helios16v Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This is another one that is going to be here too quickly. Guess I'd best be figuring out what the hell I'm going to build..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat When is it not an opportunity to add to it? Lord knows I don't have any issues there.....despite trying to not add any more until I get some built. But no, it'll end up being either a Lynx (Germany or Denmark), Sea King (USN), or Cobra (US Army). I'll probably go rifle through the boxes once the date gets a bit closer and see if any call out to me more than the others. Likely the Lynx or Sea King. Oh yeah.....then there is the stack of Harriers. I keep forgetting those are included here now. And no, I'm not building them all. I've got a 1/32 B-25 that needs to get off the ground soon (deadline at the end of the year) for a 10th anniversary build at another site. That one scares me a bit. It's not my usual scale or era.....stepping way out of my box. I hope I don't get lost. Edited May 27, 2020 by helios16v 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Because I built the Mach2 York for another GB, I have decided that I am some sort of masochist and so as well as the Dragonfly, I have unearthed the Extratech Alouette II with its mix of PE, resin and vacform to build as a British Army machine. Might get the new decal sheet from Air Graphic, although it seems a bit pricey, has anyone any experience of Air Graphic decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis25049 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I haven't made a whirlybird yet, but have a few in my stash I've been wanting to attack. Please add me to the GB, I'll contribute with a 1/72 Black Hawk in RAAF Aircraft Research and Development Unit livery. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit despite being foolish enough to host this GB, my own helicopter builds are very scarce so this GB is the perfect opportunity to correct that. cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halcyonjet Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello, if there is room for another entry, I would love to join in with a Heller Ecureuil (Squirrel). I can't remember the last time I built a helicopter, but this Squirrel has been on my to-do list for way too long! Halcyonjet (Dave) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I'm now thinking I may have to downgrade my 1/48th MH-60L build to a wee MH-6J!! Moving/time/new work project look like they're going to eat up lots of time...plus a 1/32nd Skyraider may keep me busy as well. The Little Bird will be one of the Mogadishu Gunships...though I do have the figure to go with it.....if I could do figures I'd have the AH-6 with the dudes riding the boards on the side!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 New wrench in the plans..... So whilst digging through my helo/stovl stash I noticed my AV-8B+ did not have any decals (bought second-hand from a hobby store yard sale on the cheap). With the different nose, it would've been a bit far fetched to use a spare set from my Eduard GR.7/GR.9 boxings so went poking around ebay to see what kind of options might be available. I was not aware of the B+ being utilized outside of the USMC (I'll admit to not being very well versed on Harrier operators), so I was surprised when I came across a set of Italian Navy decals. Now that's a bit unique. And the price was pretty fair too ($13 shipped). Sold. So hopefully those will arrive this week and I can ascertain the actual condition of the decals. Decisions, decisions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirly Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hello Pat, I see this GB approaching and I suddenly noticed I didn't join the party yet! So here I am, with too many helicopters in the stash and some other long in the building process: this is a good opportunity to at least finish something. Let's see what I could tackle (all 1/72): 1) Agusta Bell AB47J converted from the Italeri H-13. Have to check how the current status convers in completion percentage. 2) Westland Whirlwind HAR.4 based on the Italeri SH-19. I remember problems with the engine grilles.... 3) Mitsubishi (Sikorsky) S62J from the Whirlybird kit I started during the Helicopter Group Build III 4) since I intended to build at least a second subject in the CH-46 / KV-107 STGB but never succeeded, I could make a second attempt at a very early Labrador with fluorescent red tail. Ok, these are my good intentions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi @Whirly Delighted to have you with us. The host is very flexible with the 25% started rule as he likes to see as many kits being built and finished in a GB as possible ! Good luck with whatever you choose to build.

Harry_the_Spider Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'll join with a Revell Osprey! I've just posted a WIP, but I'll put it back in the box for three weeks and go and look in the stash for something else in the meantime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I have a nice 1/48 mil Hind sitting in the stash, so count me in. Edited June 6, 2020 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello, A question to the GB host @JOCKNEY Would the following build be acceptable as an entry? It was started four years ago but it's still in the initial stages. I've just done some work on the cockpit. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi Jaime Absolutely you still have lots to do, and I am always keen on using GBs as an opportunity for people to finish their builds if they are applicable. Its not long now, I'll need to get organised ! cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
