With all the free time between those GB's you could at least fit in a couple more and still have a relaxing time. Remember sleep is an option here! well, I could find more, only I don't have money nor time to do them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 along with sleep another thing that hampers model building! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Sleep/real life/no funds are the true hazards of a modelling hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 now there's a nasty cycle, to build models you need to work, but working results in less modelling time, but with out it no models......... I really need to win lotto! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Armour Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Now I have an even larger problem. I'm signed up for 9 Group Builds, so no problem here. At least there spread out over a few years! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the replacement cockpit and metal parts will make that areas easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Considering bringing a late contribution to this Group Build: presumably an AH-64A Apache fits quite easily in the Anti Tank category ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Does a night fighter have to be a specially built one like the P-61 or would a C.V. Corsair F4U-5N night fighter be acceptable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Should be good as that variant is a night fighter specific design, not just a normal fighter utilized at night. Cool plane, I had actually forgotten about that variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many of the best night fighters started out in other roles the F4U-5N is as acceptable as the Defiant, Blenheim, Me.110 etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 as what Col said, and this goes for the other groups in the build. It doesn't have to have been designed as a specialist role aircraft (or vehicle), it could have been converted into or just ended up being used in that particular role. I would say that the Mosquito, Beaufighter, Bf-110 and Ju-88, are good examples of classic aircraft designs that ended up in very specialised roles not envisioned when they were first designed/built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeline Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Permission to come aboard with 1/72 PAH-2 Tiger? This is the early type without machine gun on it's chin, so I guess it's a pure anti tank...? Cheers, Mario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Lifeline welcome aboard, it's nice to see another chopper in the mix, I thin k it'll be fine in the Tank Killer group 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 well we're at the 1/2 way mark for this GB, I know scary thought for most of us! It's great to see we have 73 build threads so far, some wth multiple builds as well, great job everyone. All themes seem to be popular, though we could do with a few more AFV's. It's also nice to see we already have 8 builds completed and in the gallery already, great job to those there, and I do know there a a few builds very close to joining them as well (pleased to say I'm in that group for a change). So keep up the great work everyone, there's still plenty of time to complete your build....or for those watching to join in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 With the Chinook STGB and all the whirlybird chatter that was going in here, I keep looking at the Lynx hiding in the stash longingly as by coincidence one of the configurations is in the anti-ship role for the Royal Navy. But sadly I know there is no way I'd be able to get it built in time with how busy my June is going to be. So I need to just focus on getting the RF-4 off the bench and hopefully a bit further on the Vigi...I'll be content w/ that. On the flip side, all the mini-road trips are going to be awesome. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way a Chinook is a Sea Knight, I see we need to educate some of you "helicopterally challenged" folks out there. And besides I'm running that GB!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeline Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Errr.... Is there any more spot for (another) Black Widow?
