PeterB Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Well I guess that takes the pressure off a bit - I will have think about my Do17Z though perhaps I should just get the blasted wall done - the weather has put us off of late but it is getting on my nerves now and I need to finish the blasted thing - 3 good dry days should do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 That's a bonus I was going to be rushing to finish by next week, but now I've got a bit more time to waste before I need to rush 😂 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad's did, (though it was an Austin). 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Ladies & Gentlemen of the Frog Squad GB Fraternity can I ask a favour. I am in a quandary with which build to try to complete before this GB ends, I have a Renzan and an Avenger, I believe it's possible to finish one but unlikely to be able to do both, @stevej60 I'm not ! So my question is which one do I build ? Therefore just for fun, we shall have a "Build Ballot" tell me which one you would like to see built and at midnight UK time tomorrow night the polls close and I shall build (hope to finish) the one with the most votes. Current Poll Result Renzan 2 - Avenger 1 cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Pat, The FROG GB continues to educate me, I'd never heard of the Renzan (Japanese four engined bomber - I googled it!). and Bob does have a point, 8 minutes ago, Retired Bob said: The Renzan will be a lot of work On the other hand, a straightforward paint job? Must be a rare beast, judging by the eBay price (only one - £75!) and it looks so interesting! So I'll vote for the Renzan. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I'll keep score in the previous post ! 1 - 1 so far ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Pat, as the GB Host ‘Ashes’ are on the line it only makes sense to slow you down. Therefore I’m praying for more rain and voting for the lovely Rita! Plus we’ve got an Avenger being built elsewhere have we not? (I should know shouldn’t I) Cheers..

PeterB Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Hi Pat, Tricky one. I would say Renzan because there is theoretically another Avenger on the list, though given Rich's problems we may not see it after all. Also I have never seen a Renzan built. However, only you know how much time you are likely to have available. Clearly the Renzan should take longer, though maybe not that much as although it is a bigger kit, being Hasefrog it might go together more easily. Incidentally, have you now sorted out replacement transparencies for the Avenger? Pete Edited September 4, 2019 by PeterB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hi Pete Yes I found I had an academy Avenger in the stash with the right clear parts, so I'm all good, thanks. cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It would be great to see the Avenger Pat especially given the size of the Reznan and work needed maybe save it for a long overdue Made in Japan GB,now there's a thing that'll bring all the genres together,I spent twenty years riding the damn thing's but never modelled a motor bike since the old Airfix kits waaaay back,Cars,Aircraft,ships we could even let the sci-fi/figure members out the cupboard,but I digress,Avenger........... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to see that built since not done so far in this GB and certainly very few builds recorded at all if you go searching on the web. No need to go mad on the internals, just do it OOB. Good luck. Mike Edited September 5, 2019 by Ventora3300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 My vote for the Avenger! My vote for the Made in Japan GB too! See, I´m getting back on-line! There´s a set of MAV decals for a SAAF Marauder (and a Kittyhawk and a Boston) on their way from South Africa to Finland. They are for a Marauder Mk.III but I´ve determined the Frog Marauder kit to be so inaccurate that it can represent any mark of the plane .

Redstaff Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 At the end of the day it's your choice and you know your time constraints Pat. I'd love to see the Reznan built, but if it's going to be too much work go with the avenger Either one is another towards the end count Made in Japan GB sounds interesting though Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Floatplanes GB as well as life outside of BM, it should be what you are comfortable with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
