Both of these sound really cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalbert Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 As usual I am wanting to join most of the GBs, but as it stands here is the current list (all 1/72 unless stated): Scandinavian - Revell (Hasegawa) Draken In the Navy - Airfix Sea Fury 1/48 Lancaster - Revell Dambusters Lanc Kit you Built as a Kid - Matchbox Mosquito Buccaneer - CMR S2A Corsair - Italeri F4U-4B BoB - TBD He111 - Airfix P2 Tornado - Hasegawa (Desert Storm) Heller - Mirage III Interceptor - Zvezda Mig-31 I didn't expect all if these to be in one year so some may have to fall by the wayside, but hopefully I will not have a repeat of this year in my personal circumstances. Whatever happens i should make a dent in my stash 😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just noticed a schoolboy error of epic proportions with the above build list... The Scandinavian GB, Navy GB and Lancaster STGB, all occur at the same time ! Nothing like starting off on the wrong foot is there Cheers Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) These things are a bit addictive, aren't they? I'm signed up for the P51 GB currently underway. One entry has just doubled itself and there's a few more I would like to think might get a look in, we shall see. The Lancaster GB, the Battle of Britain and the Classic Heller kit GB's all have entries lined up and waiting. The Helicopter/Autogyro GB could be a way of bringing Little Nellie out to play, an Airfix re-release needs building and this is the perfect opportunity. The Kit you built as a Kid GB is also right up my street, you just try keeping me out! That lot should keep me happy enough for a year. 😁 Tony.

Valkyrie Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Looking at all the STGB and GBs I calculate that I will be reducing the stash by roughly 21 kits over the ones I am involved in. I built 16 last year....is this a good or bad build rate, stash clearance (For more purchases)? I love the build 1 buy 5 ratio lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I've worked out that at a modest, but sustainable, rate of building and not too much red meat, my stash should see me through to about 2173. Years, not the 24 hour clock. Tony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 My planned contributions to this years GBs... Scandinavian GB - BT-42 T-34 GB - T-34/37 flak Panther GB - 12.8cm Scorpion or 5.5cm Flakpanther I noticed that the Battle of Britain & the He-111 GBs are running at the same time, which seams a bit redundant as most of the He-111 builds could probably be included in the BoB GB 😅 Hopefully the He-111 GB will be filled with lots of unusual pre-war variants, or a late-war V1 carriers etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Will be interesting to follow everybody’s work! Personally I’ll be happy if I can complete 4-5 builds this year, which very well all could be GB’s. Scandinavian - Royal Danish Navy Westland Lynx MK.90 In the Navy - US Navy, MH-53E Sea Dragon Helicopter - US Army, CH-47A Chinook Tornado - RAF, Tornado GR.1 Gulf War 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
