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'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.

Glad to have you on board, mph! Thumbs Up [tup]

You've been added to the list, so grab a badge (they're on page 1, courtesy of Daywalker) and get ready to have some fun!

Hmmm... thanks Mike, but I think you and your SWMBO deserves the credit for the final GB badge!

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

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.

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.

hk, the fact that in 1993 Lockheed acquired General Dynamics' Fort Worth aircraft division and continued to produce the F-16 under the Lockheed Martin name has me allowing F-16's in this GB. This goes back to the initial idea for the GB, and that was subjects that are affiliated with the Lockheed name, including Lockheed Martin.

Yer still in with your F-16, Frank. Thumbs Up [tup]

Phew! I was looking through my stash to see what I could build here instead of the F-16. I was looking at a 1/48 U-2R as a potential candidate; wow that thing is a monster! Maybe if I can finish up the F-16 before the GB ends, I might have a go at one of them. After seeing the real thing up close at EAA this year, I have a real desire to put one in my case!
