Mozzy19 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 A week to go until we start! Unfortunately Paul has had to withdraw as co-host, so you'll be stuck with me... Unless some kind soul would like to help... Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I would offer but am helping with the Mustang GB. Gosh this has come around quick. Now have two Grand Phoenix FJ-4 Fury's, though I'll only be building one, sti don't know which colours scheme or if it will have missiles fitted !

gingerbob Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah- I've hardly made a decent start on the Mustang, and now I have to think about this! Luckily I did some of the groundwork (getting decals, kits, etc) before... if I can remember what I was planning then! bob p.s. Sean, if you're going it alone I'd be happy to co-host. I'm also doing so on the Mustang GB, but unless I'm not doing it right I don't think it would be hard for me to help cover both.

Mozzy19 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks Bob. I'll need to let Mish know so you can be added. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nearly there! I might have the odd kit available for this one! Each Hobbycraft/academy box has 2 kits in to ease storage! oh and the Hasegawa ones as well! There is more but its stored somewhere else!! along with an A-4 binder full of decals. I have a variety of spares if anyone is short a part or two as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Moff Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thats pure lunacy Julien......thinking about this one with a UK version.....just need to get a kit (it would appear that Julien has them all!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm planning on starting one after my holiday! Just got to decide on the subject.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'll be starting mine when I get back from my holiday. That is if I remember where I put the kit... Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I suppose people think they're supposed to start at the start date, but considering you can be up to 25%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I should be a good boy and start mine once I finish my other builds.........but I'm not!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yep, I thought we could only start 1/8 Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yep, I thought we could only start 1/8 Julien Start building yes, but it is customary to start a thread with box and sprue shots etc in preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi all, I was asked to make a banner for this GB - thanks for the request However I had some trouble as this GB covers the F-86 and the FJ-2,3,4,... variants. I post the banners in the GB banners topic as usual. I anything is not OK or should be changed please let me know here. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's in the "Future Group Builds" section, and thank you Car... err, Rene! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I'm definitely in for this one ! Just have to choose which one to build.... I've got a few options, all 1/72: - an Italian ex RAF F.4 - an ANG F-86H - an FJ-3, courtesy of the Falcon conversion - an Australian Avon engined Sabre Regarding the Australian, I've already done some work on it in the past, in particular scraping the inner fuselage halves of the Hi Planes conversion, some work in the cockpit and adjusting the intake parts. Would these allow me to enter the GB ? Have to say I'm tempted by some more unusual variant, all except the F.4 would fit quite well Edited August 4, 2014 by Giorgio N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Excellent one stop reference on F-86 wings posted by Gingerbob. I used to have something similar photocopied from a friends book many years ago but it's long gone, now I will use that one. Thanks. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi Giorgio, that doesn't sound like enough work to quibble over (how DOES one define "25%"?) Build 'em all! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi Giorgio, that doesn't sound like enough work to quibble over (how DOES one define "25%"?) Build 'em all! bob Thanks Bob, I'll see which is best to start first then ! I'm not sure I'll be able to complete more than one though, my build times lately are terribly long... maybe I should only build Hobbyboss' easy kits....

Paul J Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi All. Well, I was supposed to be here as co host....but situations on the in-law front have taken over. Both my parents are long gone but my wifes' are both poorly in different ways I won't go into detail but such is the situation that I am doing what I can in supporting my wife as much as I can in helping her parents . Her father is literally suicidal and becoming a drain on her or both of us so my hobby time has had to take a back seat . I can post occasional comments on BM during spare moments from work or on the odd occasion from home but not much time at the moment. So with sincerest apologies I am unable to take any further part in this and other GBs running currently. I had hoped to enter a couple Sabres I saved for this but..... Hope all goes well here and all the best to all entrants and Mozzy, the host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
