Recommended Posts

Great fellas, you're all added to the list. 👍

Loving the Italeri markings too.

Here's some more eye candy - Plenty of fun opportunities to weather the corsairs particularly.

Unless I am very much mistaken (often the case these days), as we now have 25 signed up for this does that mean we have reached the numbers required for an STGB to make it to the Bunfight?

 

🇺🇦

 @Enzo Matrix questioned the viablility of it being an stgb craig. Enzo does this dtgb need a full 30?

and if so is it then categorized as a full theme regular gb with timelines etc

We resolved that issue.  It's in The Bunfight.  I just neglected to move it to the right area...   :wall:

Excellent news!

Now just need to get it through the Bunfight and decide which aircraft to build.

 

🇺🇦

 

looking at the sheer number this time around, it's going to be sheer bloodshed!!

 

Way too many GB/STGB's for the available spots.... will make the Zombie apocalypse look like a waiting in a line at Disneyland to see a Mickey Mouse show!!!  :rofl2:

I might buy a corsair:

if this gb doesnt get through i can do it as a relic or wreck,

weathered,

in a desert scheme,

or southeren europe scheme

or an ace's ride -

therefore making it eligible in a lot of current bunfight proposals 🤣

Just started counting, so far there are 8 STGB's for 7 slots, no so bad.

 

But for GB's 31 so far for 5-6 slots!!!!!  :yikes:  There's going to be some very sad members come the 16th of November!

Hasegawa's 1/48 F-8E re-issue due end August on pre-order with Japan's Hobby Search. Stack of Aires resin on the way from European suppliers. Furball decals also on the way. Still looking to pull the trigger on Wolfpack's air speed brake set. Hopefully the GB will get up. But, not to worry a favourite subject and one I have been wanting to do for some time.

I just bought this at Fairford - count me in please.

And this at IPMS Avon show today.

Which shows that this kit has engraving for double slats of the F-8J or the F-8E(FN).  And I've built it before, and scalped the slats (incompletely) and flaps.

The new Heller build could well be French.

Double in.

When will we get approval for this group build? I'm anxious to spend countless hours on the Anigrand Crusader III.

 

Cheers,

Sorry Bill we need to have the annual Bunfight (vote) the first two weeks of November. If we get in the top 5-7 group builds then we can get dates for next year. Every member will be allowed to vote.
