In principle, I still have three days to think and choose something .... if I decide. B.R. Serge Oh, I have the Mirage III V in the stash as well! Along with a few Harriers, I haven't built a early Harrier in about 30 years, might be time to change that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems I've succumbed to a heart attack and am now, for the second day, home recuperating with a brand new, triple bypass, and a bright shiny new Pacemaker installed. I'm not going to be able to make the trek down to my modeling dungeon for the foreseeable future so I'm going to respectfully bow out of this GB. Again, my apologies to all. Bloody hell Tommy. Glad you made it out the backside of that. Take 'er easy get yourself back to full up status ASAP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi Pat, after a very long soul searching, I will enter this GB with a 1/72 Esci UH-1D Huey. It will be 99 % OOB. Decals will be after-market as the original ones do not look too good. I bought this kit when it first came out... Oh, I forgot: I did start it eons ago and approx. 10% have been built already. I will post photos in a day or two. Cheers JR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airfixpeter Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I will be joining in soon I have my chosen victim's although I may not get around to building them all so I fear the harrier maybe left out. Or I just might start of simple and work my way up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Aarrgh!!! At the beginning of the week I didn't even know this GB existed, and now I Have an entry in it. Just to compound things, I got to my LMS for the first time in around 4 months yesterday and while feeling frivolous, this fell into my basket. No promises, as I have 4 other models to complete for GBs first, but if time permits I'll give this one a go too. Andy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of those where you are not fully sure if it is more caricature or real the F-35 is similarily proportioned I've had a look through the box and it's a lovely little kit. The decal sheet is huge with two Marines options, and includes all the rib detail on the top surfaces and all the canopy framing so it's as foolproof as possible.

Filler Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Although my record of group build completion stands at 0 out of 4, I rather like the vibe of this one, so I'd like to join in and start to fix that record. My choice of entries are all 1:48 helicopters. I've a Revell Chinook HC.1, Revell CH-53G and Airfix Lynx AH.7 I'm ruling out the Chinook, so it's between the other two. The Lynx I would build as an AH.1 using the Rotor Craft conversion. I've read in the other builds in the GB that it's a good kit, but there are a couple of other builds of this kit already. Plus, the colours are troubling me a bit. The black mainly. Then it's the CH-53G. A giant of a kit and probably not as good as the Airfix Lynx. Also, the decals are ancient and look pretty terrible and there does not appear to be any aftermarket option. I'll sleep on it and decide in the morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it for me to try influencing your decision but, do the Lynx! Do the Lynx! I'd love to see the AH.1 version modelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This served as a motivation for me, in the end what difference does it make, is there a complete assembly in GB or not, the main thing is to have fun.🤗 Therefore, I will probably join this GB with Mirage III V. The model is quite tedious due to the large number of repetitive details, in principle, nothing extraordinary, if not one but .... I started riveting it. 😣🤗 Thus, the tedious work, I did even more tedious 😁🤗😣... if I manage to rivet the entire model within a month, then I think I have a chance to meet the build deadlines for this GB.

John Masters Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think I must be losing it...please count me in! I have an A-Model Mi-Mil-10 coming. I figure I'll include a truck that it will carry. God knows where I'll put it when it's finished. Huge even in 1/72nd scale... --John 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Im pretty sure theres a photo of one of these slinging a mig-15 or 17. The bus or the Mig would be neat to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Mi-10K when he mounted a television tower (360 meters high) in my city, it was somewhere at the very beginning of 1980. Unfortunately, I did not see this helicopter at work, it just stood next to an unfinished television tower, probably he was a tired therefore, he needed to rest !😁 But even the Mi-10K peacefully standing on the ground made an unforgettable experience.
