Military Veterans GB

Should be starting my Cat in a few days and will post progress pics.  Now if the decals arrive on time, we'll be in business

Edit:  Ok.  I'm going to build a F-14 D Super Cat because all the F-14A kits i've seen, i've heard bad things about or WAY outta my price range.  Would anyone have a problem if i still used my squadrons markings on  a D cat?

Hey Kenny, Good looking progress on the fraim. Looks like you are well on the way to a good build, good looking detail on that, is it Tamiya?.

Steve.

Count me in!

Academy 1/48 F-16C - VTANG markings included in the kit. Nothing fancy, just a quick build pretty much out of the box. I plan on bringing it to the office when it's done so I don't think I want to spend too much effort on it because it's likely to get broken in the long run.

I was in the VTANG as a weapons loader from December 1986 until I retired in April of 2000. I definitely loaded the aircraft depicted in the kit's decals a time or two.

I was already planning on building this as soon as I finish one for the Airfix/Heller group build over on ARC so the timing on this is perfect! I'll post pictures of the kit and decals but it will be a week or two before I dig into it.

thanks mucker for stopping in . hopefully we we all be able to start building soon. i know it will be a little tough since the holiday season is upon us but i am sure we will all sneak a little time in here and there :)

Just finishing up one build (Italeri GB, 1/35 DUKW) and my Bunker Hill is staring at me...got the Hull Red yesterday, so I'll be starting it up soon.  Haven't decided how much "extra" work I'm going to do on it, because after 3 years on that beast, I know pretty much every nook and cranny of her...

I don't qualify for this GB, but I wanted to say great idea for a GB, and my gratitude to all of you. I look forward to seeing your meaningful builds.

Hey kenny, I have not had much time on my hands with work and the folks visiting but things are slowing down now and I will look at my A-4 tomorrow and make a decision. If all goes well might get started soon. I am in the middle of other GB and now at the stage where I can do multiple projects.

Yep, still in it here... just got the kit in the mail on Wednesday... box was warped, but still in shrink wrap from years ago... Should be fun...

Oh I am still with you old man. I have a few A-4s in my stash but not too crazy about them so I might pick a new one up. I have my folks visiting for a few weeks and then I will be starting.

Steve.

Kenny, look who learnt how to use a computor (thanks to Yann ). I think I have settled on doing a A-4 for the build and hope to have one soon in 1/48. Just have to pick a manufacture.

Steve.

Thanks Yann, I think I got the jist of it now. At least this looks more familure to me now. Appriceate all the help.

Steve.
