At least there are two sane people in this thread...🤪 I have found a Revell hawker Hunter F.Mk.6. Scalemates says it is new as of 2005. That is too new to be 'classic' isn't it? 14 minutes ago, klr said: Is there an exact cut-off date agreed yet? I saw mid-80s mentioned in the opening post, but the exact date would certainly affect whether some of my kits were in or out. Hi John and Kir Dennis has just mailed my on this very subject,Revell/Monogram merged in 1986 there is the idea of making 1989 the cut off making the last kits allowed to be thirty years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit, that knocks out my planned F-102 build. Monogram released it in 1990. Back to the drawing board 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the drawing board 😕 Sorry, Id love to see the Deuce but we need to establish a cut-off somewhere. Fortunately the rest of the century series is all good. The dates are F-100 (1980), F-101 (1985), F-104 (1978), F-105G (1982), F-105D (1985), and F-106 (1983). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the Revell boxing of the F-106, so I'm back in the game. Cheers, Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re date, if the 30 year thing is important that would give us 1991 or 1992 from next years GB date, wouldn't it? Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Taking advantage of the scope now broadening to include all 'Classic American' kit manufacturers, I'm planning on building these two sportsters from the 1960s. Cheers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Since it's seeming unlikely I'm going to get to my KUTA build, I'll likely resume my B-58 during this GB. It's probably technically over the 25% though (cockpit built minus seats, upper fuselage attached), so probably won't have an official thread but I'll share the work here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi Steve, Apologies if this has already been asked but what if it's an early tooling in a new box; does that count or does the box need to be old too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case I believe the decision is any Revell or Monogram kit first issued prior to 1986 would qualify. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 By the way, I'm planning to join in with a Revell B-17F. Originally released in 1962 & re-boxed multiple times up to 1991, which is the one I have. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I've always fancied doing one of those American trucks so might look out for a Peterbilt or Kenworth at a reasonable price 🚛 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSH Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Steve, Can you tell me if the 1/48 kit (05733) F14D Tomcat is a valid entry? I believe its based on the old Monogram 'A' kit from 1981. I acquired it a very long time ago when 'Woolies' still existed, in fact I think it may have been from the closing down sale. I understand it's a bit of a pig build wise but you never know I might be able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! Cheers, Mark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I've just realised that I have a Monogram 1/48 B-26 Marauder in the stash with a Big Ed set and other goodies to throw in. Could I join the GB with this entry please? Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Hills Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hmm, if I don’t have too much on the go then maybe I’ll build my 1/166 scale Convair Tradewind. After all it is a very pretty blue 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
