Ok, thats fine. I am also in the twin engine fighter GB, but as that doesn't end till Sept i can do this first. I will probably be starting at the start of March, once my 251 is deffinatly finished. Will give me a month to scrape together some spare parts and decals as the kit is pretty sparse on both. So pencil me in but i woun't take the badge untill i know i can 100% get it finished in time. As i mentioned, i am going away at the end of this month for 3 months, so will give me something to look forward to when i get home.

Hi Red,

I caught your post in the Prototype GB.

I'll try my best to to get to that 236A-1.

I had to backout od the Mudmovers build due to my work schedule. Things seem to be slowing up a bit so I may find the time.

Bish, hold on; I made an error.  We have until may.  8 months is the timeframe.  That should give you enough time to build your entry.

Sorry, I'm back!  Yeah, all you guys who want to join, your entrance into the squadron has been approved! 

Guardsmen is right.  March first is the end date.  (6 months; enough time, metinks....)

Good hunting.  Let the build begin!  All planes, attack!

-Red

Cool. Sign me up.

I better start working on my Do-335. A Me-262 could come later.

Woo Hoo - it's Oct 1st.
Let the builds begin!

Got my Monogram D0335 Arrow 1/48 all ready to go for this wednesday.

Hi Red,

I've decided I can't face a short-run kit at this time, with its rescribing, alignment crises and such... (Dragging a Matchbox 1980s kit up to spec has mentally taxed me!) So I looked further afield and found Revell's Gotha 229 flying wing. Produced around '96, I never knew or I wouldn't have messed around with PM's offerings. Excellent fit and detail, good cockpit, recessed panel lines, what-if decals, stencil data... She should be a beauty!

Cheers,

Mike

bump.

P.S.  Build starts this week!  Be Ready!

Missed that!

I'll park it for a few more weeks.

Karl

Hold on, KJ!  A little longer!

ollie, good to have you in the group! Yeah you can do all the kits you mentioned.

-Red

We're not supposed to start until October 1st!

This little detail is not listed in the rules on page 1, so it would be easy to miss.  It's mentioned on page 2

The Flitzer is out of the box and on the bench!

I assembled the pit last night, along with the wings and the tail booms.

Currently painting the pit.

I'll post pics when I get a chance.

My Revell Flitzer arrived on Friday, as did the Type XXI U-boat, the Kriegesmarine's answer to Luft 46.

The U-boat is up to build first, but I don't think that that will take more than a week or two, after which I'll start on the Flitzer.

(some weeks later) bump

I hope not but once october comes there will be more activaty.

Good to hear.  There was so little activity here I was beginning to wonder if the whole thing was going to fall through....

Hi Red 13 Bar,

I've received some accessories that'll contribute to the Mistel IV -- a Me 262 A-series clear vac canopy, as the clear parts in the MPM kit have yellowed with age. I might consider press-molding a replacement for the nose bay transparencies also. In addition, I picked up a good sheet of swastikas to go with my selection of fighter crosses.

I have four rescribing projects on at the moment, so it's basically first-come-first-served as to what I feel like doing at any moment, the good news is I'm getting there a bit at a time!

Cheers,

Mike/TB379
