Revell Monogram Group Build!!!

OK guys, I cheated and started early. the official start will still be Jan 1 07, but feel free to start early!

you can see in the pic above the scribed and filled lines

this one here, the one on the right, you can see the rescribed lines because they are darker than the corresponding ones on the opposite side. I found my perfect rescriber! it was hiding in a cheaply Wally World Swiss knife thingy. its surprisingly good!

I checked squadron web site and they (being vendors of Everything for plastic) have no AM parts listed for the F-106  It looks like another OOB build for me. Sorry group leader.

don't be sorry. I'm sorry for you.

wow! glad someone's getting really into the build looking forward to seeing the finished product

Yea I jumped at the chance to finally build my 240 ^_^

 I did a lil shopping to get ready for the build. Most of it is from Detail Masters. Dist. Kit, elec wires, steel braided hoses for cooling lines plus billet brake rotors. I also grabbed a tamiya R34 dress up kit for some 18 in nismo wheels and there cool graffix.. sweeet. I have not decided which motor I want to go with, but if anyone knows where to get a 1/24 or 1/25 SR20det that would be my first choice.

Not sure if ima use these... detail is not the best.. but better than kits

Hi jinitith2, I've never paticipated in one of these before and it seems it would be fun. However the problem I foresee in my joining if you would be so kind, is that my Revell is, like smokingguns33, The Gato class sub. Now the kit does come equipped for four differnt versions, so let me know.

Supraman, it is perfectly fine to build the identical version as his! (fine by me, I dunno about smokinguns3 tho ) I'll put you on the list ASAP. welcome to the build!

The revell Gato is not a RG model its a revell of the USA.

well since you speak so respectfully, I will allow for the commencement of your membership.

take care not to vomit all over the model. I saw Doom Grr building it and a glance was enough to make me upchuck my brunch

OK guys, so I stayed up till 1:20 in the morning yesterday to find out that the dental probe I bought as a scriber is a piece of crap. instead of panel lines, it's creaking something that looks like weld marks, and the point is not sharp enough, so the like is too wide and too shallow.

well, I'ma have to crack out my Mr.Surfacer, fill all of the lines, and rescribe with a better tool...
