Oh well I've been held responsible for far worse things than inspiring a purchase or two. It does look a nice kit Rich, any idea what scheme you will be doing it? We do have a very nice range of subjects, and far more of the less well know types than I would have thought. Maybe an F-8 or A-7 will be along later. A Pibber would be a great topic too. I did also consider an A-7 but for some reason nothing was really inspiring me there. =( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are though missing some stuff from the water.....a "Pibber's" and such from the rivers would be nice to see, I know there are some nice models out there.....plus what about some of the big "blue water" stuff...carriers! With aviation there are a couple of surprise omissions so far (they maybe on the way???), F-8 Crusader.......the "SLUF" A-7 Corsair...... even a Skyhawk!!! I can't put my hand up for any of these as the stash is bare of them.......plus I'm trying (and failing ) to avoid evilBay for the moment! I'm actually a bit shocked on the lack of Scooters. I figured for sure we'd have a lot of F-4s and A-4s. I had originally planned an Eduard A-4, but figured It'd be a common entry so shifted to the OV-1B. I do have a started Crusader that may make an appearance later on as a WIP if I manage to get ahead on some projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I thought I'd ask about something in here where all youse knowledgeable people are. Last week I was watching an episode of the A-Team. Season 4; 'There Goes The Neighborhood' In one scene the head of the neighborhood watch shows Hannibal and Murdock his armoured car. Hannibal called it, I think I heard, a Lynx and said they used them in Vietnam. What I saw was a Ferret Scout Car Wiki says the US Army got 10 Daimler Dingoes for use in Vietnam but no mention of Ferrets Below is the best picture I can find showing the a/c in the A-Team show. I reckon, as that show plays loose with facts, that they used a Ferret and said it was a Dingo/Lynx. Almost all the viewers wouldn't know the difference. Any more info about the US Army using the Dingo in Vietnam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sorry if I can't visit everyones updates at the moment, I'm currently away with work in central Australia....well almost. I'm trying to catch up with all the progress, but it may take a while! There are some awesome builds already and we're not even a week in yet!! Keep up all the great work, and keep all those new builds coming! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 What was it Rich always says? Something about modelling life being the only life, something, something, something. Oh wait I know what it is! He needs a little extra scratch for all those Z-M long nose Phantoms that are releasing soon. So enlight of the expedition to fund an ever-increasing Phantom stash I suppose I can let this temporary absence slide. A little bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave You are more than welcome to join in Dave, especially as it looks like this will be your first GB. I think the OA-4M was too late for service in Vietnam, the USMC did use two seat A-4's for fast FAC work but they were earlier models. What is the other kit you have?

Dave Thanks for making us your first GB Dave, be warned though as they are addictive! There is always space for another Huey in this GB, you can never have too many of them in my book. The Monogram kit is a classic, I built one about 33 years ago! feel free to start a build thread when you're ready, there will be plenty along to offer any help or advice should you need it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
