THE UPDATED FUTURE GROUP BUILDS POLL....

[rochie]

i know what you mean Njaco i keep reading the instruction sheets for my corsair and P-47, raring to go

 

[Airframes]

I'm the same guys, itching to go! But, the start date of 27th April actually adds another week to the total GB time, and allows everyone to get their threads posted, with the intro work out of the way, AND be able to actually start the build early.
But hurry up 27th, cos I want to START!

 

[Lucky13]

Gonna make personal best in model building this year lads?

 

[Airframes]

Well it's certainly increased my output! I normally do, at the most 6, possibly 8 models a year. Since joining this forum at the end of August, I've now done, including the 3 for the GB, a total of 8.5 - in 7.5 months!
No wonder Iris at the LHS and Model Hobbies are smiling!

 

[Lucky13]

Oh! I thought that she was smiling for a completely different reason.....

 

[muller]

The guy in my LHS looks like the comic-shop owner in The Simpsons.

I can't wait for this GB either, A-20 Havoc (which might be RAAF, for the Aussies here ), thinking about entering that Val too!

 

[Njaco]

ok, better now, just spent 4 hours and $$$ in my LHS. But no decent models to buy!! All the good ones were gone (or wanted $1,000 for!).

I"M READY!

 

[lesofprimus]

Hell Yea!!! Listen to the anticipation....

Im kinda bummed as my 109 has sh!t the bed, that bad paint job deflated my sails....

 

[Njaco]

Kinda like that gap on the front glass of my 410? Adapt, perserve, overcome!!!! You CAN do it!!!

 

[Lucky13]

Cooome oooonnn Dan! Show who's the boss!

 

[Airframes]

A minor, tiddly, itsy bitsy woops there's a few lumps little problem has stopped you?!!
Who Dares Wins, Dan!
Now, stop moaning and get on with it ... er....please!
(Thought I'd better add the 'please', as I'm alergic to Herring!)

 

[lesofprimus]

Its just that Im running out of time....

 

[Wayne Little]

I've stalled a bit on my 262 waiting for canopy masks...gonna have to adapt and overcome too I think!

 

[Lucky13]

Nice reminder Jan. Very useful for anyone who didn't participated so far but considering to enter future GB (myself included). I have already planed out the MTO/NA GB (at least as much as my modest incomes permits me at this time), but already have few ideas about "Heavies" GB and about other future GB as well. Though I would like to know if Cold War GB includes aircraft from neutral countries of the period (Yugoslavia, Sweden, etc). Then there is Battle of Britain GB which I'm really looking forward for...
Damn! I let myself to be beaten by modeling bug again! I blame it on you guys and this site...

 

[DBII]

they have shots for the modeling bug...jack, cpt morgan, wild turkey....

[Njaco]

I like the gell made by Testors - comes in an orange tube.

 

[Lucky13]

Guinness usually calms me down, when I get it bad....

Absolutely imalko, neutral countries are welcome too in the Cold War GB...

 

[DBII]

If anyone is interseted in doing a B-17 for the Heavy weights, I found nose art decals at Zotz enter page. I would like to do Alamo II but I think I will try a B-29 in OD and Grey.
