Bombers / Heavy Hitters Group Build Guidelines.

[imalko]

Looks like you are going to have busy winter Terry...

Well,I was originally deciding between Academy 1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress or scratch build (wood/metal) Heinkel He 111H. However, I have too many things and private concernes going on right now that I'm not sure if I'll even participate in this Group Build. Might be forced to skip this one all together. I shall see when I finally manage to finish my Hurricane for MTO GB.

Harrison, u need to find out what decals come with the kits first and foremost....

Go from there....

Yea...

Well the box says on the side, the seller showed KG 100. But then again we can't know for sure

Dang I wish my modelling skills were up to snuff, I've got a1/48 Tamiya P-47 I'd like to enter as a ground attack A/C but wanted to get a couple cheap models under my belt again before I tackled the expensive stuff.

 

[Airframes]

Why not grab a cheaper kit and enter anyway Buck? It's a sure way of getting back into the slot, and you'll get plenty of help and advice, as well as a ton or two of encouragement. Maybe try a 1/72nd P47, or a cheaper 1/48th P47 as a practice run for the 'good' kit?

I.E. - Me. My thread has 1600 something posts from the o-so-kind Wojtek!

 

[Bucksnort101]

I should do that, but I am also terrible for starting a project and not finishing it for several months due to having too many things going on all at one time. I'm just full of excuses. Looks like a trip to the Hobby Shop this weekend, plastic models are all 20% of in the month of October. National Modelling Month or something to that effect.

 

[B-17engineer]

Really?

 

[Bucksnort101]

Really?

Yes, Really; Saw the sign there last weekend when I stopped to get some CA Glue to fix a cracked gunstock. Saturday is the last day of the month though so I better get to it.

 

[B-17engineer]

I didn't know that! Well I was planning on hitting the hobby shop Friday. Hopefully it's the same there !

 

[Bucksnort101]

Not sure if it is actually a National thing, but I have seen that sign in that particular store in October the last few years.

 

[B-17engineer]

True true! But hey I got 50 dollars there as a birthday gift! Anything could happen

 

[Bucksnort101]

Could someone point me to the rules and guidelines to group builds?

[Bucksnort101]

Thank you. Not sure how I missed them. Search engine does not always seem to like the keywords I type in to search for things.

 

[B-17engineer]

Well after my 4 month absence from the site I had no clue either

 

[rochie]

should have the garage converted by a week on thursday so should be able to participate in this one with my 1/48 Revell Ju 88 A4, was looking at getting decals to do Werner Baumbach's supposed machine with 16 ship kills on the tail, but might look around for another subject.
also looking at getting a 1/48 B-17 G and doing one of the aircraft brought down near where Roman lives in the Czech Republic

 

[lesofprimus]

me too still gutted about missing the MTO build

 

[lesofprimus]

Me too, and I took alot of sh!t from the wife cause I didnt Build the Strawberry Bitch for her.....

 

[Bucksnort101]

Oh what the hey. I'm gonna build that Tamiya Bird (P-47d Bubbletop). Probably be less work then trying to build a poorly fitting cheap model anyway. Less filling due to better fit of parts and I can always buy another one I guess.
Going to build one up in a fighter/Bomber role. 404th Fighter-Bomber Group?
