dswoofie 13 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 OK folks, we're going to be running a quick group build at the end of this year called the KUTA GB. If you're wondering about the KUTA, it's basically a 'Kick up the bottom' This GB will be running from the 1st November until the 1st January. It's for completing any unfinished and stalled builds that may be cluttering up your workbench. What a great way to finish off the year by getting these builds finished and out of the way, ready to start the New Year off freshly (in terms of builds anyway!) Starting on the 1st November, it'll give you a chance to collect any goodies you may need at Telford to get your builds going again. The ending was going to be set for the 31st December, but I thought anyone with any last minute rushes on finishing won't want to stay in modelling on that night!! So therefore you'll get the 1st January as a freebie! More details will follow soon, but shout up if you are interested in joining in. All genres will be included, and as long as it's had about 25% of the work already done, it qualifies! Come on... you know you want to get these kits out of the way! Karl.

desmojen 2 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I got a few! I will do as many of them as I can. Off the top of my head there's a P-51A, a Mirage 2000, a Heller Homer Simpson, Lancastrian, ongoing stop start Me110, even a vac form Spitfire! Nice one, looking forward to it already Jen.

AnonymousDFB1 2,743 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hmm that Fujimi F-4 that need restoring/completing and the Première Hawk has sort of stalled. Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 531 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Terrific idea - I've got about 38 models I could enter in this! Jen, if I may drop a hint or 2, MIRAGE 2000 Edited October 9, 2008 by Nev Link to post Share on other sites
dswoofie 13 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Good, good, keep 'em coming... I'm sure nearly everyone out there has a half built kit clogging up the space! Karl. Link to post Share on other sites
Stebos 1 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Excellent idea. I've an Italeri Chinook in need of finishing, missing detailed parts & a spot of filling and painting. I'd just lost interest. There's also an An-74 I started rescribing and royally messed up, I'd need to source a new fuselage to finish it. Just the 2 'dead' projects, I'm a good boy me Edited October 9, 2008 by Stebos Link to post Share on other sites
Muller 14 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I could get that bloody DAK convoy finished. Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousER99 7 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well looks like my Tamiya MK.1 Spitfire and possibly the Dynavector Javelin may actually get done now!! Yowza!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Notdoneyet 25 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Great Idea! I might finally finish the Tornado GR1 that I started 3 years ago as my first kit in 30+ years .....then again I'll miss seeing it taunting me from the corner of my bench ....... Ian Link to post Share on other sites
The Hooded Claw 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I suspect there will be very very many entries! THC Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 306 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hmm, Daimler Mk1 armoured car, RE8, F-4... This years builds are looking a bit thin on the ground. This sounds like a good idea! Grant Link to post Share on other sites
Bandwagon 106 11 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I've got a couple of Skyhawks to finish, two to be restored after a disposal decision was overturned! and one that has just stopped. Joel Link to post Share on other sites
dswoofie 13 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Excellent, lots of interesting builds lining up so far I'll have 2 on the go I think... A 1/72 Tornado IDS, and a 1/48 Hawk 100. There's possibly a couple more that haven't been touched since my last spell of modelling from 1990!! Karl. Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin 2,252 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) I have the 32 nd Redux P-47 half-way done that stalled earlier this year. Edited October 10, 2008 by Erwin Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm up for this as long as it can include military vehicles 'cos I'm part way through a 1/35th Trumpeter Faun SLT-56 Franzisca plus a Tamiya Leopard 2 A6. They're my first models for a very long time and I've become a bit bogged down with them. This will give me a kick up the watsit to get them finished! Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 16,016 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Ship & turtle! I've got my Scimitar to finish before Telford, cos I seem to remember promising it for a table of 100 great British aircraft Better get a move on! I'll put my Valiant into this GB though... it's about time I finished it before Airfix announce one for 2009 Link to post Share on other sites

dswoofie 13 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Just a quick update on this GB... Your moderators for this one will be myself and desmojen. Any questions on it, then feel free to ask either of us. Hopfully I'll get the sub-forums set up soon, and we'll start getting things rolling ready for the 1st November! Karl.

Thundergrunt 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have a 1/48 P-47D i could finish up. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 27 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Great GB idea! I've got a Fujimi 1/72 FG.1 that is shaming me from the top of the wardrobe. Link to post Share on other sites

Bandwagon 106 11 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 How far advanced is allowed Karl? For example, I have a Phantom which just needs stencils, canopy and missiles adding to it to finish it. The skyhawks I want to do are built up and wanting painting to complete.

Mentalguru 4 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Maybe this would be a good place to put the Buffalo, there's really not that much to do to it- just... you know... Link to post Share on other sites

I think Karl's intention is that you use this GB to complete any project, irrespective of it's current state, even simply canopy, stencils and missiles. peebeep Link to post Share on other sites
