A fine plan for a navy GB! 12 hours ago, almac said: Morning all. I'm in for this one. I've got so many Navy aircraft, mostly US with some FAA, to chose from. Would a US Marines A-4m count as I've just bought a Hobby2000 fujimi rebox I can't wait to start. Cheers Allan US Marines definitely count so bring your A-4M along! Welcome aboard.

danielwood5 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Can I put myself down for this build? I'm pretty certain I've got a Sea Balliol in the the loft that I've been too scared to make a start on. If I can't find that one I've got a few other options that would fit this GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't finished my Stuka, Im all in several Nordic builds that are far from finished... and have couple Navy builds lined up. If everything fails some of them can be moved to Vietnam, but I need to do atleast one 'Navy'.

I always try my best with GB’s but I think the point is to get people building or interested in different subjects.... but maybe not finish them all! i hope you find time to start something you might not finish with the Navy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 With less than two weeks to the start, I have finally made a decision on my entry. I am going with Tamiya's 1/48 Skyray & Skyraider. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Ive decided to ho with a Fujimi Vought Cutlass. It was reboxed by Testor’s in the late 80’s but it is Fujimi. The kit markings of VF-124 will be my backup I'm going to try to do a VA-12 plane or VF/VA-83 as another back-up.

PeterB Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have the Fujimi boxing of the F7U- M which was one of my candidates for this GB, but at the moment it looks like my entries will be the Hasegawa 1/72 EKA-3B Skywarrior and perhaps the Emhar F3H-N or M. Depending on how my entry for the Lancaster STGB goes, I may have time for more. I will start a thread once the GB becomes live, presumably this weekend?

Never seen one of these so glad your building it! P.s. any sign of the decals yet?

Pete Naaah sack off the Lancaster, they weren’t that important, don’t ever look nice, build more navy! (I joke, I have two lanc’s I want to build such a beautiful graceful aircraft!) look forward to your choices going into the GB! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Well kit number two "acquired" for this GB so that's the Matchbox Sea Fox and now Curtis Hell diver (bi-plane) coming from me if all goes well I hope to round it up to three. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worms Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'm seriously stuck here....I have Airfix kits of; HMS King George V...large and very detailed with etch but supposed to be a nice build, HMS Nelson with etch which I wish to convert to HMS Rodney....might take too much work...HMS Suffolk that I wish to convert to HMS Dorsetshire ( have sourced atch but not bought it yet otherwise same as Rodney/Nelson), HMS Ajax, and I'm saving that until I have the PE, HMS Ark Royal ditto Ajax plus, I've only had one go at a ship in recent decades and it was relatively simple... Is KGV a reliable build as regards reasonable accuracy and fit or is it a definite "seriously experienced ship modeller" kit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 All I know is I want to start another tomcat. Hopefully building to a gb deadline will spur me and help focus instead of dabbling with so many all at once. Which kit to start and then which scheme to choose is the main thing I’m struggling with. 1st world problems hey! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that scheme has been done loads so not for me. Speaking of vf111, Just took delivery of the 1/72 Furball sundowners anthology and some more new academy 72nd kits. Watch this space...
