PaulR Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Evening all, was pondering a possible theme for a GB. It often strikes me the most successful GBs are ones which allow a wide range of types and/or colour schemes. Equally, finding an engaging theme that ties them all together can sometimes be a challenge. So... what about a sharkmouth GB? Anything that has (in real life) sported a sharkmouth as part of its markings. Probably one for the aeroplane builders, but I do seem to recall a sherman with a sharkmouth! An absolutely wide range of possible types, eras, camo schemes; what do people think? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'll definitely be interested. I previously had a nice collection of sharkmouth planes and been meaning to start building them again. There was a Sherman with a sharkmouth as I recall seeing the artwork for a Dragon kit. I recall also seeing one painted on a Vietnam era hovercraft although I can't remember seeing one in kit form.

What else can people think of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkmouth Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Academy's LVTP-7 APC kit has a shark mouth option from Korea, iirc. Hobby Boss' kit also includes the Korean Marines marking/ AirCam did a softcover book on this long long ago....... PM Patrick, Aicam did two books on sharkmouth schemes. I have over 3000 images of sharkmouth vehicles. I've started too many kits, all with sharkmouth schemes, this year as it was my New Year's resolution. While I may not participate, I'll be glad to offer images and (if I can spare them) decals to participants. Obviously, I'd like to see this GB take off!
