Thom216 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I'll have to check when I get home. I don't recall any provenance. It was in a Hobby Boss P-61 kit I bought at a hobby show a few years back. Have since gotten rid of the kit, but kept the conversion since I have a few of the Dragon kits awaiting in the stash. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a type Ive wanted to do since the 1980’s and haven't yet been able to find a source for the bits ? It had been a while since I looked at it, but there is provenance. Most of it looks pretty good - except for the canopies, which are just bad. They will need to be replaced, and that's why I bought a dental vacformer. I'll see what I can do about that. But yeah, Lone Star Models. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Oh yes please! Reconnaissance/scouting/spotting is one of my primary genres. Now I'm into my first GB, I'm confident I'll be back for more. Besides, if I keep having to type reconnaissance in my updates I'll eventually get the spelling right first keying. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceAddict Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I could be a potential entrant into this... I've got the very excellent looking ICM Bronco in my stash, but I'd never decided which markings to go with, so an Observation bird is definitely on the cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scargsy Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Wow this is going well in the polling, no idea what happens if we get into the final list, do I need to host it, how does that work? I've got plenty of stuff in my stash though so it will be a difficult choice: Lockheed SR-71, FW 189, Cessna O-2A maybe even a Spitfire in PRU pink? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo will get up with all the GB hosts that clear the hurdle to claim timeslots for next year's GB calendar. Once the dates are set it's just a matter of riding it out until a couple weeks before the date. Once that time arrives, a Recon sub-forum will be setup and you can then do the welcoming/rules post (usually pinned at the top). You can always have co-hosts as well to assist with the admin duties...I'm sure there are some here willing (if not, feel free to give me a shout...my availability tends to be a bit sporadic, so may not be the best first choice). If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll help if I can. I've not done a full host role, but was co-host for Turning Japanese a couple months ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've added you to the list, though I think it doesn't really matter as we're in the bunfight poll - if it makes it through anyone is free to join, provided the usual rules are met (less than 25% finished and a subject that fit's the brief). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuoy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'm up for this, if it makes the cut. Got an Airfix Cessna Bird Dog and Cessna O-2, plus 2 Academy Broncos (an A and a D). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 2023 could very well be the year of the Mirage. I fancy building the new Special Hobby Mirage IIICJ with one of those ludicrously weird Israeli recce noses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hey @Scargsy, congrats on getting this one through! I was planning to do a Sawn Off Daimler Scout Car (Gecko) for this build. I'm planning my calendar and overlaps with other GBs reduce my time on Recce to the point where ANYTHING by Gecko will be a bit of a rush job. Would you say that a 1918 pattern Rolls Royce armoured car is eligible? I see that you mention light tanks and the Roller is lighter than those and was, I think used well into the thirties for recon duties. I've been thinking of it as an offensive vehicle but perhaps its a scout as well? What's the word from the chief, Chief? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Dates work so I'm hoping to go with this for my first GB of 2023; armed recce, and probably the shiney ANG one on the box art. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuoy Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm probably going to join this group build with a couple of these; Then I found this in the stash; I assume this would be eligible? Two of the options are from reconnaissance units; 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Hi, I wonder if I could join in with the Reconnaissance GB? My potential builds would be a Sword 1/72 RAF Spitfire PR.IV or/and a 1/72 MAC Distribution KuK Luftfahrtruppe Phonix D.I.
