Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Frank,

well mate, thats some lovely work you are doing with that Corsair! I just know this one is gonna be good!

Gentlemen...........

after reading your posts it strikes me that most of you are happy to continue on this thread to begin our USN/USMC group build. With that in mind, may I suggest that we have a April 2008 start date? That would be the one year anniversary of our FAA GB.

Also, we need a name for it, my thinking has taken me to USN Fleet Air Wings GB (USNFAWGB)

We will have the same rules as before, only I will update the page 1 post with an extra heading  for the new GB so we can all see who is building what.......I hope this is OK with you chaps..

As for a new GB badge.......any takers? I'll have a crack at doing one later. 

Please let me know if you are happy with all this! 

Darren,

Sounds good to me mate!  I like the April idea too, that's coming up pretty soon!

Alright where to start?

Frank, that tank is going to look sweet when it's finished

Darren, my friend  Hope you have a great year.

Darren, You can put me down for the USN/USMC build  I have a number of ideas.  Let me finish whats on my plate first and I will let you know.  I'm so jazzed about the FAA still going

No way I'm missing this, Darren!! I'm in with my 1/72 Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair! Might even motivate me to build that 1/48 Hasegawa F4-B w/the Black Box 'pit and VF-84 markings that have been sitting in my stash like forever!

...and Darren!!!

Mike,

If we ask REALLY nice, will you PLEASE build the F4-B with the VF-84 markings?  PRETTY PLEASE?

Hmmmmm, something tells me that I just may have to make the F4-B my main entry for this GB.

I think I would like to joint in for the USN group build too. Put me down for a 1/48 scale F9F Panther. I know I know doesn't count but I also have a model of the light carrier USS Independence.

Darren, can you change me from undecided to 1/48 Sea Hawk on the first page please

 Mike, you gotta build that F-4B!  A Navy Phantom in VF-84 markings?

Yeah baby!

ATTENNNNNNNN....................SHUN!

Gentlemen,

those who have been crazy  brave enough to engage in the USNFAWGB have had their names added to our illustrious roll of honour on page one.

If anyone else would like to join us in April 2008 for the great builds, great pals and great laughs.........let us know. All you need is a kit, some glue, some paint and a sense of humour.

See you on the deck...................

Er..........Frank?

They do serve rum on US Carriers don't they?

Right?

Well........they will on this one!

In thirteen more posts................

OK, OK, you get the idea. 

My proposed badge for the USNFAWGB............

Well? What do you think?

Any good? 

Just to get us in the mood........

I built this for my mate last year, its a VF-84 Tomcat. 1/48 Hasegawa kit. 

Awesome!!!
