast here especially the 1/48 kits-and the best thing is I got it for 260php. -that's about 5usd.Smile [:)]. I also have an Italeri 1/72 KA-50 that I motorized --(shelved at the moment because I lost the decals). I'm thinking of just painting it flat black and pairing it with the Hokum in mid flightSmile [:)]

                        Just got delivery confirmation of my Trump Hind (3/10) I hope I can wait until 5/1 now!! I definitely have enough projects going to keep me away from the kit for awhile, but I've heard it's very inspiring!

                        I hope you have fun with this kit. There appears to be a wealth of AM parts for it (specifically eduard). Someday I hope to do this kit as well in the hungarian eagle markings

                        But my Hormone Helos can easly track USS dallas and...well no, actually they probably wouldn't find it at all, even spotted a clue, especially if the crafty Bart Mancuso is in command of the boat. :-)

                        No offense taken, not a "commie" anything, but I am building a Hind for the GB - so for me it's fitting. For the record I also build panzers and I'm not a Nazi, and I also build Star Wars models and I'm not affiliated with the Empire, or the Rebellion.

Don't you guys remember the movies in the mid 80's at the height of the cold war where everyone from Russia was a "Commie Bas****? I thought the first sentence in the post would give it away that I wasn't seriously upset. SORRY.

                        Mine was a joke too, like I said no offense taken. No need to be sorry, I was just being a smarta$$ too. I actually haven't built a Star Wars model in 20+ years (since the height of the Cold War), I just had to say it.

                        I suppose in addition to my F-102 I'll try to get my RF-4E done as a little bonus, although I think the -102 will be the serious project.

                        Hey roadkill, add my 1:350 Dragon USS Ticonderoga Aegis cruiser onto the list. I checked and it wasn't involved in any of the combat dustups that occurred during her service.

                        Sorry to say that the "universal" patch and -*maybe- some Blue ones for the "Patriotics" are delayed.

                        Comrade Sergei: all the images that I used can be found by doing a search in google, sorry I dont have the exact links, I just search, take what I want, and leave. If you want the photos I think I can email them to you.

                        Got my 1/35 Trumpeter Hind, I've heard others say it but it still didn't prepare me. That's one serious kit. I was tempted to start removing parts from the sprue, but no, I'll wait until May. Looks like I'm going to need beter references though.

                        Hey roadkill, sorry to throw a curve at you, but I need to change my build. I'm participating in the Russian Group Build, and I'm going to build my Minsk for that. For this group I'm going to build the 1/350 USS Ticonderoga Aegis Cruiser from Dragon. So, Minsk off, Tico on.

                        And who knows, if I'm a fast builder I might get my KC-135 in here too...

                        Yeah, I'm still in, just haven't had much time for building right now. I've transfered offices at work and I now have an hour and forty-five minute commute each way. But yes, I did manage to get some painting done on the cockpit last wednesday night.

                        I've given this some thought about the time frame. Let's go ahead and start this one and end it on 12-31. Is this alright with everyone??? That way I can go ahead and start the next GB on 1-1-06.
