Even though I'm likely to get a good hiding.............it's worth it!

Absolutely up for this one, just need to clear the Best of British group builds first.... and get them to Telford! Yes, I know I'm cutting it fine.....

My stash is bulging with potential FAA material, so no shortage of kits. I also voted for the Naval Group Build in the recent poll, so I'm duty bound to take part.

Now what to build.... decisions, decisions........

Cheers,

Bill.

Well the choice is: -

1/48 Airfix Sea Harrier FA2 (started rescribing wing)

1/48 Airfix Seafire FR46/47

1/48 Esci Skyraider AD4W AEW Mk1

1/48 Trumpeter Sea Hawk

I think I am in! Probably plump for the Sea Hawk and Skyraider

Unfortunately nearly finished (decalling - and lots of them!) the COLONIAL NAVY FG1 in 1/48.

I've been looking for an oportunity to tackle my Xtrakit Sea Vixen, so I'm in.

I've got some decals for a FAW.2 XP924 of 899 sqn (the one at Tangmere with the skull and crossbones) and some red tops from the spares box.

I'd like to to pick up something more strightforward as a backup, maybe an EA-6B Prowler.

You can count me in, you cannot have a Naval group build without the a member of her Majesty's Senior Service taking part.

Very good point, but typical Navy always late :tease: Windy, this thread has been running for four days, why were'nt you here on day one then :tease:

Paul, Sea Vixen & Prowler are excellent choices :yahoo:

Definately the Gazelle, with either the F4J USMC and/or a DUKW or a Buffalo. Still to be decided.

I'd like to join, but my schedule might be a bit too crowded so I'll defer final decision for a bit.

If I join, it will be a ship, either an Airfix 1/600 WW2 with some WEM details, or something from WW1 in 1/700.

Naval build eh!

Jan to April sounds like enough time and to get my current projects out of the way And a group build is a means to

an end to get my models built (I hope certainly 1 mayhaps 2)

Question is what to build???

Ship/naval vesel wise I have a RN 1/700 King George V

USMC 1/72 LVT-1 Buffalo

LCT/Sherman

Aircraft wise USN 1/40 Douglas AH-1 Skyraider (old Revell kit)

1/48 TBD-1 Devestator/SBD 3 (midway)/F2A-2 Buffalo/Vought OS2U Kingfisher/Grumman F8F Bearcat/ F 4J (VF 31)

1/72 P 3C Orion/ Martin P 5M Marlin

RN 1/72 Fairey Firefly Mk III/ Blackburn Skua/ Fairey Barracuda/Grumman Hellcat

Kreigsmarine 1/72 Arado 196

IJN E13A1 Type-Zero/Catapault (how much can be built prior to Group Build commencing?)

So I have a few (plus others I have not mentioned) question is as to what?????

I think you can count me in with something :hobbyhorse:

Regards

This GB might get me off my @rse and building models again after a little hiatus.

I have an Airfix 48th Super Etandard needing an excuse to be built, just got to pick up a Neomega cockpit set from Telford and I will be good to go.

My entry will be an Argentinean Navy machine from 2nd Escuadrilla, Puerto Belgrano, 1982 Falklands Conflict.

Cheers

Would be nice to see a sub in the GB!

Well thats settled then, only thing is, I 'hope' to get it for a christmas present, and if so I expect i'll be 'playing' with it by boxing day? Will this effectvely mean I am breaking the rules of the group build? Are we allowed to start early? It IS christmas afterall?

Some excellent additions guys, the list is really filling up nicely. Pleased to see the inclusion of a Super Etendard Dr, one of my favourite aircraft :wub:
