trickyrich Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 ok people we need some move votes...or you need to move some votes around! We're right on the cusp of getting into the top 7, so keep those votes coming!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Hockey Propellers Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Did someone mention Vietnam? I just voted. If it's the Navy, it's the Navy in Vietnam! Believe it or not, I was just about to start a topic asking about the most representative US Navy ships to fight in Vietnam and their best scale models. I searched "vietnam" and "ship" and found this post. Should I start such post anyway? So far I can only find Tamiya's 1/350 carrier, New Jersey, and 1/35 PBR. As you can see, I'm making a Vietnam collection and once I finish all those aircraft, I will build the M48, the M113 and a ship. Other Vietnam models I will build over the years unhurriedly. And yes, I know, the A-7 and F-5 in my collection are not Vietnam examples but they're close enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 very nice collection! I hope you voted for the Vietnam GB as well? There's no harm in raising that question at all, there's bound to be members who will know all the models available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 If this gets through the carnage, I plan to build the new Airfix Mig-17 in the boxtop scheme, together with an F-4J as Showtime 100. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 That reminds me I now have a F-4J used by VF-31 that would be eligible as well.....but I'll probably stay with the Skyraider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been watching a movie called "Close Danger - The Battle of Long Tan"! Gosh what a movie! I don't know much about this action, it was pretty intense! I do know that I had a course Corporal (during recruits) who was a door gunner in Iroquois during this engagement, had some amazing stories!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Long_Tan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 ....and we made it folks, we just scraped in, though for a while it was really touch and go!!! I can't 100% confirm the date for now but I did ask Enzo Chi Minh for that slot. I've got my build sorted and a backup if I'm having time issues...actually I have a couple of backup plans. This should be a good GB so start planning you builds as 9 months will go by pretty quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 This is a 'go' for me too. Helicopters, airplanes...it'll probably be the First Indochina war...all that surplus stuff flown by the French... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of interesting subject that'll be awesome rather than just the usual stuff from the Vietnam war era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almac Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Morning all. I’m in for this GB with a 1/72 ESCI F-5 Skoshi Tiger. As far as I know the USAF decals in the kit depict one of the aircraft flown in Vietnam. Cheers Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Count me in ... Now, what to build? Ideally, I'd like to tackle the mighty Italeri AC-119K Stinger, but the logistics might not allow it. In plain English, I'm not sure I'll have the time or the space. We shall see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 @klr Well, that would be pretty awesome build I have couple builds lined up - F-14A Tomcat, EA-6B Prowler - and a Vigilante too, but that I will be doing 'In The Navy' GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
