Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Choose one of the last gunfighters. Sorted.. Okay... I'm starting to see a plan of action here. You can never go wrong building an F-8. I'll probably go very mainstream and build Richard M Bellinger's Mig killer. Having built an F-8, there's really no excuse not to build an A-7, just to compare the two. I have decals for F-4s engaged in combat trials of cutting edge technology which would soom become commonplace on the battlefield. I might build one or the other: either an F-4C Wild Weasel or an F-4D Paveway bomber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper_city Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ooooooooooooooooooooooo me me me please, am thinking old skool either a spad or a AC47 puff the magic dragon ;-) Added. An AC-47 would be cool. I must pick up an Italeri one sometime off the bay... I haven't but I'll get one this year if one pops up.. a kit I've always fancied doing. I always wanted it so was very glad when Italeri re-released it. Okay... I'm starting to see a plan of action here. You can never go wrong building an F-8.

trickyrich Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 ok how did I miss this one!!!! I'm in, haven't got a clue, what to build, plenty of thigs grab my attention, but as usual I'll try and go for something a bit unusual! Have a soft spot for the Mig-21 at the moment...hmmm wonder why!! So a Vietnamese Mig-21PFM might be in order, but that may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper_city Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Oh dear.... The poll later this year is going be a nightmare. With all these Very Very interesting group builds which already has been purposed... I know not all has gathered 30 interested yet. But considering we are only early February...... There are quite a few out there. I would imagine a lot are being dreamt up at the beginning of the year through the heightened interest in GB's with all the recent (ish) voting and 2014 GB calender being announced. We will see a trickle of new ideas coming about as the year rolls on with a drop over the summer (less people modelling and less numbers on BM due good weather) and more of a frenzy as the end of year as voting approaches. There are some good ideas up already and I think they are hard to predict which ones will do well in the vote. GB's showing a lot of interest in the preliminary stages can be swept aside by voters who have no interest in joining but would prefer to watch another GB. Sad I know but that's what happen's. I generally like to have as broad a subject pool available to cater for as many members as possible. With BM having an A/C heavy crowd they can and will throw their weight about. Thus some cracking GB ideas that are predominantly aimed at land or sea vehicles (civilian & military) fall by the wayside through not having enough clout. We saw this last year with the voting. So if a GB can incorporate as many modelling types as possible it should theoretically gain more interest and keep the higher percentage happy. Look at limited scope GB's. They are a great idea but fall into that between space between STGB's and the large subject pool GB ideas thus unfortunately struggling to get enough numbers no matter how good and cool an idea it is.
