Soulcrusher-

I hear ya!  I am trying to finish up aircraft for three GBs right now too, before another starts up next month and then this one in November!  Guess I had better head back to the bench and get to work too. Tongue [:P]

I guess I better get my rear in  gear then because I am way behind on my P-38 GB 1/32 trumpeter L-O! I am really looking foward to this GB like the rest of you guys. I can not wait to start my Classic Airframes 1/48 Model 14! Well of to the bench I go!

Hey I have an idea. Kelly Johnsons Birthday was 11/27/10, but I don't want to wait that long either so I'd agree with 11/1 and we'll dedicate it to the month  of his birthday.

November 1 sounds great to me, that way I can finish up the other Gb aircraft I am working on.

I'd like to join in!  I have a P-38J/L under way for the South Pacific GB, an F-5 conversion for the Monogram GB, and a P-38M conversion looking for a GB to call home.

Make mine the EC-121 / WV-2.

Airfix Super Connie plus the Oz Mod domes. I need to find decals though. I'm waiting for a CD I bought with photos.

I'll see you guys in two weeks, time for annual training.  Since we are not going to be in the field this year, I figured that I would take my P-38 with me to keep me company.  Maybe I'll have something to show when I get back since I am building this for the P-38 build as well.

Thanks guys. I have to starts my Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 first for the P38 group build but I did not want to miss out on the Lockheed build either. That model 14 was calling out from the stash pile when I saw there was a Lockheed group build.
