The 1/72 Academy fighters are nice simple kits that fit together well and have nice surface detail. You can find some on eBay in the $20 range

The 1/72 Academy fighters are nice simple kits that fit together well and have nice surface detail. You can find some on eBay in the $20 rangeQuite a buzz here. I find myself looking at kits
Now .... that is a long looongg time ago.
No talent but what the hey.
What would be a 1:72 absolute beginner kit be to advised? Just shake and bake i mean.
I am willing to spend about 10 hours on it.
Nightfighters is a thing for me. The 110 with what ever radar should be good
What would fit a GB? I am living very close to a big retailer, so shoot.
Plan is not competing or posting but just re- candelling some youth magic.
It may suit what I would like to build.N4521U Bill, are you gonna put a list together?
Calling @Davecww1, @Airframes, @Jock Tamson , @Wayne Little, @le_steph40 , @dneid , @rochie , have a look at the previous pages and throw in your choices if you wish.
Also @Bernhart , @Bustedwing , @Lancaster630
True but he later said that list was superceded by his other one in Post #28Donivanp in the first post (item #2) - he gets credit for the idea!
Done! NOW there are three votes for transports.Andy I've modified my selection, dropping Light bombers for Recon and modified what I would like to see.
Got you down for this idea Terry and will add more later if you submit more.I like the list so far. Not much to add at the moment, although I'll try to contribute a couple of ideas later.
One idea, however, would be to cover wars / conflicts involving aircraft, after WW2 up to the present day, with Korea and Viet Nam being obvious choices, but with many, many possibilities, from "bush wars" to all out conflict.
This would be open to any type of aircraft that had been involved in the chosen event, and would include jets, props and (dare I say it) rotary wing, combat, transport, recce etc etc.
Got your choices Karl thanks, including the vote for Terry's idea. For your "Twin Engines, WW2 and after", I've combined that idea with Glenn's "Twin Engined a/c of all Eras".That list covers most of my ideas in some way or another.
Favourites are.
jets, any era
Twin engines, Ww2 and also after ww2.
PTO build
Winter war
I like Terry's idea of other war aircraft too
i could probably find something for a lot of that list
The Korean conflict is a great opportunity to have WWII era fighters mixed in with Jets, too.I like the list so far. Not much to add at the moment, although I'll try to contribute a couple of ideas later.

Dot points Andy!
I don't (readily) see a place of residence for you, US, Europe, down under?? But if in the US? I just returned from Hobby Lobby, restocking glues and brushes and such and could not pass up the 40% off Airfix Mustangs and P-40Bs at $5.99. If nothing else they will become paint mules. All have a 'new-tool' date in the 2011/2012 time frame so should be good kits to throw together on a weekend.Quite a buzz here. I find myself looking at kits

OK, I'll add night fighters and transports to my selections.Of those who voted so far, Donivanp, Crimea_River, Ralph Haus, T Bolt, Vic Balshaw are maxed out with 8 picks:
Fubar57 and Airframes have one vote each and can add up to 7 more each
Mainly28s has 6 votes and can chose 2 more
PlasticHero has 7 and can do one more
Graugeist has 4 and can do 4 more (accounts for combining the 2 transports into 1)
Rochie has 5 picks and can add 3 more.
If anyone sees it differently, let me know.
