Jin,

What do you think of this Tag for the GB? I grabed the Revell logo of their web site and added to it on Paint Shop Pro. I think it's pretty cool. Let me know what you think guys.

NICE! could you shrink that a little bit? I like the design overall, but I could use the original RevellMonogram logo and a tad bit smaller in size.

otherwise, its excellent Big Smile [:D]

Thanks Mortar!

Here is another idea for GB badge. I added a flaming background.

Let me see what I can do with it. I have that logo already. I'm going to try removing the white BG on it and try a few thing and I'll post them ASAP.

i think if we want the flaming background, then we have to get the new Revell logo and just type Monogram under it, but if we want the original logo, which I like because of a more nostalgic and infamous feel, then we have to go with something else... like something patriotic?

YES!!!!! I like that one the best.

of course, the fault finding me.

for people who don't like banners for badges, could you offer a badge type thing as an option? I personally would go with the banner, but having a badge as well would be perfect. THANKS A BUNCH AIRMASTER!!! Big Smile [:D]

Is this build strictly aircraft only? It says its open to any Revell but I am noticing all kits so far are AC. I have a few armor kits I could snag from work so I was jsut curious..
