The markings are correct for SEA camo. So i will just stick with that. I was just curious if i could go with the Euro scheme as an option. Thank you for the response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Thanks Basilisk! This will be what I’m going to go with for this GB, US Coast Guard HH-65 in fetching orange scheme. Just need to buy one now. Hopefully be one at Scottish Nationals show next week where I’ll also get all the required paints, if not there’s one of these models at Hannants.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a couple A-7Ds (1/48th Hasegawa) that I believe have the Euro1 scheme. I'll have to double check the instructions and condition of the decals. They are kits I've picked up over the past couple years at model shows, so I'm not sure if the decals are even usable off the top of my head (been a while since I've looked at them).

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Fujimi 1/72nd, but Thank you for asking though. Id love to get a Hasegawa 1/48th A-7D. I had one many years ago (88-89), that languished on the shelf of doom. I messed up the cockpit so horribly and to the point it just wasn't fixable. It eventually went to the great recycler in the sky. Now they're 3 times as expensive and rare as 🦄💩. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my kits I've nabbed for $15-20 each. I know the few times I've looked on evilBay they seem to run 2-3x that. One of those might be a front running option for this GB if I have time. Hmmm. 🤔 Edited April 17, 2019 by helios16v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Ohh, missed this. I’ve got two sharks from aussie-land in the box-o-kits: one AZ model P-40 Darwin defender and the Eduard Aussie Eight pack. Now the itch in the fingers came back again. Hope it isn’t too late to join the fray.🦈 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Well for once I'm ready for this to kick off. I couldn't find a Ball from Gundam 08th MS Team, but I have managed to find something something else that might get more attention. I'll probably get lynched for it however by the rivet counters.

Beazer Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I will be adding my stepson to this as well unofficially. Would it be permissible to have him entered under my name?

zebra Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I’ll be joining in in a couple of weeks with a 1/48 F-105G and maybe a Neptune. Don’t have the F-105G yet but I found the Hobby Boss kit at a reasonable price online the other day and I should have it in a few days. I’ve got some aftermarket on its way to me as well including Caracal decals for a shark-mouthed Thud and also some decals for a Neptune with shark mouths on the booster engine pods. The Neptune might be left until a little later though as I have a Hunter to finish, just started the Voodoo and I want to get cracking on something for the Lockheed GB (probably an F-104 - all of a sudden I seem to have a century series thing going on!). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you didn't look hard enough as the model world is full of sharkmouth on aircraft. But a French Super Sabre would be sweet. 13 hours ago, trickyrich said: woohoo the the thread is open!!!

We purchased a Kamov Hokum Black Shark in 1:72 Scale from Special Hobby. Of course can you start a WIP of a build your stepson is doing under your name. Always good to see some youngsters participating (assuming that your stepson is from a younger generation). 10 hours ago, zebra said: I’ll be joining in in a couple of weeks with a 1/48 F-105G and maybe a Neptune.

Dazzio Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I was just wondering how far can you push the teeth idea? Looking at my stash, I have a few F-14's/VF-0/1's with the jolly roger on it that displays it's teeth. I also have a few tigermeet meet schemes that show teeth/fangs as well. Not that I will be enterting with anything else at this point as my TSR-2 will keep me busy for a while yet. Kind Regards, Dazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) I didn't pay much attention to this GB at first, as I WAS of the opinion that shark mouths only belong on P-40s, and I've built enough of those in the last few years. But I picked up Encore's boxing of the Academy A-37 which includes a Dominican bird with a really gnarly looking set of dientes. Estoy corregido. I also can pass up the chance to build something with Latin American markings. Edited May 13, 2019 by SoftScience 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I am tempted to join, though at the moment I have too much else on the bench. We have till September so I may jump in later. This would be my possible entry. Some scratch building would be required to the base kit for the exterior protrusions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
