Enzo the Magnificent Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The F-15 50th Anniversary GB starts tomorrow. After that there are no new groupbuilds for six weeks. That should give us all plenty of chance to clear down what we are building. The next phase starts on 10 September. After that there is a new GB pretty much every two weeks until the end of the year. However... there is a Blitzbuild in the middle of the quiet patch! I starts on Saturday 27 August and finishes on Monday 29 August. So,,,, what are you gonna build? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Hmm decisions decisions. Have to choose something from the stash with low parts count and a simple colour scheme. A revel 1/72 peashooter is the first thing that comes to mind, but I’ll have a proper trawl through the stash today. Another strong contender Edited July 27, 2022 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I started the planning for this earlier today. Cleaned all the flash, and deburred the parts. Thought out my strategy for the build, how far do I have to get by any milestone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 With incomplete builds all over the place, naturally it would be just plain rude to miss this one ! My victim is below Having done a couple of similar aircraft in @CliffBrecent excellent High Wings GB this one will fit in nicely. Good luck everyone Cheers Pat 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxman Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Think this will do - never got my hands on one when it was first released, so time to put that right. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Yup, I think so, but don't tell @Hockeyboy76 as he will be insisting on the use of pink primer... 😁 Might even go slightly metallic with it - we'll see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) What’s wrong with pink primer? Have to dig out that Boeing during the week, hmm yellow wings Edited August 21, 2022 by Marklo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDWC Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This one has snuck up on me. A visit to my local shop yesterday was a wash as far as a subject goes (although the bruised my wallet well enough with RC car stuff), so it looks like I'm at the mercy of my stash. Will do some digging over the course of the week, and see what matches with paint I have available, etc. Cheers, Justin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Damn, this one snuck up on me. I'll have to see if I can find the time to play this coming weekend. I've been a bit absent from the bench of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Did some digging around. I probably won't decide on what for certain until day of, but for now it's likely narrowed down to one of these. Eggplanes are always solid entries for Blitzbuilds...but getting rid of one of the bagged kits would be nice for storage. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregg136 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I’m a bit short of un started or doable in 24 hours, however I do have an Academy 1/72 Zero I could do. At a push I could also do the 2nd of the 48 scale Eduard ones but let’s start small ey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I did a test fit of some of the F-4 parts to make sure they weren't too warped to work with in an abbreviated time. Good news is while the fuselage parts were warped, they are not unworkable. However after the test fit I went to make sure I had all the paints I needed....and I don't have USAF SEA colors. Ordered some last night, but it's not likely to arrive in time for this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually now that I think of it the PM kits in the local toy shop are great Blitzbuild fodder must stock up a bit for the next one ( any excuse ) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
