Heather Kay Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I’m away for a few days, so I’m not going to be able to start anything until well into the first week. This is not helping my styrene solvent addiction. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 dam you Pat!!! @JOCKNEY I had no plans what so ever to join this but have been tiding up and for a terrible trio I bought in a moment of madness sometime back. Think I paid only a couple of dollars for them: Bf-109F (1976??) P-38J/L Lightning (1967) Avenger II (1973) no AM malarkey for them, straight OOB, hopefully the decals are still ok, they didn't look to bad. Will get a thread up a bit later...no rush. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well it's T minus 7 hours over here and it's all set up to be a yet another huge Classic kit GB. I have just adjusted the Build List and we are now sitting at a mammoth 54 builds!! - so thanks to all of you for declaring your Frog projects nice and early, I'm sure all this Frog talk has raised the exitement levels even higher and will provide plenty of motivation to help each of us get through when (as we know) things get tough. So now its time to clear the benches, insert that new Xacto blade and enjoy everything that we all love about FROG kits. Cheers and I wish each and every one of you a happy, humourous and successful Britmodeller Group Build... Dave P.S - So who's gonna be the first in the Gallery? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for once not me Dave,I'm determined to take my time and spread the build's out over the GB one at a time,the Sabre and Canberra have been dispatched should be here tomorrow so I'll have a look but probably start with the Maryland I've been fondling the sprue's and getting into the mindset😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hi Paul The Whitley will be a very welcome addition to this historic Group Build. Least we forget that until recently if you wanted a Whitley this was the only one to go for. Have you decided on which Service, Bomber Command or Coastal Command ? cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 A quick inventory of the stash has revealed that I have quite a few 'FROG' kits, mostly released via Eastern Express or other companies. Astounding. I have a Spitfire Mk.1 I may have to add to my build list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Beginning to wish I hadn't rashly added another 2 - got to the 50 anyway Dave. Oh well, I better keep taking the blood pressure medicine. Nice to see so many different kits including 3 versions of the Spit. Good luck everybody - what have we let ourselves into! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Depending on where you are on our wonderful planet, here in Blighty we have just under 3 hours to go.... And yes I'm very excited ! This Group Build is going to be really special. If you are reading this and haven't joined PLEASE DO SO. I promise a very warm welcome and lots of encouragement along the way. Good luck everyone ! cheers Pat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Don't worry Pete. All you have to do is get one done and you can say you have completed your commitment. Any more is a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Greg, The only problem at the moment is that if we continue to get entries at this rate, I will be spending so much time checking them all that I won't have time to build the ruddy kits. I was only (partially) joking - should get at least 4 done barring unforseen circumstances - again "famous last words"! Pete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjwomack Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 By my reckoning, it's been the first of June for several hours in some parts of the globe and still nothing posted in the gallery!!! I might yet be in with a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smack together the V1 flying bomb and put it in the gallery and follow up later with the Spitfire XIV Edited May 31, 2019 by SAU 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAU Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've got this glue bomb as a "gift" and it has been in my stash since 2005 and I've never got to bin it as it might be possible to rescue it by Jan H, auf Flickr It's one of the F-numbers that's not in the list yet F417 Frog packed by Revell as a Matchbox and it's over 25%. Tube glued and I won't try to "mend it with a hammer" to divide it into smaller pieces Parts missing but it's possible to build a B-2 and rebuild an improved cockpit by copying the interior parts of my Dragon Ar 234 Is it OK to put it in a build thread? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
