I hope to be joining in on this one.
I have about five 1:72 F-4's (a small collection I know compared to some of you guys) so I'll go with Fujima's F-4E Phantom II for the present.
Glad to see a 6 month GB.

I'm interested in this one too.
As for kits, I have a Hasegawa 1:72 F-4C/D Phantom II ‘Vietnam’ and a 1:72 Hobby Boss Sea Knight.

I know that someone has already picked this kit, but for the mo it's all I can find in the stash.
1:72 ICM Messerschmitt Bf109 E-3 1/JG51 flown by Feldwebel Heinz Bar September 1940.
I'd like to make the 1:72 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.I for 92 Squadron, but I believe someone has already chosen this. If duplication is OK..............
Cheers

I'd like to join in on this one.
Made up five kits for a 'Nam' build last year and would like to add to them. Finishing two maore as part of Kuta III.
I'd have to go through my stash but I am sure there is something in there.

I'd like to join in on this with an Academy 1:72 OV-10A Bronco and an Academy 1:72 A-37B Dragonfly.
Both of them were started for a Vietnam GB but I only manged to complete five other kits.
Cheers

Hi guys,
I'd like to enter this GB with the Airfix 1:72 Short Sunderland and the Airfix 1:72 Hawker Sea Hurricane HMS Nairana "Most of 1944 was spent in Atlantic convoy duties onboard HMS Nairana, and in May and June two JU 290s were shot down" (Fleet Air Archive).

Haven't built my Airfix 109G-6 yet so looking forwrd to this WIP.
In the modellers datafile I have on the 109, the aircraft depicted by Airfix for the Finns (MT-422) didn't have the 'bat' motif with the sharks mouth.
Apparently the pilot, SSgt. Bjore Hielm went on to found IPMS Finland. He had the sharks mouth painted on in Feb 1948 but was forced to remove it by the base commander a month later.

I built this kit in Russian markings last year. Was a joy to make.
Looking forward watching this one.

Looking good Bill.

Mark,
Just caught up on this one mate.
Looking great with the seats and tub the business.
I look forward to the day when my little helper is making a kit rather than me having to keep getting up from the table to sort
out how to get to the next stage on Lego Batman (Xbox).
Looking forward to the next update.

It was good of you to look anyway Mark.
I'm just going through the process of recessing the panel lines, so not much to show at present.
Cheers

F_M managed to get hold of this kit for me and I'll be using your thread a lot Derek.
Looking great mate.

Blimp,

Your build is just mind blowing.
Lookig forward to the next update.

Wow guys!
I put a post on showing a box and contents and not only am I told the decals will be wrong but that I'm given the correct figures too!
Thanks for the info.

Rules
in Gulf War GB
I'd like to enter this build as well.
Hobby Bosses 1:72 Mi-24V Hind-E.
I thought the bad guys were under represented, although this build will fall within the Iran/Iraq war.

Now you've got me worried Walrus!
I take it the box decals are wrong?
Deacon
-
Thought I'd better get a WIP started.
This will of course be finished in the Operation "Granby" colours, Muharraq and Bahrain 1991.
Here is the box shot.
Cheers

It's a long way off but here is my first choice for this GB, Hellers 1:72 PZL P-23 Karas A/B.
I would also like to jump in with Amodel's 1:72 Hawker Hector.
I'll try to get a box shot of these.

I would like to show interest in this GB, just can't say what I will do yet with such an open choice.

Great build faceman.

Well done mate.

Length of GBs

Voted 4 months, but then I tend to make 1:72 out of the box (lacking the skills or nerve to do much detailing).
With so many great GB's though, I've got 21 kits planned until the end of this year! Making them 4 months rather than 3 will increase build time whilst trying to cater for GB's running in tandem and decreases the number of GB's in the year, again lessening 'panic' moments.
