Happily, Tamiya continue to churn out much of their ancient 1/35 back catalogue, so I'll probably pick one of those..😁 D***, I don't understand what kept me only thinking of Hasegawa kits for this one . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Good morning Just a little question: I have a box of 1/72 Hobby 2000 F-4C, but everyone knows this kit is originally Hasegawa, is it possible to make it in this GB? Thank you Ettore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ettore Generally speaking in Classic group builds as long as the base kit was from the right company (Hasegawa). As well as meeting the age requirements, they are usually allowed in. Though Pat @JOCKNEY can confirm this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you rightly say, check scalemates to establish its heritage. Cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I think I've decided on my entry for this - as a kid I couldn't even dream of a big airfield diorama but now I have the various US ground equipment sets (all pre-90) and am going to do the most over-serviced early-mould F-4E you ever saw....start-carts, weapons carts, crew vans, ladders, floodlights, swarms of ground crew - just like in the pictures in the instructions! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi Pat, Can I join this one please? I didn’t get to do much building this year but could kick start with a Tamiya Honda NSR500. It’s a 2005 rebox of the 1987 tooling. Cheers. Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hi Pat, yes, I think I will join this GB. Tempting, deliciously tempting... I will go double Japanese: someone (name withheld for the moment) gave me a 1983 Fujimi B6N1 "Jill". Small, easy-looking, not to mention very good looking. The perfect candidate. Put me in please! Cheers mate. JR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Just added this in Scalemates Stash manager as "on order". A 1980 rebox should be old enough for the GB 😇 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-a12-mustang-p-51d-north-american--128604 Edit: Just moved it to "Stash" 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 How I never spotted this GB before I don't know... or I did and I have forgotten it... who knows? Anyhow count me in, I have just found an 1/700 IJN Ayanami in my stash that dates from 1972 apparently, it's 11 years older than I am! I'll build that as it is out of my comfort zone and I will see what else I have, bound to have a Gundam or 2 from that age - infact I have one from 1988 the same year my other half was born (useless info there). Now I just need to find it - Bandai Gundam Sentinel MSA-0011 (Bst) S-Gundam Booster Unit Version. I do love the Gundams from Sentinel.

vppelt68 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Something rather small from Japan, but looking at this 1980 rebox of the Classic Hasegawa quality product of the time, makes me believe the 12-year old V-P back then wouldn't have known enough to appreciate how good this kit looked like, and still does! And yes, it's still bagged! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that using Tamiya ET instead of Britfix 77 will help me avoid that. I'll try to be patient, though, and to not melt the landing gear attachments with a ton of glue, and let them harden sufficiently before setting the kit on its legs . I believe I will like this build a lot, too, the kit looks delicious! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Boater Bill Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just stumbled across this after seeing the entry in the official 2023 GB list… Am I correct in thinking that any of the Imai 1/350 scale sailing ships from the late 1970s are eligible here? (And the later Minicraft re-releases too?) -Bill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am racking my brains for stuff that I have that would fit the bill, although I am trying to keep away from aircraft for this one just to mix it up a bit. We'll see what happens when it starts, but the Ex-S is definitely on the cards, hopefully something else. Kind regards, Darren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I've decided to do this one. I have a later boxing in the stash but the sprues are the same and so I'll use the original figures and build it in its desert plumage as per the first 1976 release. Best wishes, Ian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Boater Bill Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Basic question: Does the “1990 cutoff” mean kits first released in that year are out, or are they the last ones to be eligible? As I looked through my stash, I thought the 1/72 Minicraft B-24 might qualify- so I looked it up on Scalemates, and it shows there as first released in 1990. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 1 hour ago, RC Boater Bill said: or are they the last ones to be eligible? This… The newer date usually indicates anything molded up to this year. It can be a more recent boxing of the kit. However the original release must fall before the cut-off year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
