Arniec Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, I think I will change my entry. Instead of the F-8 Crusader. I will now do a 1/48 Hasegawa A-4F Skyhawk in Blue Angels colours. I know that there is a specialised A-4 GB but that will start for me to late, because I want to have it ready for telford and I have got already some other project for Telford as well. The kit is already started, but the only thing that is Glued is the wing. I have also done some kleaning up for a resin Aires cockpit. I hope that this is in the 25% started limit.

Cheers, Arnold, thats fine by me. cleaning doesnt count (in my opinion any way) and wings together isnt a biggie (well it is cos I always mess it up but you know what I mean) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm spoilt for choice on this one. I've got the Academy Phantom as I've said, but this morning I had a Hasegawa 1/48 F-4S come through the door as well as some Furball Aero-Design decals for the Academy Phantom. Arrrrgh the decisions!

theplasticsurgeon Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Just checked my stash - over 20 possibilities. Most likely a Hasegawa S3 Viking costing me a whole pound back in 1999. I recently bought Bi-centennial decals for it on Ebay. Following a stash-dig of archaeological proportions, I now have in my hand a Hasegawa S-3A Viking. Bought at SMW Telford - the second show, this is one of the cheap kits that IPMS Avon were sold me for a whole pound. I've got decals for the white Bi Centennial aircraft, and operational decals to freshen up my Airfix model - built in 1976ish. Bring it on.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 S-3A Viking. I've got... operational decals to freshen up my Airfix model - built in 1976ish. I have one of those in The Stash. It was seriously considered for this GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Neu- Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Once I finish the CF-18s I'd like to participate in this. I've got a ton of kits in the stash I want to finish. The big four are: Special Hobby SBU Vindicator (the older one, not the newly release one.) Hasegawa SBD-3 Dauntless (With eduard cockpit and flaps PE) Hasegawa F-11 Tiger (early nose version) Monogram F8F Bearcat (with tons of extras) Most of those are just under 25% started... interior painted some small assemblies done. After that I have a lot of other kits in the stash: Hobbycraft F2H Banshee. Valom X8FB-1 Hasegawa Skyraider MPM Dark Shark. What I might do is to focus on aircraft from the early post war era.
