Like that neon green slime that my daughter and nephew think is the greatest thing to fling at each other?   But if it gets on the carpet, it is there till the carpet gets replaced.....

I am thinking of trying the Testor Decal paper and applicator spray stuff.  Anyone have any experience with it?  The instructions say that any inkjet printer will work, but I am questioning that a bit.  

well heres a quick update...as soon as funding starts building again.....(truck took  s#!t) ill be able to get the fj-4b fury...either in 1/48 from match box or 1/72 from emhar. the voodoo on the other hand will be a little harder to find....i have found some on ebay....f-101b's...i can just say its an f model...but still no luck on finding anything definitive...so if by july i still cant find anything ill just drop the voodoo for the gb and stick with the fury.

also if yous want to see the specific aircraft...heres the website...just click on the equipment tab and go over to fj-4b fury and voodoo 

Joe,

The idea is to reproduce something as it is on dispaly.  But if oyu don't have the ability to produce your own decals, or don't have extras in the stash to make them, just get as close as you can to the subject and the way it is displayed as you can.  Rules in this GB are made of a soft rubbery like substance to remain flexible.

Remember... if it ain't fun.. it ain't fun!

Bud that will look very cool. And don't worry about the start... it's not til July   I have narrowed my choices to a Tuskegee P-51B or an M3 Stuart

Thanks for this tidbit Marc I'd go with the P-51B myself

The Tuskgee P-51B would be cool

Bud

Bud, This is a replica of Pappy Boyington's Bird.  VMF-214 The Black Sheep!!

Good Choice 

Soooooooooooo anyone start on this GB yet or have any ideas on what you will be building ?

As for me I found the photos I was looking for and this is what I am going to build.

Don't know when I will be starting it.

I have some other things I am working on right now " Buffalo and the P-51A "

Bud

Well I would like to join this group build...I just have to find kits of two birds...
Both of the aircraft are on display at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval Park.

The first one is an FJ-4 Fury that served with VA-126

The second one is an F-101F Voodoo it served with The New York Air National Guard's 107th Tactical Interceptor Group as part of the "Rainbow Squadron."

Thanks Bud. I have a connection for pics if I need them. My buddy James (sidewinder77)

lives near there

Your choice of course but I like the Vigilante.  China Lake?

Nope. China lake has the A-5A/A3J-1 with the solid red tail.

This one was put up at the ex- NAS Sanford in Florida. Now Sanford Muncipal Airport.

or I could attempt this one

actually, I'm looking at what I have in my stash & have decals for. Don't think I have any for RVAH-3 (the Vigi at Sanford)  The RF-4B I have in those markings tho. 

Here's one I am considering for this

And of course

Cool Ed... you are on the dance card.

Anybody need me to take any photos?  Be a few weeks, as there is about 26" of snow on the ground.  Not sure if anyone wants to add snow to their model?

Don't know about anyone esle, but if ANYONE gos to go see planes and they take pics.......POST THEM

See any Corsair's please take some for me, thanks

Have a GREAT day

Bud

I've already joined in on this one.  Still not quite sure of what I want to do.  I think I will need to take a trip out to the old Lowry AF base near here to remind myself what they have on display.  If that doesn't get my decesion made, I will need to take a trip (about 1 hr south) to the the Air Force Acadamey to consider one of the planes on the parade ground.  The B-52 that they have on a display stand outside the North Entrance could be an idea as well.  Especially if I were to add the Pine trees that suround it on two sides.
