jean Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hi Steve, can you add my name with a 1/72 Monogram Boeing F4B-4? It is a 1968 kit, although my boxing is a 1973 rebox. Does this qualify? Cheers JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Hi again, just found a photo to illustrate the kit I have in mind for the GB. The rigging is likely to prove interesting. I even acquired a Yellow-Wings decal sheet for this kit, as the original decals are best forgotten. Looking forward to this GB.

CliffB Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hi @stevej60. I just wanted to ask whether there is any possibility of expanding the scope of the GB to include all classic US kit manufacturers? I have in mind Aurora, Lindberg and Pyro (I have an Aurora Triumph Spitfire kit that I'm desparate to build ). No problem if not, and either way I wouldn't want to see the GB's name changed!

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Would the 1/72 F-105 Thunderchief kit from 1958 be classic enough? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I've grown to hate most of the so called Classic Kits. Not my cup of tea. Just opened the plastic bag of a kit originating in 1962, fondled the parts and took a good look at them, sighed and tucked the box furthest back in the stash... probably never daring to start building it . But it was not a Monogram kit, so I'm looking forward to this one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Totting up my pre '86 Revell/Monogram kits last night I worked out that I have over 60 candidates for this GB, the vast majority of which are cars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small wonder then that most of these are probably sold and built in Texas, Montana and Midwest Prairie states, while here in Europe 1:72 is The Scale Probably scare you to hear that Ive built three of the Monogram (G), and one Revell (F) in 1/48 over the years. Three B-24D’s as well. Sadly none have survived to these times. I did all of them in the 80’s and 90’s.
