P-51(Allison) North Africa, Academy 1/72 - non starter


Recommended Posts

Well I had a dilemma:

10-D2196-E-2604-4-FEF-A5-B7-AB148163-D11
The P-38 is an obvious candidate by sheer force of nominative determinism. However, last Blitzbuild, I managed to complete an Academy Thunderbolt in a day but the He-70 Blitz failed to make the deadline.

 

The Airfix kit is a twin, needs quite a bit of modernising and looks like a stretch for 24 hours. So no.

 

The Academy kit should go together nicely OOB, if it’s anything like Academy kits I’ve built previously, and has a relatively simple colour scheme. So I’m in, probably in two sessions starting tomorrow.

Sadly I’m going to sit this one out. I’ve spent too long this weekend with my less than a tenner build, I’ve got some car stuff (wiper blades) to sort out, I’ve got a ton of work on (including a remote session tomorrow evening) and I’ve got more builds going on than I know what to do with. So all power to your elbows, but I’m out :(

 

Regards,

Adrian

Sorry to hear that Adrian 

As I look at my many concurrent builds, I believe you are doing the right thing, but some of us refuse to admit they have a problem until it gets unresolvable, which is definitely where I am going at the moment  ! :lalala:

Cheers Pat

Shame Adrian but I'm in agreement with Pat,my bench is littered with half finished kit's I'm in a muddle over what is taking my interest

and as a result nothing getting completed I'm going to struggle with this GB with only a few hours to go.

Adrian,

 

I feel your pain, and Steve. I've abandoned also. For the same reasons. Life and other groupbuilds.

 

See you in August. Planning starting now!
