Well, got to start somewhere. Never done a group build before.  So put me in and I'll be doing the Academy Plastics P-47N. I'll start on OCT 01.

Hey Guys,

I think I'll kick in with an ARII 48th scale Razorback. 

 

It's a weak kit, I know, but I think I'll try to spruce it up a bit.  I'll start  1 OCT.

Here's possible badge for the GB, feel free to make suggestions, offer a different picture, or just say you hate it.  It's easy enough to change.  It's available at this size or up 1280 by 900 or so.

Joshua:

MPM did do a kit of the XP-47H, I built it a few years ago.  One thing they missed was that the air scoop up behind the cockpit should be on both sides, not just one the way the kit is.

GA.modelmaker, Dave: welcome !!!  you are in Smile [:)]

Hopefully there will be more JUGs soom Smile [:)]

For a start, I just got a "Zemke's wolfpack" - a lot of pictures I did not see yet and a lot of stories of 56FG. Its a very interesting reading.

Currently I work on a P-47M flown by Lanowski. It is a Tamiya 1/48, very nice kit. I will post some additional pictures but currently only cockpit and part of the engine is done.

Greg, put me down for a 1/72 Hasegawa Mk. II RAF version in Pacific theater markings.  Start time will be when I get to it Clown [:o)]!  Okay, I seriously don't know but I'm guessing late this year or beginning of next.

OK, Starting Date:     October 01, 2007

I put your kit on the list as 1/48 scale kits.

I did not think of a badge yet. Sure, if you something in mind please show your idea.

Greg, I'll probably start around the end of September, my official entry will be the Tamiya bubbletop, but I've also got the Academy N that I would like to get built.

Any idea about a badge yet?  I can help with that.
